FiveRoooooers Posted August 22 Share Posted August 22 (edited) AnnIE has been wanting to do this since forevah and we created an opportunity for her to try! First, in order to prepare, she stopped at the lieberry’s book shed to choose some reading material appropriate for kidlets We practiced reading out loud (hey, it’s trickier than you think ) and finally it was AnnIe’s Day. We read to three kidlets, all of whom possessed varying degrees of attention spans. But all of them loved on AnnIE, who, as it turns out, has indeed found her niche. She could knot have been any better. She snuggled with each little one and then curled up for a nap. One kidlet was Very active and I will say that reading whilst being your dogs advocate is Very interesting. It must have gone well bc the lieberry would like AnnIE to come back.

MerseyGrey Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 My heart is bursting! It looks like we were all keen to know what Annie’s choice of reading material would be. Now we know that she is a romantic (Buddy headed straight for the pottery and ceramics section when we took him to a book store last year. He was eager to learn the art but I had to remind him that he didn’t have any thumbs and that he was the clumsiest dog alive, so pottery was probably not a good match for him!). Did she end up having a calming influence on the hyperactive child? Quote Living with Buddy Molly b. 5 November 2010.

FiveRoooooers Posted September 15 Author Share Posted September 15 Sorry, my bad! Sadly, there is nothing to report. Knot one kidlet, knot one at all Butt, it was knot a total loss as the library staff and a patron spent considerable time with AnnIE in their laps. AnnIE did alright and mom didn't have to read The lieberry direktor is ramping up publicity so hopefully there is a more better turnout next time. AnnIE: Mom? We coulda skipped my sponge bath!
