A little different. My cat, Princess Leia, snuggled on my dad's blanket. He didn't like cats. She was weary of him when he moved in and she kept her distance. Eventually they compromised. He was on hospice and this was comfort care.

Train on my way back home got delayed but I was blessed by this cute little guy paying me attention

Our daughter was visited by Maddie, a therapy dog, before her (successful) surgery at Phoenix Children’s Hospital... this dog helped all of us more than she will ever know... she’s not a good girl, she’s a great girl

My husband and I found this terrified dog sitting in a crate. She is now my therapy dog and helps me fight anxiety and depression.
