Tails for reading

We made it to the library after soccer one Saturday and were able to take advantage of their Tails for Reading program.  They had two volunteer therapy dogs to choose from so Katie read to one while Will spent some time with the other one.  Since Will couldn't quite read on his own, the volunteer read to him and the dog.  You can see, the dog was quite interested in the story.  It was about a dog with bad breath.

These kinds of programs are extra beneficial for someone like Katie who is a bit nervous around bigger dogs.  These therapy dogs are trained very well to be quite low-key.  I also have a feeling that they are taken on a monster of a hike before they come to the library because they always look worn out. :)

Katie got a coloring page and a sticker from her dog, and Will got to give his treats using a little toy shovel (great idea....).
