Kelsy did very well, did not get overly excited, and waited patiently to be petted. She didn't force herself into anyone's space without invite. Which is great. She's definitely going to do well with this mission. She either sat down in front of me or laid down until someone approached to say hello. She's not very photogenic because she's camara shy so don't be surprised if some of her pictures look like she's not happy lol. She just does not like camara's at all lol.
Kelsy has given me so much support of the last year that I wanted to share her with the Soldiers at the R&R Center. The touch of a gentle, well mannered dog can calm alot of folks nerves. And ease depression. We have been asked to visit the Triage Center, which if you've ever been there, it's the armpit of the R&R Center. Very small waiting area and usually very full. So, Kelsy and I may end up visiting the Triage center today depending on how things go. I will be meeting with the head of Triage this morning to discuss it. I look forward to being able to share my four legged therapist with the Soldiers of Fort Hood.
Speaking of getting approval to have Kelsy in different places, I was granted permission to bring her to the WTU with me so that I can share her with the Soldiers there. This is great because she needs to get lots of human interaction in order to effectively complete her training.
Thank you for reading. I decided to create a blog for Kelsy and her work so that it doesn't cloud the Dulce Bellum Inexpertis blog mission.
Old Sarge and Kelsy out :)
