Guest missygirlsmom Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 my greys & I have been doing this therapy dog thing for about 8yrs. now & having the HONOR of sharing the world of grey's..I'm in central Fl. just north of Tampa. 2 of my greys Okie & Jazz are at the Rainbow Bridge & I have Missy & Eddie now. Missy will be 11 yrs. young next month while my Eddie was just 3 in April. they are wonderful together. Missy has been a Therapy Dog for 4 years & Eddie just made the grade & graduated. they love having a job, because in the world of retirement ya need a little something to keep ya going..Ever think your grey could be a therapy dog?? you'd be surprised !!

Guest RedBrindleBoy Posted January 1, 2010 Share Posted January 1, 2010 My Roo was a therapy dog. He accompanied me to work every day at the nursing home, along with my non-grey dogs. He was also part of the READ program (Reading Education Assistance Dog) at our local library. Roo was a favorite wherever he went, but the children in particular were drawn to his gentle ways. There are many therapy dogs here on GT. Greyhounds are a perfect breed for therapy work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PrairieProf Posted January 2, 2010 Share Posted January 2, 2010 Welcome to GT! My grey was recently approved as a therapy dog through our local organization and we're going to start visits this winter, as soon as I figure out which sites seem like the best match for us. Beth absolutely adores seniors and kids (and everyone, really). I'm the shyer/less social one and so I know it's going to be more of a challenge for me than for her. I look forward to hearing more about Missy and Eddie (and all of us here love to see pictures!).
