It was so fun to see the dogs this week as they were all trimmed with some sort of green accessory.Still, I don't think this is something I'm going to get involved with.

Reading to puppies
The tax assistance that I'm a part of on Tuesdays has the Library room reserved from 10:30 to 3:30. Since our appointments are scheduled from 11:00 to 3:00 that is usually sufficient. However, there are days like this week when we go over our allotted time. The group that follows us does something called "Read to your Puppy". Some children who get all shy and tongue-tied when their teacher or parent wants to hear them read, don't seem to have the same problem when reading to a pet such as a lovable dog. And a dog will actually act like he's listening, especially if you put inflection in your voice.

My dog has been listening to me for almost 11 years now. If he could talk, I wonder what his favorite book would be? i do like the idea of animal therapy for humans of all ages. The concept that someone will listen and not talk back or interupt is very theraputic. Perry would claim that is what shrinks do (without much personal experience on his part).
ReplyDeleteLooks interesting. Never thought about reading to a dog. More power to them if it works for the kids!
