Love From Me...

2011 is the first year for The Love From Me Project and Mom is participating with a special piece of art. You can read more about it here. It was inspired by the 2009 (guess which one Mom did!, hint, hint, Golden Retriever) and 2010 Paws For Charity Art Book Project. Paws For Charity raised $5,500 for breast cancer charity.

Wordy Wednesday.

Getting Ready.

My human mom is getting ready for the real thing! All I can say is she will look really sharp in her new, crisp, red shirt. We have officially become Paws For Tales volunteers for Poudre School District. Did I tell you that the "tailor" stopped by the house to fit me for my Therapy Dog Vest that will be made to fit just me ... I am hoping my tail does not make my butt look big!
Mom heads for training at Dunn Elementary School tomorrow. I think, from what I am hearing is that she will learn the ropes, come home and tell me, then each and every Wednesday we get to have K-3rd graders read to me. I am not aloud to correct them, just listen. I am a very good listener.

All Dressed Up & Ready To Go.

What do you think? My human mom searched all the local thrift shops here with no luck on finding me a cool bow tie. This is what she came home with for me to wear on my Paws For Tails interview. Yep, flies! She could not even find a tie with ducks on it. Wish me luck!

First Impression.

My human mom and I have our "final" Paws For Tails school program interview with 3 "interviewers" next Wednesday. Mom is thinking a bow tie is the ticket for a great 1st impression.
My thought is a firm paw shake with my big 'ol Moose paw and the Red Bow Tie. What do you think?

H2O Fun.

It's vacation time here in Colorado, but here I am with my ball in Montana! As you know, my first three years were spent in a breeding kennel.... no swimming for me. My human dad is really teaching me the ropes when it comes to water (h20). I know I should love it, but I am still a little nervous seeing my ball all by itself just floating out there. Our trip was fun to Montana and I met lots of relatives that petted me almost 24 hours a day.... my life is grand and so were they!
Tomorrow my human mom brings me to my first Canine Companion Good Citizen Class, boy is she excited. In a few weeks I might be a certified Therapy Dog and start volunteering for Paws For Tales, more on that later. I will just happily go along with it and see what happens.
Tail Wags to All & Happy Swimming.

Waiting.

My human mom is anxiously awaiting to find out who her "pen pal" will be in the "Letter Revival Festival" . Since I am not much of a writer I will just wait to hear. I hope she writes her new friend all about me too! Well, keep checking back for updates on how class is going! My first "Good Citizen" class is this week.... it is the beginning of my road to becoming a Therapy Dog! Can't you just feel the EXCITEMENT in my photo below!!! My mom met the "chair sitting" doggie while we attended DockDogs last weekend over in Vail, he looks like he is really paying attention to the next competitor (good for him)!

Snail Mail... The Lost Art.

My human mom loves to write and send cards. I would sign them by paw if she would let me someday. Check out this "Letter Revival Festival"(until June 14) if you like receiving interesting mail and don't mind sending a letter ...this is for you! Click on the link to learn more.

Tail Wags to All & wish me luck as I venture into the world of Therapy Dogs! Stay Tuned Friends.
