ADVANCED KENNEL VOLUNTEER – LOIS
At 4:30 this morning, June 7, 2017, I underwent an MRI. As I am extremely claustrophobic, this was torture for me. I was medicated prior to the test but was still panicking in the machine. The only way I got through the test was to envision the wonderful cuddles that my very special buddy, Damon, and I have shared during my volunteer hours in Advanced Kennel. Thank you, Damon!
