A New Ministry

God has placed a desire on my wifes heart to start a ministry of visiting the elderly and children in hospitals and homes, with a therapy dog.

This is my first attempt with a blog, I pray that I can make it enjoyable to those that visit and care to follow along. I wanted others to be able to enjoy the journey with us as we take a dog from a puppy to an adult and into the world of therapy for those nearing the end of life here on Earth and those with illness.

This is new to us and exciting at the same time. We will be learning as we go along.

Today is the day Corinna (that's my wife) went to visit our soon to be puppy. She did lot's of research and has contacted several people and breeders about what type of dog seems best fitted for therapy work. We found that there are many types of dogs used for therapy, but the one particular dog she found was a "Havanese". I will post a picture and more information on these types of dogs as we move closer to the adpotion date, which will be about mid September.

That is REALLY cool! I'm looking forward to seeing what a Havenese (sp?) dog looks like! Keep us up to date :).

God Bless!
