BBV May 18th

Pet therapy visit at Birch Bay Village. They always love to see the dogs.

Bangor Discovery Museum May 11

Jillian and I were invited to the Bangor Children's Discovery Museum to talk about READer dogs and have some kids read to us that attended the Raising Readers event there. We had fun and Jill was so PATIENT with the kids. I even made her a RR scarf out of an old tote bag with the RR logo!

Here are some pics from the final at Tremont School Idita Read-a-route program the dog scouts did. The program was a huge success. 70% of the kids read over the 1100 minute/mile goal and rec'd paw print medals. All kids got a book and certificate. We had a fabulous cake too. Many parents attended the program too.

Getting ready for the final Idita read a route

Certificates we are giving the kids with a book. More tomorrow on the final!

Nice honor

Jillian was mentioned today in the obit of a woman we visited at Birch Bay Village. How very special our visits made some of her last days brighter.

Blue Team Idita read with Jillian

Jillian got to go to school today and read with some of the blue team top readers. The kids were excited and even the older kids loved reading to her. Here are some of my favorite pics.
