Yes, we are still R.E.A.D.ing

A quick note from Boomer's Mom -

Frequent READers with the Cobb County Public Library dogs may have noticed a change in our (the handlers') shirts over the past few weeks.  Several teams decided to join CAREing Paws, which still a part of the Reading Education Assistance Dogs program sponsored by Intermountain Therapy Animals.  We wanted to work with a group based closer to home (Newnan instead of Central Florida) and have the opportunity to do more animal assisted therapy work.  Boomer and I had been visting my grandmother's nursing home in Monroe on a semi-regular basis, but will now be able to go with other teams for support and training in our local community.

Boomer and I still R.E.A.D. at the Kemp Memorial Library in Marietta across from Due West Methodist Church.  We are there the first and third Wednesdays of the month from 4-5 p.m.

In case you missed us in August, we took the month of August off from our READing activities so I could concentrate on getting the new school year underway at my local elementary school.  We look forward to READing with our friends again in early September.

Kind regards,
Teresa Kent
