Lately, I have been reading a lot. Why, you ask? Well, I am enrolled in the R.E.A.D. program. The program helps young readers improve their literacy skills. Today we had a practice run at a library to show me the ropes and my office. Although now I come to think of it I didn’t see any ropes, just rows, and rows of books. And people sitting at long tables. They were reading quietly until I showed up, then all heads turned my way and people started to talk about my brindle stripes and such. I guess I was a bit of a distraction. Maybe that’s why I will have my own office. Gotta go, I haven’t finished my book yet and I want to know how it ends.

Benji, you are pawsome! It was suggested that Lucy become a reading dog, but she wouldn’t be able to pass the prerequisite good citizenship test (yet). Guess she has to study some more.

WOL, I am constantly studying. Luckily on Tuesday I had a whole day of play at the doggie day care center. Today we have an outing with my CCI buddies and they will come to my house to play. On Sunday I can go to agility training. Play and work should always be carefully balanced. Benji

It’s true, sometimes at work you find good friends … to play with them;
With my previous dog, Yako, we repeated the same training course five years in a row … Yako told me it was a good place to socialize and make friends!!

I see more service dogs turn up in more places now. What a wonderful development!

It is. Benji is a therapy dog which is different from a service dog. A service dog is dedicated to one person and assists this person with his/ her disability while a therapy dog is trained to provide comfort and affection to people in nursing homes, therapy settings, etc. A service dog has more rights and there are complaints that people buy fake IDs so that they can take their dog to places they normally couldn’t.

I often wish that the rules of where dogs can go would relax…and then some bonehead ruins everything with their unruly, even dangerous, dog.
