This is a series of caches at or nearby sites that my geodog, Redtail, visited as a certified therapy dog. Redtail is my golden retriever who loves to geocache with me. He’s got a nose for a cache and knows when to sit and stay while I sign the log. He is exceptionally sweet and kind. When he was a puppy Mr. Redtail2000 and I promised that we would get him certified as a therapy dog. Admittedly, he had to take Canine Good Citizenship twice because during the final exam he jumped on the instructor… but only because he loved her so much. Those goldens sure do love to be a puppy! Finally at the mature age of eight, he’s made the ranks as a therapy dog certified by the Southwest Canine Corps of Volunteers. Now I get to share with you some of the more poignant events that occurred during our visits. Please always be mindful and respectful of your surroundings when caching at these sites.
During our first visit at the Rehabilitation Center of Albuquerque, Redtail and I watched in amazement while Redtail’s doggy friend licked an arthritic woman’s fingers so much that she regained some movement in her hands again. Redtail loves his friend but therapy dogs aren’t allowed to visit with each other so he lets me pet all of them for him.
Cache on…
**Please be sure to replace cache as you found it to allow for longevity of life…**
Congrats to wolf11469 on the FTF!
