I really enjoy older people. My dog and I go to 10 nursing homes and have been for the past 5 years (ever since he was 3 months old). He is an English Mastiff and loves everyone so it is kind of a natural thing that the dog loves. It also helps that he is a Large dog. The residents dont have to bend over from their wheelchair or bed to pet him. He just puts his head on the bed or in their lap. This just seemed like another way to possibly bring something new into their otherwise mundane days.
Thanks for your words of encouragement.
