100 Hours - OpenGate MissTake
It All and Shelley Oney
Our first 100 hours, WOW! OpenGate
MissTake It All and I accomplished most of
those hours by visiting the University of MN
along with other assisted living facilities
and such.  We are registered as a team
with Pet Partners Animal Therapy. We just
finished our 4th year as an animal therapy
team. Before a visitation, there are a lot of
hours spent in making sure OG (for short)
is presentable. To prepare for a visit there
is bathing, grooming, possibly clipping if
shedding heavily. We enjoy visiting with
various individuals, bringing smiles, joy and
giving folks an opportunity outside of their
normal routine.
Future goals? Outside of continuing with Pet Partners and our visits, I am not sure. Last summer, I managed to
acquire a cart and harness small enough for OG. So, I look forward to driving her a bit. No competitions, just around
the area. Also continuing to introduce to her any type of obstacle she may encounter when visiting.
