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

...Continued from previous post:

    Our Los Angeles friend veterinarian  Jessica Waldman is founder and medical director of California Animal Rehabilitation,

​...also known as CARE.

     CARE is a physical therapy center for dogs,

...kitties,

​...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,

...strengthening exercises,

​...and  acupuncture,

...administered with lots of TLC.

     It was Jessica who told us  about the  Annenberg PetSpace, a beautiful, ultra-modern animal adoption and education center in nearby Playa Vista established and funded by philanthropist Wallis Annenberg,

...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.
       There would be children's activities, free food, and lots of animals to see. And so we decided to go.

      The interior of the PetSpace was pristine but colorful and welcoming,

...and filled with tables of vendors and information groups,

​...children's activities,

...free hot dog and pizza stations,

...people,

​...and their pets,

...and senior animals in need of homes.

    After a once-around-the-PetSpace,

​...and a lunch break,

... we had  a tour of the animal care  area with the PetSpace Education Program Coordinator David Bard,

​...who showed us all around the place, and how the animals are cared for.

    After our tour was finished we went up to the second floor,

...to see some more of the adoptable animals,

​...the  human-sized gerbil wheel,

​...and the big tube slide back to the first floor.

     With that our visit was over and we headed for home.
