Signs, Signs & A Good Fence @ JMU's Arboretum

click on photos to enlarge
Ashlyn took this picture on Tuesday. It's exams week and JMU brought dogs in to help relieve the stress on the students. What a great idea right?! Ashlyn just took her last exam yesterday so she has officially finished her junior year and is now on summer break!

    I think it's an excellent idea Tanya, I think they take or have pets in aged homes now for the same reason.. Pets are the best :)

    What a cute dog. They do that on campuses here as well during exam periods.

    Great idea, we have a cat and you can't help but feel relaxed when she plonks herself down on your lap for a snooze!

    Great stress relief, and I'll bet the dogs enjoy the attention as well. Good sign.

    What a fabulous idea! And this looks like such a sweet dog! What is that last picture, is it a pool cover?

    That is pretty cool to bring in dogs to help relief test stress. Wish they would have done that when I was in school.
    Neat shot of the fence at the arboretum. I like the tile pattern there too.

    That's a great idea! Animals can help in so many ways! Nice shot of the fence and circular arboretum tile.

    I really love the brick work on that second photo. And I would love to be able to go and pet a cat or dog when I feel stressed. Of course, I do pet Olive the pug and that helps. She has a way of looking at a person with all the sympathy in the world.

    Great idea to have pets to remove exam-stress at colleges.
    I love the view of the fence and the arboretum, Tanya!
    Well done.

    Have a Beautiful Day!
    Peace :)
