Volunteers brought their animals for our residents and family members to hold and pet. The animals included “Layla” and “Glitch” (miniature horses), a pony named “Cookie”, goat brothers “Thor” and “Loki”, “Sky” the parakeet, “Hal’e” the Umbrella Cockatoo Parrot, a rat named “Alphia”, “Duncan” the Guinea Pig, a rabbit named “Fluffy”, “Duffy” the duck, and 2-4 day old baby chicks. Volunteers and staff brought residents from Memory Care to visit the animals. Mt. Democrat covered the event. Everyone had a great time and was delighted to see these wonderful pets! ![pic_4.jpg](https://blog.eskaton.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2016/Q3/pic_4.jpg?width=559&height=419&name=pic_4.jpg) ![pic_70.jpg](https://blog.eskaton.org/hs-fs/hubfs/2016/Q3/Blog_Images/pic_70.jpg?width=559&height=419&name=pic_70.jpg) ### Share This Post! - - - ## Get in touch!
