Over the last two decades, Mimi has shared her life with a variety of 'doglets' - Natchez, a chocolate lab, was her first therapy partner, followed by a gentle German Shepherd, Tess and a pair of Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Lilly and Abbey. One of the greatest joys in her life has been the opportunity to work with like-minded folks to honor and deepen the human-animal bond. Luka, a Shih Tzu rescue, is a registered Pet Partner Therapy Dog and visits with patients at Huntsville Hospital Main.
