RUSSELL TOWNSHIP, Ohio — My yellow Labrador Bryce will be 15 years young in early March and goldendoodle Emily will celebrate her ninth birthday on Dec. 5.
They are both certified therapy dogs, and we have done many, many wonderful visits over the years.

Most recently, we participated in a Reading to Rover program at Geauga West Library, and it was costume day. Bryce loves to wear costumes; Emily not so much.
They were channeling the upcoming holidays, as Santa Bryce with his beautiful elf Emily Ann.
These two beauties enrich my life daily!
