Adventure Camp, Spring 2014

Adventure Camp, spring 2014, Phoebe was taking in the view while waiting patiently for the first busload of kids to arrive on 4/22/14.  The weather was beautiful, the sun was shining and everyone had a great day!

 

 

 

 

4/24/14, the day started off quite breezy and overcast, making it rather chilly.  Phoebe was shivering uncontrollably, so we wrapped her in a beach towel to help block the wind.

 

Even the Chick-Fil-A cow made an appearance, but she forgot to bring free samples!

 

This picture was sent to us by a relative of the little boy petting Phoebe's head.  We love it when you send us pix of your family members loving on our therapy pets!!

 

Eddie @ the Altenheim

Eddie receiving some love from Altenheim resident, Mary.

When doing Pet Therapy visits, we aren't always visiting strangers.  Phoebe and her parents recently took a trip south and visited with family they hadn't seen in years.  Aunt Anna and cousins Cassie and Hunter welcomed Phoebe's presence, she even makes a good pillow.

 

 

On a recent visit to The Episcopal Church Home during the Christmas holiday, our friend Mia accompanied us to hand out candy canes to the residents.  Phoebe and Mia paused for a photo by the Christmas Tree.

 Phoebe and her handler, Kim, love visiting the girls at Maryhurst.  Phoebe often rolls over and presents her belly for rubs.



And meet Brisco.  He is our newest member in training to be a therapy pet.  He's a six month old Great Dane pup.  He starts his official schooling in January, wish him luck!!

Adventure Camp 09-20-2012

The weather Thursday was much nicer, the number of campers was much greater, and the fun had was great as usual!  :)

If anybody has photos they took while at Adventure Camp they would like to have posted, email them to:  petloveinc@yahoo.com 

Thursday's team was Gail & Toby, Kim & Phoebe

Phoebe was contemplating going for a ride with Tipper on his golf cart.

Mornings are so peaceful and the sun is so beautiful coming up over the lake.  It's worth being there just to watch it rise and enjoy a cup of coffee before things get busy.

Adventure Camp 09-18-2012

It's fall, so that must mean it's time for Adventure Camp!!

Pet Love members, both 2-  4-legged are in attendance (or scheduled to be) everyday of the event.

 

 

 

 In attendance Tuesday were: Kim & Phoebe, Pam & Tori, Cathy & Sadie

Phoebe & Sadie were slow to hit it off, this is about as close as they were willing to get to each other. Of course the fact that one moment Phoebe wanted to pounce on Sadie in a less than playful fashion and the next she was trying to administer her "friendship test" by bopping Sadie on the head to see how she'd react, didn't help foster any warm fuzzy feelings from Sadie towards Phoebe. 

  

Little Tori just behaved & minded her own business.

 

Sadie says: Mmmm, that banana pudding was good stuff!

This is Phoebe with Alayne, one of the faithful camp volunteers.

 

Despite the overcast sky and cool temperatures, it's still a beautiful place to visit.
