One of my all time favorite books is Moments with Baxter. The 36-stories collected in this book are about Baxter, the World’s Best and Oldest Therpy Dog who volunteers at San Diego Hospice.
This book touched me deeply. Finding the words to describe what it is like to be a therapy dog team with Frankie at our local hospice, is not always easy. It is just something you have to experience… my soul soars each time I visit hospice with Frankie. It reminds me each and every time that everyone in this world is beautiful. It reminds me that all we have is the moment we are in. It reminds me to love with all my heart. It reminds me that no matter where you are in your life, you are still living… until you take your last breath, and you move on to the other side. And I believe as this saying by Chief Seattle says, “There is no death, only a change of worlds.”
So with that said, I share this amazing video of Baxter at work at San Diego Hospice… he is now 19 1/2 years old and still giving so much love and joy… he is a testament to unconditional love.
