Small brag: Kali makes the local paper!
On Mon, 14 Jul 2003 18:16:53 -0400 Krishur whittled these words:
The Reading to Rover program started out so well! The press showed up to cover it and Kali's picture is in the paper! I was misquoted--but that's ok. See it here (no pictures though): http://www.thejournalnews.com/weekly...t0710mkdo.html That's great. A little favorable dog publicity for a change. Diane Blackman |

Wonderful Kris and Kali!
OK, Kris, now that you've overcome your reticence: what did you observe? Did the kids seem more confident? Dogs' non-judgmental presence is reputed to overcome some children's blocks. Yaknow, if I were picking one of our shelter dogs for a similar program, it would be one of the Pits. They're all so attentive. Just because humans are slow and can't smell or hear very well doesn't mean they don't possess a primitive type of intelligence. |

It wasn't a true therapy program--with goals to be reached or current
progress monitored. The kids came with a parent and the parent helped them read the book--just a fun thing. Kristen "Chris Williams" wrote in message ... Wonderful Kris and Kali!
