[Gpdd] Health: Piggy Therapy

[Guineapigfilms at aol.com]

Amber,

In my experience, you need to first contact the Activity Director of the 
nursing home if you want to bring your piggies in for giving therapy. Sometimes 
the Activity Director then has to clear it with the administrators of the 
institution. (The Director may want to make it more of an organized activity, where 
the people who want to participate gather in a common room to see and pet the 
piggies. In my case, they also showed my movies on a screen.) If you are 
wanting to bring them to a children's hospital, contact the Child Life Specialist 
or Play Therapist. Different places have different rules. My mom once worked in 
the Pediatrics Department of a hospital as a Play Therapist, and she got 
clearance to bring in a monkey!  :) 

Love and WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEPS,
