Floyd looks a bit long in the tooth. :oyea: Seriously though, that's great! Animal therapy is amazing.

Floyd is definitely long in the tooth ... or should I say teeth! :oyea: Animal therapy really is amazing, Phil. The lady that founded this place was involved in a head on car accident about 10 years ago with her husband and young son while they were on vacation in Texas. Her husband was killed instantly. When she and her son returned home, she got her son into the "best therapy money could buy" as she puts it, to help him deal with the loss of his father. But she soon realized that for families that didn't have the resources (money) that her family was fortunate to have, there really was no place suited for kids that are coping with grief. So with her husband's life insurance money, she bought a small farm and several miniature horses and other animals and has been helping kids and their families ever since, free of charge. I've been volunteering there since October. It's a great place that provides the kids with a safe environment in which to express themselves and just generally deal with their grief and meet other kids that are dealing with similar things. In addition to Floyd, there are 8 miniature horses (pictured here), a few big horses, 2 donkeys (that were actually married by the mayor! :tongue:), a bunch of cats and a great dog named Philly!
