A very successfully READ session at the Somesville library. 2 dogs/owners and 4-5 kids a piece. Jack got a book "Burt Dow" for reading 10 books to the dogs and Faith got her book "A Kids best friend" Timber pawtographed each!

The library is re vamping the kids reading room and all the books are in storage! We quickly got a mother to bring some books and all went fine. Can you imagine - come read to the dogs - we have no books! I usually tote a bag of books but due to all the snow - I left the extra bag at home so I would only need to make one trip from the car over the ice to the library.

Not much dog activities this past week. School vacation for kids. Have READer dog at Somesville library and pet therapy scheduled this week. Jill is enjoying her home here - she loves the girls. Runs with Timber and Rissa - doesn't retrieve. Likes to chew ice and toys and magazines. Still researching her potential inherited cardiac enzyme disorder.

Friday 2/13



Timber is dreaming of the time she can swim again... this ice and snow is getting to be a drag! Timber had the honors today of making the pet therapy visits at the hospital and retirement village since Rissa went to school yesterday. We saw a full load of people at the hospital and our regulars plus a new man at the village. Timber even got a little blessing from a holy man! She made the rounds in the exercise room as we left - the folks there stop their program so we can make our way around the circle... more pats and love.

Jillian certainly enjoyed her evaluation today to see if she was kid friendly. She acted just like Rissa and loved the attention from the kids. They loved her too - we decided Jill has softer ears than Rissa. The kids read to both dogs in our group reading session at Tremont today. Jill is a delight and a joy to take anywhere - just like Rissa and Timber.

Not a great snapshot but... Jill attended the dog scout meeting with Timber and Rissa. All fine - she handled dogs, strange people and chaos no problem. That's Bri and Gracie the Iggys.

Thursday 2/5

School for Timber! 2 of her regular kids were sick so she had 2 stand ins - which she gave book marks to! Next week is group reading with Rissa - I am going to take Jill in to meet some kids to see how she is with children - I imagine this will be her last evaluation so Nancy B can make a decision on her new home. Will be bittersweet seeing her go... she fits in and is no problem at all here.
