We're closing out September with an amazing discovery ... a week ago my Mom at 92yrs moved to an active Life Care Center and Emma tried her paw at Therapy work ... SHE'S A NATURAL ... she walked thru 2 automatic, folding doors and greeted 30+ residents in wheelchairs of all kinds ... greeted the ones that put their hands out with a "lick" and didn't jump up ...WOW she amazed me and I'm so proud of her  💖
