A Double Pet Surprise Visit!


The residents of Juniper Village at Lebanon were treated to a double surprise visit by two very popular pets:  "Teddy" the terrier and "Bandit" the bunny.  They were both here at the same time, but they got along just fine.  While "Bandit" made his way around visiting the residents sitting on the couches, "Teddy" visited people sitting in the chairs around the perimeter of the room.  They were both about the same size, which is actually a nice size for the residents as many of them want to hold them on their laps.  "Teddy" is a certified Therapy Dog, and he visits often, but this was "Bandit's" first visit, and he did very well.  Many thanks to our nurse Collette Stroh for bringing in her pet rabbit for our residents to enjoy!
