smells, smells and more smells

Hi Everyone! 

Zenny writing today! 

What did you do last week?  While we are waiting to get back to the library for story hour, my mother is taking me to go tracking.  Do you know what that is?  Well, its really fun.  My mother takes me to a big field along with a friend and her dog.   The people make a trail in the grass field and drop cookies along the way for us to find.  Its kind of like following breadcrumbs or a treasure hunt!  Then, after walking, turning and walking some more, you get to find the big prize - usually its a cool thing like an old glove filled with cookies, a little toy truck, something cool!  If I get really good at this I might be able to get a ribbon for it! 

We go to a really cool place called Horse Barn Hill at UCONN College.  Its an awesome place and when you are done you get to visit with the cows and play in really cool mud puddles,.... check it out.....

see you soon,..................

Hi kidsLucy here. I had a great visit at the library today! We read about frogs, do you like frogs? My mother likes them a lot, we have a lot of pretend frogs all over our house and have even seen some in our yard!

The kids made frog hats - check it out! Here we are,....

Remember, the Zenny and Lucy Story Hour, where you get to read books to us or listen to others read starts on July 5th at 11:00!  We will take turns coming to listen to you read.  Sign up at the library! 

We are BACK!!!

Hi Everyone!
Zenny here,....So sorry you haven't heard from me for a while.  My mother, she is the one who knows how to use the computer,... has been kind of busy and did not have time to talk about what we are doing.  But, we are BACK!!!! 

I love you Hunter!

The library is great fun as usual.  Last week we spent a long time with one our good friend Hunter.  He is so gentle and soft when he visits with us, we could stay there all day long! 

My sister Lucy, she has been busy doing agility.  Do you know what that is?   Its when dogs get to run around a cool obstacle course and have lots of fun doing it!  Sometimes you even get ribbons.  Lucy is going to tell you all about it in her own post!

 And, did you hear?  I went to college also!  I went to this really nice place in Storrs, CT.  Its called UCONN!  Its a really cool place, they have horses, cows, a big hill to play on, a really nice library and ICE CREAM!!!!  I got to visit with the all of the college students who were studying hard AND I met the UCONN mascott!  Do you know what a mascott is?  Its an animal that the school uses to show how cool they are!  UCONN has a dog called a husky named Jonathan for their mascott.  Husky dogs pull sleds in the winter time.

 

Some man from the newspaper took our picture.  How fun!

story hour with Zenny

Hi Kids,
thanks for sharing time with me at story hour this week!  We had a great time, didn't we?  Its a good thing you all came because story hour will be on a little break but we will be back soon with new stories, and my sister Lucy! 

Spring is coming, can you tell?  my mother is all happy because the daffodils are coming up.  Do you know what a daffodil flower is?  Its yellow, I know that, and whatever it is, it makes my mother very happy!

See you soon,...

Sigh,  see you soon!

2 labrador are better then one and library friends are the best!

Hi Everyone

Woo Hoo, this is Lucy here and I am now an official Therapy Dog and will be visiting the library just like Zenny!  Zenny is my big brother and I keep hearing about how fun it is at the library and how many friends he gets to meet!

today I met lots of new friends and I really enjoyed it.  I think they did to!  I got to show off a lot of my tricks to the kids, "chin, nails, down, go to sleep" and I have more!  My brother Zenny got to visit after me. 

I will be back soon and so will Zenny,.  I can't wait for another visit,....



Ricky, Lucy and Hunter!
Last year Hunter was a little afraid of dogs so Zenny worked really hard at not being to scary or excited.  It worked!  Today Hunter came right over to visit us, both Lucy and Zenny.   So much fun!

  



Allison, Lucy and Lilah!





Story Hour is BACK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello Kids!!!
Story Hour is back, yeh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  If you are looking for me, right now I am visiting the library on Tuesday morning for the 10:00 story hour.  I am usually there until 11:00 or after so if you can't make story hour you can still visit with me!  (PS I will NOT be at the library the week of 3/21 because my mother is busy and I cannot drive!)

I got to visit with a lot of nice kids today.  And, I saw my friend Nick!  (we forgot to take a picture!) Check out my friends with their funny hats.  Can you guess what they are????      Okay, I'll tell you, its St. Patricks Day and they made funny green hats to wear - ha ha!

cute,.....



my friends with their hats!





Penguins, Easter Baskets and me, Zenny!

Story Hour Starts Soon!

Hey Kids!
I have missed story hour with you!  But a little birdie told me its starting up soon. 

Here is what I have been doing this winter   I received my certificate to be an official R.E.A.D. dog.  That stands for Reading Education Assistance Dog!  It means, that I get to wear a special little tag AND I get to help you with your reading!  I do that by listening really carefully, showing my appreciation by giving big wet sloppy kisses AND I also point on the pictures on the book pages!  We did some of this last summer at the library and now I have also joined the Reading Program at a middle school in Hartford, CT. 

Last week they  had a little graduation program for the kids.  They improved so much on their reading that they had a celebration!  Here I am with some of my new friends,... see you soon at the library!
