About Me

Hi, I’m Traci!

Hi, I’m Traci, pictured with Lucy, my Therapy Dogs International (TDI) certified therapy dog. You could say I am crazy about all kinds of dogs! This takes me back to my childhood days. These furry friends were my rock in a home filled with uncertainty. Throughout my life they have touched my heart in so many ways…I am hoping the content of this blog touches yours. Now, being a certified therapy dog handler, I can pass joy on to those that can no longer own dogs of their own due to health or living circumstances. I continue to grow in this field, as I have only been certified for a couple years. I still learn important information everyday. I feel fortunate to share what I learn through petting, cuddling and comforting those I visit. I feel so blessed to be able to share Lucy and these experiences with them. And now with you. Come along with me as I learn, share and grow through the eyes of dogs. It will be amazing!
