4-H club shares love of dogs
Katelynn Sidoti, 10, of Enterprise swaps dog tales with Ray Collins at Wallowa Valley Care Center. Katelynn and her Rat Terrier, Daisy, visited the center with four other human/canine teams from the Mighty Mutts 4-H Club.
Five members of the Mighty Mutts 4-H club spent Saturday morning sharing their love of dogs with residents of Wallowa Valley Care Center in Enterprise recently, bringing back great memories for all. "I had a dog just like this," said Al Fregulia, 87, of Enterprise as he stroked the sleek head of Pete the Lab. "There's nothing like a nice dog." "Pete" is owned by Cody Arbogast, 12, of Enterprise.
The trip to the Care Center was Club President Arbogast's Junior Community Service Leadership project, but all of the students expressed an interest in returning for a second visit. Other dog/owner teams were Katelynn Sidoti, 10, of Enterprise and her Rat Terrier "Daisy," Anna Rinehart, 10, of Joseph and her Welsh Corgi "P.J.," Baily Wearin, 11, of Joseph and her Blue Heeler "Grace," and Natalie Williams, 9, of Joseph with her Border Collie "Roxy."
Staff at the center said that residents love the visits. "They love animals and kids," said Loan Moon, a CMA at the Center. "They just love it." |
