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.

Neutering Stitch

Stitch had his pre-operative consultation on Thursday September 6th, 2018. They took his blood and the results turned out normal. Although during his checkup they found out that he has a hot spot on this neck. So that meant a couple of days without his collar and some spray antibiotics to help the hot spot heal. He was scheduled today for his operation. Drop off was between 8:00 - 9:00am, no food the night before starting at 8:00pm on Wednesday. Only thing he was allowed to have was water. Stitch was so happy going to the vet and thinking it was another day for a checkup. Ohh was he in for a surprise that morning... I got a call in the early afternoon, telling me his procedure went well and that he was going to be observed for the next couple of hours and that we needed to pick him up between 4:00 - 6:00 pm. Hubby went to pick him up after work. He wasn't the happy little boy he was that morning, still a little groggy and has to take some pills for his recovery. Also, he had to...
