Tonight our doggy will howl at the harvest moon!

Our dog's been napping most of the day to get ready to be up tonight to howl at the full moon tonight, the harvest moon.  It will be a lunar eclipse.

To Foster A Love of Reading, Bring An Animal to the Classroom by Antonia Malchik

My son loves telling stories to our pets!  4 Paws runs a program called Readers of the Pack, which pairs trained dogs and their handlers with schools and libraries with the focus of improving kids' literacy through the simple act of having children read to a calm, non-judgmental dog.  The idea is that many kids, especially those who are struggling with reading, might be more comfortable with dogs than people.

My doggy loves smallbatchdog freeze dried turkey sliders!  My son loves to mix the dry sliders with water, squish it with a fork and doggy is crazy in love with dinner!!!
