š¾šØ MEET OUR UNOFFICIAL SECURITY TEAM! šØš¾
Every great office needs security⦠and Parkinsonās Boxing has TWO of the best! š¶š¶
They may not be certified therapy dogs, but our furry security guards have an important job: keeping an eye on things, greeting everyone who walks through the door, and providing plenty of tail wags and puppy love. ā¤ļø
Sometimes, taking a few minutes to stop and pet a dog can help reduce stress, bring comfort, brighten your mood, and give you a much needed moment to relax.
And letās be honest⦠itās pretty hard to have a bad day when you have a happy pup looking up at you! š¾
They donāt carry badges.
They donāt carry radios.
They probably wouldnāt pass a security training course.
But they take their job VERY seriously.
Our security team is always on duty ā protecting the office from stress, bad moods, and unauthorized belly rubs! š¶

š§ Parkinson's Facts Friday š„
Parkinson's disease can begin 10ā20 years before the classic movement symptoms, like tremors, ever appear.
Early signs often include a loss of smell, constipation, sleep disturbances, anxiety, or depression, symptoms that are often overlooked or attributed to something else.
The more we know about Parkinson's disease, the sooner people can seek evaluation, begin treatment, and make lifestyle changes that can improve their quality of life.
Knowledge is power. Help us spread awareness by sharing this postāyou never know who might benefit from learning these early warning signs.
š Together, we can educate, support, and help people fight back against Parkinson's disease.
