April 24 & 25 2013

I was just going with Vickie for

a drive.  I like to sit in the car and I am

happy to go with her, even if we don't get

to stop and play. 

 

I thought Wednesday was going to

just be a "Ride Along" day but

after getting some supplies for the

kennel, we decided to see if we could

find a different way to get to the lake.



We drove around for a while and finally

found a trail that came to this rickety

old bridge thing.  We crossed the bridge

carefully and then made our way to the lake.



 The pelicans are migrating now and there

were about 100 of them just bobbing

up and down in the lake.

 One day we will show you the lake,

it is on the other side of this hill,

but we didn't get any good pictures of it

today cause I was busy swimming

and Vickie was busy fighting off

the gnats.  It was so pretty though, that

she didn't mind it much.

 

Seems there are a lot of little flying insects

this year.  Or maybe it was because

we were standing by a bunch of dead fish

drying in the sun.

Thursday we were off to the school

so the kids could read to me.

we were greeted by all this really cool

chalk artwork the kids had done.

 Vickie says when she was young

the principal would have a fit if they

did chalk drawings all over the school,

but this principal encouraged it.

I tried helping Andrea with her

words, but it was pretty exhausting so

I just closed my eyes and fell asleep.

 

Today while we were there, the head of

United Way came and gave me and Vickie

a special Tutor pin to wear.  They told me

I was doing a great job.

They put my pin on a cool bandanna that they

made just for me.  Well, they made Toby one

too.   Isn't that so neat.  I am a Tutor.

 Now you may think that I would

have to keep my eyes on the book all

the time, but what is important is that

I make myself completely available

for the child to pet me while reading.

So if I should fall asleep

It is really ok.

 



I really have it tough,

Don't I.
