May 27th - volunteer luncheon

Timber and Rissa accompanied me to the MDIH 2010 volunteer luncheon. We had a nice lunch at the Bar Harbor Club, were serenaded by a barber shop quartet and then I gave the closing remarks with a few of my experiences visiting with the dogs. The girls got certificates. There were 5 dogs there - all visit folks at MDIH or BBV - I tried to get Boomer to "sing" along with the quartet - almost had him howling along.

Sunday May 23

It's warm out and time to swim! The girlz went swimming - hard to get them out of the water when it's time to go home. Ginger and Jillian keep running back and jumping in as we head to the car. Still haven't gotten a good shot of all 4 together. Ginger quickly learned "Go for a ride"

5/20 - school

Timber saw her regular line up of kids (minus Aurora who was absent) One more reading day for these kids and then our celebration.

Thursday May 6th

The celebration for Island Dog creative writing contest, sponsored by the Dog Scouts, was tonight. A very nice time for the kids and adults. All 94 entries displayed on the wall (picture). Pizza, a yummy cake, games and certificates for all the kids. The 2 boys from Tremont won for the "buddy" category - they wanted their picture with Rissa(to bad she had her eyes closed!). Jack with his certificate. A very successful community service project!!
