Philadelphia Freedom

We spent last weekend in Philadelphia with three other K9 Chaplain/Comfort Dog teams supporting the wonderful people at the Parents of Murdered Children National Conference.  It was a wonderful weekend spending time with old friends and making lots of new friends.  When the conference was over, we were able to check out a few of Philadelphia's hotspots with our youngest daughter and the dogs.  We hope to go back soon, bring our oldest daughter, and spend a little more time enjoying the history and the sights.

Kendra didn't even know who Rocky was!  We'll be borrowing the movie from the library soon.

Wow! It looks like your two dogs have a great life! Helping people and traveling the country. The question is... Which dog would have been Rocky? :)

Stopping by on the Saturday Blogger Hop. So glad to get to see your Daisy!

I would say Husker, our Golden Retriever, is Rocky! We rescued him at 10 months of age about 6 years ago. He's definitely had his share of obstacles to overcome. The stairs were one of the easiest! :) Now he's a therapy dog, a multi-titled dog in multiple venues, and a wonderful family dog. Life is good!

What awesome work. I've never heard of comfort dogs, but what a great idea, since it is all part of a dogs nature anyways. So glad these people have you and your dogs to help them through and ruff time. And look at all the places you get to g!!
