Myself and a few friends got together and we took a donkey,2 mini's,1 pot belly pig,2rabbits,2chickens,1pgmy goat,1 dog, a parakeet and Macaw parrot and a chinchilla over to ST. Mary's nursing home for the residents to see and touch. All the animals were great, the residents really enjoyed it also. I think that we're going to start doing this on a regular basis. It was a good feeling seeing all the residents smiling and even the not so coherent ones.

:clap: That is awesome! I have always wanted to do something like that, but my dog is....ummmm, a little too overbearing and hyperactive for that kind of thing.

Just go to one and ask the activities director. Most of them are begging for people to come in once a week or month to provide the residents with some kind of entertainment. It was a great feeling to see the residents smile and laugh and pet the animals. It also gave us great satisfaction knowing we made them happy and that we could do something with our animals.

I also know that the adult day care center in Hollywood is asking for people to come and show things to the adults there. There located at the old elementry school. A friends uncle attends there and thier newsletter was asking for people to share things with them.

Hey Mingiz, remember me? I'm the one that adopted Donk a few years back. I was wondering how his daughter was doing? I think you said her name was Joyful? Anyway, I saw her when she was a baby, and was just wondering how she is!

Oh yes I remember ya.... :howdy: I'm not sure where she ended up. My friend had to downsize the herd because of illness. We still have the original 2 Jack & Jill. There in thier late 20's that we know of. And we have LuLu that was given to us by Prep4U. She's a trip..have to watch your back around her. She loves to sneak up on ya and butt ya for attention. Stop by the next time your down this way....
