We love receiving and sharing great stories and news about the lives led by Lone Star’s Labradoodles. In 2010 Lone Star Labradoodles donated McLovin’ to Ronald McDonald House in Ft. Worth, Texas. Two other of our Labradoodles live in RMH’s in Houston and Charleston, South Carolina; and a fourth will be dontated to the Ronald McDonald House in Washington, D.C., in 2014. These pups live in the facilities as “house pets” providing love and therapy to families and the precious children who are fighting lift-threatening illnesses. The picture above and the note that follows were sent to me by Jennifer Johns at RMH in Ft. Worth.
Lanie –
I’ve been meaning to write to you FOREVER to tell you what a blessing Mac (McLovin’) has been to our House. He is absolutely perfect for us – you and your sister did an excellent job in assessing his personality. He continues to provide joy and laughter to all of the kids here, as well as adults, too! This picture is priceless. Kodi LOVES him, and he loves to play with her.
He has only had one training session (has another next week), but it’s if he knows what he’s supposed to do anyway. Yesterday, there was a young man (17) in a wheelchair who was getting ready to leave. Mac went out in the foyer, walked behind his wheelchair and jumped up on the bench we have in the hallway. He stood up so that the boy, Tim, could touch him. Too, too cute. Every time he brings a smile or laughter to a child, it makes me think of you and your family. I’ll forward pictures from time to time. He’s SO great and we love, love, love him!
Warm regards,
Jennifer Johns
