Cherry Trees residents and staff support Barley our P.A.T dog with her owner Paula every year at Crufts dog show. We are always there at 3pm as this is the time that Barley goes into the show ring. People are able to see the good work that the Pets as Therapy organisation performs. One of our residents even entered the ring with Barley so that the audience could see the interaction between them. People were moved by the love between them and the resident said: “This is marvelous”. We saw lots of breeds of dogs at the show, some big, some small. Next time we might even take a bag big enough to smuggle a pooch home! Barley visits Cherry Trees on a regular basis and we even have a 'Barley biscuit box' that the residents and staff can give her a treat from to say thank you for visiting. Message from the Manager I am pleased to announce that our new dining room in Memory Lane is now open after being refurbished. Please look out for lots of other changes happening in the home in the next few months. A big thank you to all the staff for all your support, I cannot wait to see what fantastic things have been happening in our home in the next newsletter!
