Welcome everyone to the first blog on the subject of pet-provided therapy, as seen through the eyes of the members and friends of Gold Country Love on a Leash (GCLOAL). I'm Jon, a founder and current Chapter Leader. GCLOAL has been around a bit less than two years now, and we've come a long way! We've got some great volunteers throughout Placer County, California, who are dedicated to our simple creed - using our skills and our relationships with our dogs to make people feel better. Pretty simple.
In the upcoming entries of The Dawg Blawg, guest bloggers and I will talk about some of the work we have been doing, the people we have met, and the breakthroughs we've seen. We'll share our experiences of connecting heart to heart with the people we visit, and of gently holding an arthritic hand against our dogs' fur for petting. We may post a picture or two while we're at it.
Blawg rules - for now, the Comments are turned Off. That may change later. The Blawg does not come out on a set schedule.
See you in the next Blawg!
