Making Connections Grief Camp

Magnum had an exciting day helping the kids at Making Connections Grief Camp this weekend. He helped me read his story to the kids at camp. He helped me make a flower pot to start a memory flower garden. He also helped the children with crafts all day long. Magnum did a great job assisting all the children in a time of need.

This is the first game of the World Series and Magnum hopes Carpenter can pitch a great game! Here's Magnum taking a break and watching the game in the Media Room at Relais Bonne Eau.

Magnum had so much fun last weekend. Two kids (Magnum LOVES kids!) were visiting their Grandma, and they spent some time playing with Magnum. I was so happy because the kids wore Magnum out so he would go to bed on time and sleep so good!

Magnum also visited their Grandma and gave her a little hug by snuggling his nose under her hand so she could feel him there. Magnum knows that there are many ways to communicate love and care.

Magnum hopes he can visit Grandma and play with the kids again soon!

Last week Christine, Print and Social Media Coordinator for Hospice of Southern Illinois, came out and did a photo shoot with Magnum. Magnum was a natural at modeling! Of course he never complained as long as we had his favorite treats and water ready at his request!
