Catching up with Zenny!

Hi, its Zenny here.  Do you celebrate Thanksgiving?  If so, I hope you had a lot of good times, fun with your family and lots of turkey! 

I have been VERY busy and my mother is having a little trouble keeping up with my blog.  So here's a bunch of stuff all at once.  Its been very fun. 
First, the library is very busy these days getting ready for the holidays and for SANTA!!!! Did you know Santa is going to be at the library again this year?  And I'll be there also!  We hope to see you on Dec 14th - I'm hoping that I will be able to whisper in Santa's ear again,..... 

Second, my sister Lucy and I went to visit a nice school in Hartford.  Last year I went to this school and helped with their reading program and we are going to do that again this year also.  Lucy and I will be taking turns visiting the kids and joining in with their reading. 

And, more college visits are coming up!  I will get to go visit the girls at St. Joseph's College in West Hartford and then see everyone at the library at UCONN College also.  I will be a very busy boy and will be taking big long naps between things....

 Here I am at the school in Hartford.  Hanging out in the Reading Room where we were visiting with the teachers.  I look a little sad because it was very hot in there!

More stuff to come, and lots more pictures!

The Leaves are Coming the Leaves are Coming!

Hi Kids, Zenny here.  Did you know, its Fall?  and you know what happens then?  leaves fall to the ground and you get to play in them after your mom or dad get them all in a big pile for you, yeh!!!  Lucy and I love to play in the leaves, I'll bet my mommy will take a picture of that pretty soon!

Library visiting was fun this week.  The big project after story hour was a nice leaf collection on paper.  And, I got to read a book with one of my very special friends.

Climbing Lucy!

hi, Its Lucy, I want a turn to talk to you also!  Remember a few weeks ago when I told you I went to a show with lots and lots of other labradors???  Well some nice lady took some pictures,... it really is fun!
This is an AFrame, see how high it is?  I have to climb up one side and then down another - but I can't jump over the yellow part!

A Frame (Mom running really fast, look at her hair!)
This, doesn't it look familar?  This is called a See Saw - it moves when you start on one end and goes down when you get to the other end, its just like the see saw you play on in the parks but there is only one dog on it at a time!

See Saw (Mom helping me, my "Aunt" is in the background watching!  She owns my yellow siter Cameo!)

Beanie Babies, Story Hour and Exercise!

Beanie Babies !!
Hi Kids - Zenny here.  It was my turn to go to the library this week.  I brought a present, actually lots of presents.  I had Beanie Babies at home, do you know what those are?  Little cute stuffed animals that you can carry around with you.  Well for some reason I had LOTS of them at home.  The library, they do really cool displays and I'm hoping that I might see one or two of them in one of those displays soon!  They will be so much happier at the library then here at home.  They don't get played with much here,....
My favorite of the  moment,...
Then my mother too me for some exercise.  Mom and I haven't been on a together hike in a long long time,..... boy was it fun.  The water was cold though - very exciting!  We labradors like the cool fall weather, its makes us very happy!
Okay kids, we will see you in a couple of weeks.  We have company at the house this weekend, can't wait! maybe there will be pictures!!!

Lucy and Priya share a visit,......

its a candy corn!
Hi Kids
Moms got a little time this afternoon so she's getting this posting out right away!!

what fun we had.  Lucy and Zenny have a house guest this week, her name is Priya and she is a chihauhau!!!  She is much smaller then us, we are labradors.  Priya is a puppy and weighs only 2lbs!!  when she is full grown she will weigh about 4lbs!  We are all grown up, Zenny and I and we weigh about 70lbs!  Wow, big difference, right? 

ahhhhh
Anyway, Priya is very cute, but very fast and a little busy for us right now.  But she fit right in at the library and got to meet everyone just like Lucy.  Lucy had her own visit first though - check it out

 And Miss Priya, well here she is!

Zenny goes to College and Lucy gets to Jump!

Hi Everyone
This week, Zenny went to college!  Well, he went to college to visit students who are studying very very hard.  They really enjoy Zenny and other therapy dogs who come to visit.  Many of the kids have dogs at home that they miss a lot so they get a little Zenny love for a while.
I Love the attention!

Sleep at last, its SO tiring being a therapy dog!

Just Lucy! 
My sister Lucy, well she went to play in agility this week.  They have a really cool show called the Labrador Nationals where lots and lots of labradors show up to show off all of their talents!  Its really fun.  Lucy was there with 2 of her sisters.  It was lots of fun and Lucy got a ribbon also! 
Lucy and sister Cameo, they like to relax in chairs, isn't that silly?

Lucy and sister Peppermint!
And then, well, its just been a busy week for my sister Lucy.  On the weekend she went far away and met some horses, did a lot of jumping and came home with more ribbons!  Isn't she lucky??  And she got to visit with some of her best friends,.....
Mr. Bill, Lola, Lucy, Alice and Bear

We are BACK!!!!!!!

Hi Kids!
Lucy and Zenny here.  Sorry we haven't been around much but our mother had some things going on.  But, we are back!  And we are so happy about it, especially our mother!  We missed the library and all of our friends. 
We have had a pretty busy summer - we are learning still about following people who are lost so that we can find them, and Lucy (thats me!) is still doing agility.  Thats where I get to run around a field and jump over things and climb over things.  Its fun! 

We hope to see everyone, old friends and new! Thanks for waiting for us to come back,.............
Lucy waiting for lunch!



Zenny wants to know where all the kids are!  He's waiting under the library desk,...
