> Hello:

> Today my golden Eva is four years old.  It is amazing how fast time goes by.
> It seems like just weeks or months ago that I brought the little fourteen
> month old graduate home.  She is an amazing guide.  She walks slow and does
> not pull and never needs corrections.  Eva is the perfect match for me.  She
> is a true joy to work.  She especially enjoys going to the nursing home to
> visit my parents.  I take her harness off so staff and residents can enjoy
> petting her.  Mom and dad tell me that a lot of the people cry when they are
> petting and hugging her.  I know this is not correct guide dog behavior but,
> I do not mind because Eva works perfectly once I put her harness on again.
> I think it is important to give the residents the interaction with a dog
> because they have all had to give up their pets when they were admitted.
> Eva brings a lot of loving kindness to the staff and residents of the
> Homeview Health and Rehab Center.  I am proud that she can be my guide as
> well as provide much needed pet therapy to so many people.  Happy Birthday
> to Eva and here is wishing you many more years of great guiding and sharing
> your love.
> Sandra Johnson and Eva
