People in the News

▪Sophie the Puppy is growing quickly. She’ll still be lap size when full-grown but she won’t fit in the average human’s palm like she did when she first started visiting the Center with her pet human, CFH Events Coordinator Whitney Nickle. (Note: If you do see Sophie in the hallways say hi to Whitney also so she doesn’t feel left out.)
Speaking of critters, what ever happened to the CFH mascot , the bunny rabbit in the adult courtyard?
Rather than let “People in the News” go completely to the dogs (not that Sophie isn’t a legitimate subject; she is a people pooch) please relay any newsworthy people happenings to Uncle Ron. The Herald will not publish your name without your permission. Thank you.
