We have been so busy greeting people this summer.

Read-to-a-dog program at Sunbury Community Library

This was so much fun for Lucy and me.  For 6 weeks we had little human people read to us and give us hugs and petting.  Everyone in Sunbury Community Library was so nice to us.  Thank you.

Fish-with-a-Cop event sponsored by the Delaware Police Department

This program was new this year and was so much fun for Lucy and me.  There were over 100 kids ages 6 -13 taking part, and there were at least 100 adults present.  Everyone was so nice and friendly.  We got our photos taken many times, and we met lots of Daddy's friends and former co-workers.  Thank you, Delaware Police Department for inviting us and showing us a good time.

To my surprise there were Delaware Police Officers and Firemen working together to make a great experience for all the kids that showed up.  I kept looking at that water, but Mommy and Daddy kept a firm grip on our leads and would not let us go swimming.  But I guess we were there for the kids after all.

Trinity United Methodist Church Vacation Bible School

Lucy and I had a great time at the church visiting all the children.  All week the Vacation Bible School staff told the children there were to be special guests Friday, the last day of  Bible School.  The special guests, of course, were Lucy and me.  The kids were so happy to meet us and, again, we were treated to lots of hugs and pets.  We went from classroom to classroom saying"HI" to everyone and telling the children all about Newfoundlands and Therapy Dogs.  Thank you, Trinity, for the great welcome and for all the love and hugs.

Thank you, Mommy and Daddy, for giving us such a great summer with all the little humans.

This is a photo of my sister Lucy (on the left) and me resting and getting ready for a special event with children.  Please note that I am sitting back relaxing and looking cool while Lucy sits with an ornery look on her face.  She is always looking for trouble and trying to drive Mommy crazy.

We may have worked hard entertaining all our new human friends, but it was really worth the time and effort.  This is how we sleep between events.  We call this the "Newfie Butterfly Effect."
