How to relieve exam stress in Vancouver

[Nicky, Riley & Boris]

A new program in UBC in Vancouver had my sister with my nephew- Doodle, Cobi with the students (Cobi is in the photo, he's a chocolate F1b and eight years old).  There were lots of other doodles there too and the students loved having the dogs visit.

That was just too cute....loved it. I wish I had a bunch of doodles at work to distress me, oh wait, I have one and that is just about enough :0)

aww thats cute!

[Laurie, Fudge, and Vern]

Wow....I wish they would have had that program when I was in school. I would have been the first one to sign up :) Cobi is beautiful....I love those Chocolate F1b Doodles!!

Great story!  Cobi is a doll!

How cute! It certainly would have made exams less stressful for me if there'd been a doodle there to pet!

The first time I glanced at this discussion from my phone I did not see the video. A must see. Look at all that fluff!

I work at a college and can attest to many reunions of college students and their dogs.  A real tear-jerker moment. I see it over and over again.

What sticks in the back of my mind is Anna and Achilles blog of her son returning home for Thanksgiving and the reactions of Achilles. I know, my sons ( away at college ) and Spud go bonkers with each other every time they are reunited.

Last week, I met a 9 year old ALD coming to visit.

I'm certainly going to suggest this at my university.

oh how I could have used a doodle when I was in University. They sure do make everything seem so much better.

No kidding Sherri, it would have saved me at least ten pounds of stress pizza eating as my thesis deadline approached!

I will say that when I am preparing for a big exam, before i leave I spend 20 min or so snuggling and loving my dood. He does have a calming effect and I leave with a smile. I am certain those Doodle Kisses bring me luck!!

I tried twice to get the university down the street interested in this so I could take Rosco but nobody responded :( I'm sure it would have been a success too!  Sent them articles like this one, still nothing.

What a great idea!   Your nephew Cobi is beautiful!! Or should I say "handsome?" LOL
