Boomer's upcoming visits

Hey kids,

Join us this Thursday (7/24) at the Kemp Memorial Library to listen to Mommy read a couple of my favorite stories.  One is sure to be a big hit with the kids.  The second story is my favorite, though.  It's written especially for therapy dogs.  We'll end our visit by personalizing bookmarks for you to take home.

You know that's my job right?  Yes, dogs can have jobs.  Some work with police, some work with rescue, some work on farms and others are on TV.  Not me.  I cheer people up and help kids improve their reading skills. I average 3 visits a month between our visits to the library, Ridgeview Institute and other community events.  You know I'm working when you see me strutting around with my special scarf on.  Mommy recently demonstrated to a group of kids exactly how I go into work mode once I see my scarf.  I know I'm off duty when Mommy removes the scarf.  Then, I can go play like a wild dog if I want.  I have to be on my best behavior when I'm working.  Sometimes it's hard.  I am a dog, after all.

Hope you've been reading this summer.  The sign-up book is out for READing dog visits through December.  Normally, we are there 1st and 3rd Wednesdays, but Mommy had to adjust some of the weeks due to her work schedule.  Hope you understand.

Pawfully yours,

Boomer
