Timber went to school today after a week break for school vacation. A READer dog team in training came to observe (just the human - Eileen) she hopes to complete her training and start at the Pemetic school in SWH. Next week I think 2 of her kids will get books.

We had our monthly READ session in Somesville today. 5 kiddos. Peter got his book for reading to Timber/Cirra 10 chapters/books. He is a Harry Potter fan and is finishing the third book so "Timber" thought he deserved the 4th book as he reward for great reading!

Thursday 2/11




Rissa went to Tremont today for group reading... Cirra came too so more kids could read to the dogs. K thru 8th grade all came (so the entire school...) One class with me and one with Cirra and we switched 4 times. Rissa (and me...) heard "Big Dog and Little Dog go Sailing" 4 times! Rissa loves the kids and is so tolerant of them all surrounding her. It is just amazing to watch her interact with them all. At 11.5 she is going strong with no signs of slowing down yet - except for her graying muzzle...

Sunday 2/7




We had a very nice Down East Dog Scout meeting. Dr Hanks from Kindred Spirit vet came and answered questions on vaccinations/food and any other questions folks had. Very nice man and if I didn't like my vets I would switch to him. All the troop members got patches (photo) for raising money and donating the pet oxygen masks last year. Also - the troop got a President's Gold Award and I got an individual one for volunteer service. Second year in a row!!
