I'm in a local Therapy Pet organization with Giselle. Because I'm the only volunteer younger than 18, I'm like a "pilot program" by myself so the coordinator and I always have to nit pick at my options. I visited an elder housing facility a few times, and it was just heartbreaking for me to walk in there. But seeing the astonished smiles on some of the seniors' faces lit up my heart in a way that I'll never forget. I have never felt so much love and empathy for others until this experience and I highly recommend anybody with a well-behaved to do it. Lately, though, we've been participating in PAWS to Read programs where young children read stories to the TDs. Giselle is pretty much perfect for this since her lifelong pasttime is sleeping...

As long as Royal is confident in all situations and does not react to strange equipment, people, or situations, he should do well. And as long as he can listen and obey in these situations, you'll be fine.

I chose not to do it with TDI or Delta because the group I'm with is very close-knit and intimate and I *love* that. I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time!
