Thank you for your feedback. An op-shop means: an opportunity shop or a Secondhand store or a Pre-loved store. It sells items previously owned by someone else.

That's a great idea Joanne, this would be a perfect Mother's Day activity.

Hi Annette, I am afraid only the facility where you intend to take the dog will be able to help you. It is up to management to allow a pet in the facility. Where I work we have two small dogs. There are 'duty statement' involving staff in their upkeep:
  1. who feeds the dogs
  2. who takes the dogs outside for toilet breaks,
  3. who grooms the dogs
  4. who bathes the dogs
  5. who is in charge of taking dogs to the Vet (when needed) and
  6. who cleans up the mess if the dogs have accidents inside facility etc.
These sort of duties have to be sorted out before the dog is brought to the facility.
Good luck! Believe me it is worth it, our residents love our pets: Panamax and Aspro.

Yes...we need to be mindful of what it feels like to suffer from dementia. I have added a print version to all blog posts now - you will find the link under the blog title. This will enable you to print just the blog content and not the whole website!
