Barbara marked an incredible milestone this week as she celebrated her 100th birthday at The Grange! Her family came together…
Inspired by the excitement of watching Crufts, residents at The Grange have been getting involved in a bit of dog training — with the help of Dotty, an adorable Labrador puppy, and her owner Lee.
The session was filled with smiles, laughter, and plenty of wags as Dotty showed off her playful personality and eagerness to learn. Our residents were thrilled to take part, trying their hand at some training techniques and helping Dotty practice a few basic commands. There was no shortage of treats and praise, and Dotty responded with boundless enthusiasm.
Beyond the fun and games, spending time with animals brings so many benefits. Interaction with pets can lift spirits, ease stress, and encourage social engagement, and it was wonderful to see residents bonding over their shared love of dogs.
A huge thank you to Lee and Dotty for bringing so much joy and warmth to our home. We’re already looking forward to their next visit.
