| Yorkie Therapy Dog and Reading Program I'm so excited. We are having an Indiana Yorkie Meet-up on October 4th at 12:00 at Eagle Creek Park in Indianapolis. (anyone around us is welcome to attend and it will be lots of fun) I got a lady in our area Carol Plye to be our guest speaker. Her Yorkie Lily is a therapy dog and they have started a reading program at their elementary school. She said its amazing how kids who were having trouble reading, now want to read and are doing better because of the reading program. I think this is a way for us to give back. Check into the therapy dog program in your area, Maybe start a reading program at your school. I'm going to get Bella started in the Obedience Training Club then get registered and pass the test for the Therapy Dog Program. Here is the link that was done on the reading program.

| I think that is just wonderful! My friend has a dog that she takes to nursing homes and she said it's wonderful seeing the faces light up when they pet her dog! Dogs can provide so many wonderful gifts!
