“You are cordially invited to a gala night of entertainment organized by inmates of Golden Years and their well-wishers,” says the invitation to the doctor. Golden Years is an old age home in the neighborhood, which he often visits to help residents with their recurring health issues.
The last few months have been different though. One hears infectious laughter and endless chatter from the common lawns, and the doctor claims no credit for that.
The rambunctious energy of kids from the orphanage and two furry companions have made all the difference. God bless the pure souls, who make doctors redundant!
Creative Experiments and More 
Energy begets energy. Laughter and engagement. What better way than to bring kids and dogs into the picture. Everyone, in my opinion, is the better for it!

Indeed, when i visit anyone at one of these places and bring my “granddog,” it’s amazing what a difference that makes.

It sounds like orphanages, old age homes and pet shelters should be put together.

We have a community here that often has children and teens visit. They also have cats and dogs visit. All before COVID, but hopefully, the visits will begin again soon.
