Tennis Anyone?

Nala enjoys a good game of tennis when she is not practicing her therapy dog skills.

Chasing after tennis balls is fun, but a dog can get tired. After a good game of tennis, Nala relaxes with one of her favorite chew toys.

Teddy Celebrated his Screen Debut

Our friend Teddy was supposed to star in the stage version of Annie at the Goodspeed Opera House. Instead, he and his owner, Heidi, did a school movie about therapy dogs.

The movie is part of an Apple + TV series called “Little Voices.” You can watch a trailer for the movie on YouTube.

Teddy is one cool pup!!

Nala is Attending Summer School

Summertime should be fun, but Nala is all business. She is working hard to maintain her skills so she will be ready to return to school in the fall. Nala misses classroom visits where she spends time with young children helping them become strong readers. The students and staff at UConn Health miss Nala too!

Lulu is enjoying summer on the water

During the summer, Lulu’s family spends a lot of time at the shore.

Being on the water is one of Lulu’s favorite things.

As soon as the boat stops and Lulu hears a splash, that’s her cue to jump in.
