Volunteer of the Year

Belle and her humom are the St. Mary's Regional Medical Center in Enid, OK Volunteers of the Year for 2008. We got lots of gifts and even a really neat photo that will hang in the lobby of the hospital for the next year. When next year's volunteer of the year is selected, we get to keep the photo for our own.

Working Titles

Daisy Belle or Belle (her call name) has received her AKC Canine Good Citizen Certificate and the highest Therapy Dogs International active working title, TDIG. Her brother, Obie is also a therapy dog with TDI, has earned the highest TDI working title TDIG. Both Belle and Obie went for regular visits to St. Mary's Regional Medical Center and Enid Senior Care 6 and 3 years respectively. Since we have moved to a new town, we are establishing ourselves in the therapy dog world here. We have visited a preschool and library as I am trying to change over to the reading dog program. They love to visit knowing they will get to see many of the same people week after week. Occasionally we visit civic organizations or other facilities. Belle is the most outgoing and remembers you once she has met you before. Obie is more laid back and waits for the world to come to him.
