My name is Stephanie. I love to hike with my dogs. I take my dogs everywhere. I have a dad that works as a fireman. I like to read. I am working on an event for bring your pet to work day for volunteers and animals for the critical care unit. I think dogs are more trainable than cats. I may include cats in my event also. I am a volunteer at my local hospital where my mom works. I am not familiar with nursing homes or assisted living facilities. I plan on researching local nursing homes or assisted living facilities for bring your pet to work day.
I love to hunt. I take my dog deer hunting. I love animals. I think hunting helps control the deer population. I like to read. I have a cat named Henry.  I think a cat purring is therapeutic. I have a dog.
How is your cat Henry doing?  If I include cats in my event would you bring him into the hospital? Henry is great! Super happy all the time. I would bring him however, my dog Ollie might be a better fit. He loves hanging out and seeing people. Henry is a little trouble maker at times, you know? I'm glad to hear that the cat is happy. I usually find cat to be grumpy. Maybe I'm the reason they're grumpy? LOL. Cats aren't for everyone! They pick up on a lot. They are smart little things. What types of dogs do you have? I have a black lab and a golden retriever. Both very good boys! They love to run around outside. Every time I stand up, they think we're going for a walk! LOL They sound amazing. Ollie is a Catahoula Leopard, so same, he thinks we are always going outside for a walk. I am lucky, I have a fenced in yard, so he can run around. Some dogs try to dig under the fence and get out. They can't stand being confined. I haven't had that problem yet, but I take them for walks quite often. Ollie doesn't know he can do that... so far! I do have camera and my neighbors also have a fence, so he wouldn't get very far. Some people think hunting is cruel, but the deer population gets out of control and it's bad for the whole ecosystem. I don't have a problem with that kind of hunting because it's not cruel. What do you do with the animal carcass? There's a place in town that preserves them and puts them on display in museums.  Ok. I figure some people use the deer for the meat. I've had venison. Very lean and tasty. I do that occasionally, but there's just so much, usually.
