We have exciting news!
Gidget has been asked to take on a special mission with Horizons4Girls (a non-profit helping young women to navigate life’s road map).
Let me first say this mission was accomplished last year by another wonderful dog named Gizmo who flew all the way from Connecticut to help out with this project. But he is now “pawing” the torch to Gidget. We are very honored to accept and carry on the mission.
So what is the mission you ask? Well, thanks for asking! We are chomping at the bit to tell you.
Horizons4Girls instills in the girls the value of community service, among many other wonderful lessons they teach. One of their projects each holiday season is to deliver cookies to a nearby nursing home called Rocky Knoll. Last year Gizmo went along to help them deliver the cookies and spread love and joy.
But this year it will be Gidget! I was so thrilled when Char, the founder of Horizons4Girls asked if we would do this. The date hasn’t been picked yet, but it will be a Saturday in December. I’ll be sure to share with you how it goes once we complete this special joy assignment.
On another note, Gidget and I will also be visiting Horizons4Girls in early December to talk about “Pet Power!”– How pets positively impact our lives. And boy do I have many thoughts running through my head that I can’t wait to share with the girls. Gidget will no doubt be her Buddha dog self offering her quiet wisdom.
