Read to Rover Program


Jade started her volunteering at the Laurel Library Branch for their Read to Rover program as part of the Pet's on Wheels volunteer. This was her first experience volunteering, she did quite well. Basically the Read to Rover program, is a program where kids come up to the dogs and read them a book. This helps young kids improve on their reading skills, without any judgement from the therapy dogs. Also the pets like the attention. 

 Jade met a couple of dogs and even a very tame cat during her visit to the library. The volunteers at the library are really friendly, some are new volunteers and some are more experienced. It was nice to meet some new people in the area. 

 Overall, Jade was interested in what was going on and as to why she was in a building full of books. She was also curious as to why a kid was reading her a book while sitting on my lap. This experience will get her out more and socialized with different types of people of all ages and sizes...Oh and also more doggy friends too~!

Oatmeal, Peanut Butter, Coconut Oil and Banana Dog Treats

Before the year ended I finished all the dog treats mama had made for me a couple of weeks ago. So she tried a new recipe but added a few things. Mama ran out of the baby oatmeal from the last batch. So she used regular Quaker oats and used the food processor to grind it finely. Anyways, we hope you enjoy making these treats as much as we did.  Ingredients:  1 1/4 cup Oatmeal 1/4 cup peanut butter 3 tablespoon Coconut Oil 1 medium banana Directions:  Grind up oatmeal. Place in large bowl, mix in banana, coconut oil, and peanut butter.  Create small balls and and then flatten them with a spoon Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Bake for 15-20 minutes. When done, leave in oven to cool. This makes the treats firm up.

I'm a Pumpkin

Hi, I'm Jade, I'm a puppy. Well, I'm not really a puppy anymore at 5 years old, but I will always be my mama's puppy girl. I am a mix of Yorkie and Pomeranian.  So every year, mama dresses me up for Halloween. This year I will be rotating one of my costumes to be a pumpkin again. It wasn't easy getting me to keep the pumpkin hat on but mama was able to get a photo of me in my costume before I decided to take it off my head. I loves taking walks and playing with my rope. We take weekend strolls around the neighborhood with my family. I have met several new dogs along the way. I am very friendly and playful pup. If you give me food I will love you forever, what dog wouldn't?  I also spends time with my mama working out in the mornings. I would consider myself her  workout buddy that she can always depend on. I love to run around in the basement while she does her routine. I love having her around to keep me company. We even do selfies after for fu...

The Dog Walker Company Harness

Mama got me this new harness for our walks. It's so comfy and is not complicated to put on, like some harnesses. I just need to be calm when it is being placed on me when we go walking. The dog harness was bought from TJ Max in size small, since I am a tiny little girl. It's normally $12 online but we got it for $6.99. It is considered to be 'cute and in control'. Description : Durable Material Reflector Accents Easy-Clean Fabric Breathable Mesh Fabric Dual Steel Loop Attachments  The harness has Velcro to wrap around my body and also a snap to secure it in place. I like that there is two loop attachments to hold onto my leash when I walk. When my humans tug on me, it doesn't hurt.
