Another wonderful visit to the Sumter County

The visit was for a Bushnell Public Library
         Read-to-the-Dogs program.

Lots of fun this day...

Today we had the pleasure of meeting a great group of kids who like dogs.
I also think these Country Kids like all sorts of animals.
The children were wonderful and they were full of questions. The little
minds working on overtime from the moment we entered the South
Sumter High School Gymnasium.

We gave the children some info on Therapy dogs, and on how to care for
their pet. After answering their questions we had some time for them to
interact with our dogs.

You will see Lila & Zoie, Al & Peanut, Lynn & Max, Cecil with
Bryson-Whitter and Gale and our dog Sodapop.
Deanna & Bruno had to leave early.
This is a time for fun for the kids as well as for the dogs.

At different times the dogs received "Group Hugs" and I would guess
they received lots of love because I watched each dog go up to the kids
looking for attention.

When it was time to go the kids said their goodbyes to each dog and
yelled out a loud Thank You to us.

For gale & myself this was the third year in a row that we attended this
event and I hope we will be able to return next year.

Many thanks to Lynn, Lila, Deana, Al, Cecil and to my lovely wife Gale for
making this visit such a pleasant one for the children.
