What's up dog?
It's been a big year for Allie!
She has continued to provide support & comfort to the elderly several times every week at my aged care facility, bringing lots of smiles, laughter & reminiscing of earlier years & past pets.
This included Allie's Great Nana who at 99yrs passed away just a month ago. Allie was there by her side right up until her passing. Having her there gave great comfort to my Nana in her final hours, & then to those of us grieving her loss.
Last December she became a Mum giving birth to 6 gorgeous pups & did a wonderful job in providing them with everything they needed.
More recently, together we raised over $1200 for our local animal shelter by challenging ourselves in a 5km obstacle course ..afterall, creatures of all kinds deserve to be loved & cared for.
This is our 3rd time entering so are hoping for 3rd time lucky!
