Hi, friends! 🐾 Heidi here!
I had a wonderful time visiting my bestie Lily at her school, ACES Bassett Road! Lily is there full time, and we had so much fun spending time with the students and creating smiles and joy together.
After our visit, Lily and I found a cozy spot for a bestie picture—and a little snuggle! Bestie snuggles are the perfect way to wrap up a happy school day🐾🐾🐾🐾🦴🐕🐕‍🦺
XOXO Heidi and Lily 🩷

🐾Happy World Teachers’ Day! 🍎🐾
To the wonderful teachers @aces_connecticut and across Connecticut: thank you for the amazing things you do every day.
During our visits to schools, Heidi and I see the patience, kindness, and care you bring to your students. You encourage them, celebrate their progress, and help make school a place where they feel supported and ready to learn.
We’re grateful for the warm welcomes you give us and for all the ways you make a difference in students’ lives.
With appreciation and happy tail wags,
Heidi and Rich🐾🐾🐾🐾🦴🍁📚🍎

🎀 Three pairs of paws, one pink mission! 🐾💗
Heidi, Lily, and Hana are wearing pink to welcome Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Today, our hearts are with everyone whose life has been touched by breast cancer—those going through treatment, survivors, families, caregivers, and people remembering someone they love. We’re sending you comfort, connection, and love from our ACES Facility Dog Team. 🌸
A gentle reminder for the adults in our community: talk with your healthcare provider about whether breast cancer screening is right for you and when to have it. 💕
