08/04/2017 WEB MEMO
A volunteer writes: Prim is a very gentle and calm soul. He is usually found resting on his bed but he is always ready to come out for company. He is a slow but steady walker and manages the stairs quite well, even that his hinds have known better days. Going to the park is no challenge to him, quite the contrary. Prim seems to like dogs very much. His tail wags as fast as a helicopter wing when he sees one. I was told that he was very spry in playgroups with his peers and had an eye for the ladies…Thank G–, he is not a pigeon or squirrel chaser… Prim loves his time, leash free in the yard. Being with as many humans as possible is to his like. He blesses us with a great smile and happy eyes, gives standing hugs, sits slowly on command and almost makes it on the bench, almost….He loves treats and takes them quite gently from our hands.Being with Prim is a moment of peace and quiet in a busy day, just what we need to recharge our batteries , feel better and stronger. Like your grand mother’s chicken soup, there is nothing better than a good dog to see “La Vie en Rose”…Come and meet our sweet Prim and make him part of your live. Prim is at the Manhattan Care Center.
