Up close with pets



By JESSE GRAHAM

RESIDENTS at Healesville’s Holmwood Private Aged Care Facility had a special day at the show day last week, with furry and feathered friends coming along to visit.
Staff at the facility organised a Melbourne Show-inspired day for the residents on Wednesday 22 October, with showbags, games and activities of all kinds to enjoy – including a toy duck shoot with a Nerf gun.
Activities co-ordinator, Ben O’Brien, said staff members brought their pets for a special kind of petting zoo – dogs, chickens, guinea pigs and even a lamb came to visit the residents for a cuddle or two.
Vivienne, pictured, was pleased to have the company of Lucy the dog at the event.
