Reading To Lower Division

Last week we had a great change of pace: we got to visit the lower division library!  I was going to read the story, but Coach decided that he was going to be a wiggle worm and was just to wiggly to let be alone by my side, so the lower division librarian Kathleen Edwards read the stories to the kindergarten classes while Coach and I listened with the children.

Kathleen reads a story in her rocking chair while Coach gnaws  his nylabone beside her in coat.

I must say though, I am not an idiot.  I was prepared for something like this: the 10 am twisties. I had brought a nylabone and his linus blanket with us.  He finally settled into the nylabone and was very calm. 

Shot of Coach with his bone and the children looking up at Kathleen.

The kids were thrilled to see him.  Even with him given them the brush off and chewing his toy, they were still excited to be in the same room with him, such is his celebrity.

Coach in front of the rocking chair with a sassy look on his face.

Sometimes I worry that it gives him a big head.

A more subdued closeup of Coach, he's feeling more relaxed after some bone chewing.

Mostly, though, he was a good boy.  Because he was wiggly, we didn't allow any petting.  Instead we gave out our brand new Coach storytime stickers!

The sticker that we gave out: it has a closeup of Coach with storytime with Coach printed over his head and a small Southeastern Guide Dog logo on it.

They were a big hit with everyone!
