So I got my nerve up and I called up a local assisted living center (about 2 miles from my house). I was so nervous, lol I know that sounds silly but since it's my first time doing therapy dog work I just want to make sure i do everything right. This is how our conversation went,
"Hello ****** assisted living center, how may I help you."
"HI my name is Erin Fleming, and I was wondering if you would like a visit from a Therapy Dog some time ether this week or next week?"
"Hold on a second..........(I can hear her in the background saying "do we want a therapy dog visit? yes? ok.) When would you like to come over?"
"I can come anytime this week or next"
"when would be good for you?"
"tomorrow would be fine I guess"
"OK we'll see you tomorrow at around 3:00pm?"
"sure! she's a small to medium breed so she'll be a good fit for the seniors"
*smacks self, such a stupid comment*
"many of the seniors here love dogs so it'll be fine"
"ok, bye"
"bye"
I hang up the phone and think "Gah! I forgot to mention what organization I was a member of" Oh well I guess I'll tell them tomorrow.
I groomed Kechara up good, I'm leaving her therapy dogs collar and bandanna on her tonight so she gets used to the feel, I don't want her scratching at her neck the whole time tomorrow.
