The Pet Therapy Society annual Christmas Party was enjoyed by many!
Thanks to Linda Zakowski for planning such a lovely event and thanks to her team of decorators!
On Sunday, November 29th the Pet Therapy Society held the annual Celebration of Remembrance. The room was beautifully set up with the focus being on our PAWS To Remember wall which features photos of Pet Therapy animals who have crossed over the Rainbow Bridge.
At one point, those in attendance were invited to come forward and light a candle in memory of their special pet. People were welcome to say a few words. Everyone spoke and there were many beautiful memories that were shared.
Special thanks to all those who were involved in the planning and execution of the event. It was a great success and was a very meaningful time for a lot of people.
