Happy National Puppy Day! This is my therapy dog Maggie when she was just a cock-a-poo puppy. Thank goodness I am sheltering in place with her! Walking her gives me outside time, doing yoga with her is more challenging, and I sleep much more peacefully with her snuggled up with me. She has been a VT Helping PAWS therapy dog for 5 years. She misses visiting and so do I. Take care and stay safe. Wishing you all puppy love!

Sending Puppy Love and Virtual Toilet Paper! So sorry we can't visit our dear Virginia Tech students, VT Child Care and Adult Care Friends, schools, libraries, hospitals and Assisted Living Homes right now. We will try to share the love of our VT Helping PAWS Therapy Pets by posting photos and videos of our therapy animals. We are lucky enough to be sheltering in place with our beloved therapy pets and we are happy to share them with you on Facebook until we can visit in person again. Stay safe and take care dear friends. 🥰🐕🐱🐰🐦🐭😜
