Took kurt down to the therapy dogs inc meeting down in aurora. We both had a pretty good time. There were only about 4 other people and 4 other dogs there tonight. Usually they get more people than that. There weren't any other greyhounds, but they do have one that usually there. There was a famous and highly trained Chinese Creseted named Eric, a doberman, a bichon and a mixed breed dog. All the dogs were very outgoing and friendly. Kurt did great except a few places in rooms where it was close quarters he didn't want to go in. Some of the rooms there at the nursing home were really frikking hot. 90's at least. Some of the people there had dog treats and were very happy to see the dogs. I did get one grumpy lady telling me that since I was a man, I should cut my hair. We were supposed to be there from 6:30 to 7:30, but we didn't leave until 8. Just too easy to go and see more people. Even so there were a number of folks on the list that we didn't manage to get to this time. Was very cool we could brighten up their day. Two more visits with kurt and he can get certified, then we can look for a place closer to home to volenteer at. Also, then it will be twyla's turn to go. I think she would do pretty well at it as well.
