If you could give your human advice, what words of wisdom would you share? Life is short! Let’s enjoy our time together and reward each other for the good things we do. We need to take the time to go on walks, play on the beach, take naps, and have fun. Happiness is found in all things from treats to going on rides!
Wild card (something unique about you): I’m kind of intense when it comes to tennis balls and I once cracked my front tooth when I jumped off an eight foot retaining wall in mid-chase
Why are you coming to Wellsprings? I had an episode of immune-mediated arthritis and lost lots of muscle tone. I needed a low-impact way to get my muscles strong and back sprinting for tennis balls. It worked!
What do you like best about Wellsprings? Sheila and Gretchen’s kindness, great massage hands, and the warm pool. Also the awesome squeaky toys!
