Paws For Reading

This is a program Raychel and Jolene love!!
These special dogs bring their owners, a huge pillow

and wait to be read to. After we signed up at the

library, we met the dogs at the school where the

summer reading program will be and before it

starts the kids get to read to a dog for 15 minutes.

It is so cute to see these dogs with the kids.

Raychel read to Charlie, a boxer, who is only 2 years old.

Charlie listen, but was so interested in all the kids that walked by.
Soon he laid down to listen better. It's nice to read to "someone"
who doesn't correct them, tell them to read louder, faster, slower,
but just listen!! Raychel of course wants to do it every week!!

Jolene read to Shadow, a black lad, who is so passive.
He would look at the pages then fall asleep. It was great

to hear her read. She has loved reading to her "dog"
Max and wishes our family dog Cami would lay still

long enough to listen to at least one page!!
