Bella has become a local entertainer

During this past school year, until schools closed, Bella visited the classes of children with special needs. Some of the children were on the autism spectrum, others had suffered emotionally, or had hyperactivity disorder.

When schools shifted to remote learning, Bella and her owner, Howard, began meeting children when they would go for walks. The families in their neighborhood learned that Bella is a therapy dog and asked Howard if Bella could have socially-distanced visits with their children. Bella knows lots of tricks and has been keeping the neighborhood children entertained.

What’s Up, Teddy?

Teddy Wishes Life Would Get Back to Normal

Teddy’s mom, Heidi, told us he has been walking a lot and spending time with his human brother and sister.

Teddy misses his mom who has been out-of-state helping Grandma. He can’t wait for her to get home, because FaceTime is too confusing.

Paging Dr. Shaggy Teddy!

Teddy’s dad works as doctor in the emergency department. Looks like Teddy might be following in his footsteps. What might Teddy’s first order be? Pass the bacon stat!
