Bless The Dogs, The Cats, The Bunnies And The Children

...Continued from yesterday:
    My daughter Maria's good friend veterinarian  Jessica Waldman is founder and medical director of California Animal Rehabilitation,
Picture
Picture
...also known as CARE.
     CARE is a physical therapy center for dogs,
Picture
...kitties,
Picture
Picture
...and even bunnies,
    

...who've suffered injuries, muscle or joint pain or basically any of the same kinds of problems as humans can have that require physical therapy for the recovery of a good, active, pain-free life.
     CARE is a state-of-the-art facility where animals receive medically advanced treatment,

...including water therapy,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...strengthening exercises,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and  acupuncture,
...administered with lots of TLC.
Picture
Picture
Picture
     It was Jessica who told my daughter about the  Annenberg PetSpace, a beautiful, ultra-modern animal adoption and education center in nearby Playa Vista established and funded by philanthropist Wallis Annenberg,
Picture
...and about the Senior Pet Adoption Fair that PetSpace was holding on Saturday, November 24, the aim of which was to find homes for the older animals that were available for adoption from the center.
       As there would be children's activities, free food, and lots of animals to see, Jessica and Maria proposed that their families meet at the Adoption Fair, not for the purpose of adopting another pet, but just for fun. Which, in fact, the day ended up being.

     As family pets were welcome at the event, we brought Pinky Poo along.
Picture
      The interior of the PetSpace was pristine but colorful and welcoming,
Picture
...and filled with tables of vendors and information groups,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...children's activities,
...free hot dog and pizza stations,
Picture
Picture
...people,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...and their pets,
...and senior animals in need of homes.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    We met up with Jessica's family at the CARE exhibit,
Picture
...and after a once-around-the-PetSpace,
Picture
Picture
...and a lunch break,
Picture
... Jessica arranged for a tour of the animal care  area with the PetSpace Education Program Coordinator David Bard,
Picture
Picture
...who showed us all around the place,
...and how the animals are cared for.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
    After our tour was finished,
Picture
Picture
...we went up to the second floor,
...to see some more of the adoptable animals,
Picture
Picture
Picture
...play on a human-sized gerbil wheel,
Picture
...then slide back down to the first floor in a big tube.
    The children had their faces painted,
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
...then we headed back home,
Picture
...at least one of us needing a rest from all the excitement.
