Our hearts (and laps!) were VERY full today! 🐾💛✨

We had the sweetest visit from Golden Heart Haven, who brought 8 adorable baby Golden Retrievers to spend some time with our residents! 🐶 There were puppy cuddles, kisses, wagging tails, lots of laughter and smiles everywhere you looked. It’s amazing how a little puppy love can bring out so much joy and create such beautiful moments.

Our residents had an absolute BLAST loving on these precious babies — and we’re pretty sure the puppies enjoyed all the extra attention just as much! 🐾🥰

Thank you, Golden Heart Haven, for filling our community with so much happiness today. Eight tiny puppies… a whole lot of BIG smiles! 💛🐶✨ see you next time!!!
