Size Matters

Saturday I attended a picnic that thanked all of the dogs who volunteer their time participating in pet therapy programs.

I even had the chance to meet some new friends, both big and small.

It was entertaining to watch the big dog tails wag and almost knock the food off the picnic tables.

My little dog friends and I were all holding our breath and hoping that the Great Dane would knock the cold cut platter down to our level. Boy, that would be heaven.

Every once in a while I wish I could swap places and be the biggest dog on the block.

I wonder what that would feel like.

As it turns out I am going to have my chance!

Next month my family anticipates a new little arrival. Although it won’t be covered in soft furry hair like me, I hear that these small bundles of joy called babies are quite cuddly.

Once this baby arrives I will no longer be the smallest member of my pack. Yipe!

But I do hear that I will have to learn some big sister skills so that I can welcome the newest addition to our family. Stay tuned for my progress.

A Free Trip

Have you ever wanted to travel to somewhere far, far away or somewhere exotic and exciting?

What if I told you that you could go there for free?

Sounds too good to be true? Well it isn’t!

Pick up a book!

Some of my pet therapy buddies and I participated in a reading program at a local elementary school last month.

The kids circled around and cuddled up with their new furry friends and read us their favorite stories.

One little boy took me on a camping trip.

Another little girl took me on a garden expedition.

It was so relaxing to sit back and listen to the stories and partake in the magical adventures.

So remember if you want to escape to a fascinating place, just pick up and book and you can go wherever you want to! And you can even bring your friend!

I'm Back

Just a quick note to let you know that I’ll be back on my blog!

Sorry for the holdup, but my staff writer has been busily working on her schoolwork.

She assures me she will get back to working as my assistant.

I would do it myself, but I just can’t quite master the necessary fine key-strokes as my paws are too big.

Hopefully you are still eagerly awaiting my blog entries.

That is, if the rain has not washed you away!

In meantime, enjoy all the green the rain has brought us and I’ll be with you soon! ! I have some new exciting adventures and stories to share!
