Promise to play catchup on photos tomorrow but today here's one of Kat and Nathan jumping in the pool together.

Everyone is having a blast. Jebi comes tonight. Coops is here. Brewer is here for another half hour and Benji Panda's blonde boy is coming for a visit. I will post photos tomorrow. It's hot and muggy outdoors. It's raining off and on - so in come the cushions, out go the cushions over and over.

Jeannie's blog is now active.

In honor of the games, Barb sent her Dutch gals. How cute!

Here's a snippet from Dusty's mom about her therapy work.

Dusty just finished at Sick Kids this morning, her rounds on 7th. Amazing, child in pain...Dusty enters room, lies down beside her, doctor and nurses enter...how is pain level-surprise as patient is petting Dusty, no pain!  Doctor would really like patient to get up and walk, I suggest how about patient walks us to elevator...patient did a full loop around units walking Dusty together with me, volunteer and nurse while attached to all her IV poles etc. Patient felt great, no pain lots of smiles from everyone including Dusty girl!  Good job this morning.

Beautiful account of Dusty and her Angelic moments w/ this child. Very emotional to read about and I'm sure extremely heart wrenching, but rewarding for those concerned. How wonderful Mom and Dusty are. You are an example to us all! Congratulations! You are very special!

Truly heart-warming. Good to know where medicine fails, these therapy dogs can make such a difference.
