Before
This afternoon Tilly and I did a Pet Therapy session with the City of Edmonton 311 operators. She was her normal friendly, cheerful self and I think everyone enjoyed loving her up. I don’t know what it is about Therapy work but she is always exhausted after. She was a sleep before the car exited the parkade and she snored the whole way home.

After
Therapy work can be exhausting for dogs. Because of their natural empathy they can absorb the sadness and emotions and in some cases even the physical ailments of people they visit. There is a fine line and balance and with some dogs you cannot go to the well too often. When a dog is exhausted after a pet therapy session it is time for a break 💜
