Programs @ Kemp Library coming week of June 3rd

My mommy and I will be at the Kemp library for our normal R.E.A.D session on Wednesday and back on Thursday morning for a special presentation.  Mommy is going to share some of my favorite stories, talk about dog safety (especially in the summertime) and then kids will get to do a craft activity.   Oh, and I'll get lots of petting out of the deal.

I don't know what the craft activity is, but she did mention something about it being suitable to count for one of the four projects required by students who participate in the school district's Dig into Reading program.  I think she plans to have a popsicle party for her students and I'll get to be the guest of honor. And boy, do I love popsicles!

My current doghouse is under contract.  All I know is that means I get to stay home now during the day and strangers won't be wandering through my doghouse anymore.  I wasn't too pleased at having to go to school every day for nearly three weeks either.  Mommy said we have one more hurdle to clear before my doghouse would be considered SOLD.  We'll know next week if that hurdle has been cleared.

Meanwhile, my new doghouse is almost done!  We stopped by this evening and saw the painters still at work.  Kitchen cabinets are finally here, too!  Mommy and Daddy are hoping that everything will be finished in time to move from this house to the new one.  I'll get to go to camp for a few days while everything gets packed and moved.

Enjoy your summer and keep on READing!

Pawfully yours,
Boomer

READ Alert!

Mommy scheduled our summer reading sessions with Miss Carmella at the library.  Can you believe June is already filled and only a couple of slots are left for July?????  We won't be back again until after Labor Day.

Seems I will be getting a new doghouse after all.  Mommy said something about moving in mid-July, but if my current doghouse sells sooner than that, we'll be at grandma's for the summer.  She lives far away, so you'll only see me when it's time to READ.

Pawfully yours,

Boomer

Come R.E.A.D. with me!

If you want to read to me before school lets out, you need to call Miss Carmella NOW to sign up for a time?  The only date left with any slots available is April 17th.  The library takes a break from programming in May, so we won't be R.E.A.D.ing in May.

Mommy is working with Miss Carmella on our summer reading schedule.  She's thinking about scheduling even more  visits since she and Daddy decided to postpone summer vacation.  She said I'd still go to camp for a few nights this summer, but why would I go to camp if they're not going on a trip?  Mommy said something about a new doghouse.

What do you think that means?

What's new in Boomer's library?

Santa Paws brought Boomer treats, toys and some books for his READing library.

Happy Howlidays from Boomer!

Hope Santa Paws is good to y'all this year!

Keep on READing over the holidays and we'll
READ with you again in mid-January.

XOXO,

Boomer

A new title for Boomer's library



Charlie the Ranch Dog by Ree Drummond

Hi kids!

My mommy picked up this picture book at the bookstore last week.  She said it's a really good book, but of course Charlie - while cute - wasn't as cute as me (whew!).  I can't wait for one of you to READ it to me.

Yes, in case you were wondering, most of the books in my library are about dogs.  I have a few about cats, cheetahs, hamsters and some crazy pigeon who thinks he can drive a bus.

I'd like to thank my new friends Kaylee and Elizabeth (and their mommy) for rescheduling this week's READ session.  My mommy was asked to change her Open House night from Thursday to tonight and she couldn't READ with me and get to her job on time.   I really do like my cookies, so I am thankful my mommy has a job, even though I'd much rather she stay home with me!

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
