Dutch Shepherd Forum

Thalie and I had our first reading to dogs program tonight at the local library. It was so cute! For 15 minutes each child read to Thalie. Thalie pretty much snoozed through it but the kids had fun. One of the kids baby sisters was all over Thalie, chewing her, pulling her ear and kind of stinky but Thalie just enjoyed the whole thing.

how sweet!! Try to get some pics of the kids reading to Thalie.

Awwww, how good of Thalie to put up with stinky kids and all. I bet she loved all the attention!

I would assume stinky kids are the best kind - to dogs at least.

Lucky she didn't roll in that one! I am glad she enjoyed it!

Thalie is so tolerant! Glad the debut went so well.
Did she dress up special for this important event, or just go with her fur coat?

That's sweet. My Laekenois just got his Therapy dog status. I don't know if we are going to any reading with dogs, but we will visit the hospital.

Alot of cuddles!!! Scratches, kisses and lovin' ! There is an assisted living facility we go to once a week and that is the jackpot! they make homemade cookies especially for Thalie. Ill tell Thalie to save some for Lvil but Sadie may steal them

oooh nice, Ivil likes home made cookies... Since Sadie will steal them, Ivil will have to find her own reading group

Tonights reading went well, no stinkys!! Two of the children were out sick so I chatted with the library staff. I kept getting asked " I see shepherd.. and ...what else?" What else? Dutch The ears are a giveaway but the brindle throws everyone. They asked us to also read in May !! Woohoo, she even got a cookie !!

Wa-hoo!!

awesome!!

Now she's a star, she's going to want designer sun glasses! Good work Thalie!

Thalie, the read-a-booky get-a-cooky dog Coolest job ever according to Ivil
