but I do have a boy Jesse, he does not live with us, he lives away at a place called River Falls.
What type of hobbies do I enjoy? I like to chase squirrels!!! Eat chewie’s and VISIT MY FRIENDS at King. Also ride in the 4-wheeler with my people. Mom likes to read a lot (too much if you ask me!) And she has honkers! Human’s call them “Geese”!
I was raised as a working farm dog. I worked cattle until my farm family died. Then I came to my present house. I trained as a therapy dog with Therapy Dogs International (973-252-9800). I also am a farm dog, companion dog, and cannot forget I am a lover. Mom works at a gas station. She went to school for Animal Science and has done many things in her �ield. I do not pay attention to that – it is boring. I just need pets to know I am love.

Dear Friends at King, my name is Lady and my mom/owner is Val Barden. Mom Val and I started visiting in May of 2019 and we got �inalized to visit at King in August of 2019. My den is in Amherst, about 14 miles by truck. It
is shorter cross-country, but I am not allowed to go that way.
I am not married because dogs do not marry, but my mom Val is married to my dad Mike. I have lived with mom and dad for 3 Human years. And I never had pups,
As I am sitting in my quiet of�ice thinking on what to say to all my wonderful volunteers at home longing to get back to King, feeling the need to pass along encouraging words of wisdom. Well, I have lots of encouraging words – wisdom, not so much! But I would like to take this time to challenge many of our volunteers with the idea of trying new areas here at King to volunteer once we open back up. I know many have volunteered with the same area/task for many years and that is great! But let us open your minds to something new to try – just once. One never knows till one tries a new task. After hearing from one volunteer helping on a trip and getting back saying he had so much fun on the trip – maybe more volunteers would like to give it a try?
This month, the center spread of the newsletter has volun-teer tasks that I can think of (and maybe there’s couple I have forgotten or don’t know of – let me know) to give our volun-teers just a little sample of what we have here to offer along with a short and sweet description. Let me know if anyone has interest in hearing more about a task and I can send you the full description.

My dad had brothers who were veterans and we wanted to give back. Grandma always thought my job was meant to be, so we also honor her by visiting. I also visit my friends at Cahoots Adult Daycare in Amherst and Portage County Health Care in Stevens Point.
I love pets and ruff scratches are the best! A dog is always at their best when giving love to humans. I always feel warm and loved at King. I am missing my friends so much! Mom says there is a nasty bug crawling around, so we had to suspend our visits! Let me at him: I will eat him up!! We hope you are all car-rying your bug spray so you can stay healthy.

WDVA Continues to Limit Visitors to Wisconsin Veterans Homes
MADISON — In staying with the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control, the Wisconsin Department of Veterans Affairs (WDVA) will continue to limit all medically unnecessary visits to members who reside at the state’s 24-hour skilled nurs-ing facilities for veterans. Below is the full statement of WDVA Secretary Mary Kolar:
“In the interest of the health and welfare of our members and staff, we will continue to limit visitors at our Wisconsin Veterans Homes located in Chippewa Falls, King, and Union Grove, in an effort to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
“At this time, we do not have any diagnosed cases of COVID-19 at our Wisconsin Veterans Homes. I attribute this to the practices we had in place and the protocols we added very early on of which we still adhere to today. Limiting who enters our facilities, temperature screening those who do, and strongly enforcing our infectious disease control proce-dures are the best tools we have to keeping the virus at bay. We will continue to maintain these practices and protocols.
“While the Safer at Home Order is no longer in effect, we will continue to follow the guidance of the Centers of Disease Control for Long-term Care Facilities and Nursing Homes to restrict all visitation to their facilities except for certain compassionate care reasons, such as end-of-life situ-ations. The ease of spread in a long-term care setting and

Once our campus is open back up to volunteers, I will be sending a group email out announcing so. If you do not receive emails, I will personally call you with the news. If there are any volunteers with a new email account since March, please email me your new contact info and I will update your �ile so you can start receiving emails from the Volunteer Of�ice. Thank you for your patience and remember, “We will get through this together”. Terry Heschke, Volunteer Coordinator

the severity of illness that occurs in residents with COVID-19 requires our continued diligence in order to prevent the kind of outbreaks that other nursing facilities have experienced.
“We have about 700 members residing at our Wisconsin Veterans Homes. The residents of these Homes include the population most vulnerable to the coronavirus. Nearly all are over 60 years old and have one or more compromising medical conditions. Others in senior care facilities account for more than one third of the deaths due to COVID-19 in our country.
“Maybe you know one of the members at our Veterans Homes. They are our friends and neighbors who were will-ing to give their lives for us and our country. They deserve every effort to protect them.”
