Visit To The Bell Center

Last week I visited the Bell Center (http://www.thebellcenter.org/) with Hand-In-Paw.  This center is a place where new parents can go if they have a child born with a physical or mental disability.  What a haven this facility is.  As you can see by their website, the Bell center has programs for helping these children progress in their physical and mental abilities and gives the parents a hope that they can care for their little one even amidst the challenges.  I had the opportunity to meet the lovely Ms Bell.  She truly is a wonderful lady and is very proud of all the children that come to her facility.  Lucy and Prince love visiting as they receive loads of attention from the children.  On this particular day they led the children through an obstacle course, hunting for pumpkins.  Both Lucy and Prince were an inspiration for the children to crawl, climb, balance, march, step & jump, and finally slide.  At the end, the dogs were rewarded with a small treat fed to them by the children which also helped them with their coordination and fine motor skills.
