This therapy horse goes into nursing homes for dying patients!

1. The VA in San Francisco had a resident cat in their hospice unit who had an uncanny knack for

predicting when a patient would pass. At the time, I really couldn't quite believe it. And then this cat just walked into my brother's room and spent an hour or so sitting on the end of my brother's bed the day before he died. My brother died on Easter Sunday (April 8, 2012).

3. Wow

Just like in, "Dr. Sleep" by Stephen King.

5. I am unfamiliar with "Dr. Sleep," but now I have put it on my reading list. Thanks!

7. It follows the kid in, "The Shining", as an adult

Bang up good story! The movie was pretty good too.

2. Horses are the best

For the most part, empathetic and kind. I can't tell you how many times I've wrapped my arms around one of my guys' necks, and cried into their mane. Breathing in that sweet horsie scent of warm fur. They have a very calming presence. And then they look for cookies in my pockets!

I'm kind of amazed that a stallion would be this cooperative. He looks like a very sweet boy, who enjoys his job.

6. I so wish I had a horse.

At least once, my only regret in life. I love them so.

8. Can you volunteer at a horse therapy facility?

They usually focus on disabled kids.

9. Actually have a lady near by

And can volunteer with her horse camp. Just my damn knee, and I lost my touch with the reins.

Maybe a miniature horse. I do think of that. Thanks for your suggestion.
