ANNUAL HOLIDAY PARTY
Fifteen people and eight dogs had a wonderful time on December 3 at our annual holiday party. We ate a lot of delicious food, had great conversations, opened presents, and watched the dogs have fun together . . . especially with the Dog-E-Logic game. Check out the pictures below.

Ella and Fina were on hand to help Joanne open her gift.

Maxx checks out the presents.

Guess what Bram got!

Bing has great success with the Dog-E-Logic game.

It was nice to be together.

PAWS TO READ . . . VOLUNTEERS NEEDED

     Libraries in both Basalt and Carbondale now have Paws to Read programs up and running, as do Glenwood Springs Elementary School and Ross Montessori School (Carbondale).  Any registered team (passed evaluation and has insurance) who likes working with children is welcome. We will provide an orientation on what to do.
     Children, parents, teachers, librarians and our members/dogs love the program - we get great feedback constantly. Come try it and see why it’s so much fun! Contact Trish at 945-5943 or MountainMamaT@msn.com

CONGRATULATIONS TO DAVY!

Davy completed her training and certification to be a Therapy Dogs, Inc. (TDInc) evaluator!

Dogs who are on a raw protein diet cannot be members of the Delta Society, so the Heeling Partners Board chose Therapy Dogs, Inc. as an alternative. Note: TDInc is NOT the same organization as TDI.

More on this in the near future . . .

VALLEY VIEW PATIENT PRAISES HEELING PARTNERS TEAMS!
K.S. of Basalt, Colorado wrote . . . “The dog visits were the best part of my stay at the hospital. I had two visits, one with Lorda and one with Bing. They were so sweet, gentle and loving, and also very cute. I really miss my own dog right now and the visits really helped with that and just made me feel so much happier. I think this is a wonderful program that is very beneficial to the patients as well as the dogs . . . The two visits I had were great. They really cheered me up and the handlers were great too"
