The same can be said about your retirement strategy.

Faithful Paws Therapy Dogs
These Cavalier King Charles Spaniels are registered AKC therapy dogs. My wife, Judy, and I have trained the dogs and received certification for them to visit hospitals, nursing homes, elementary schools for reading programs, secondary schools and local colleges for stress relief during exam periods.
They also participate at local airports with United Airlines to help reduce holiday travel stress during Thanksgiving, Christmas and Spring Break.
