Quote of the Day

"Dogs are our link to paradise. They don’t know evil or jealousy or discontent. To sit with a dog on a hillside on a glorious afternoon is to be back in Eden, where doing nothing was not boring - it was peace."

 – Milan Kundera

Puppies visit nursing home
We recently took Bill and Richie, two Lab Retriever puppies to Staunton Health and Rehab in Staunton for a visit with the residents there.  Looking at this video, it's difficult to tell who enjoyed the visit more, the residents or the puppies.  04/08/2025
