Our smallest hoo-man with Scarlet at last year's camp. |
Anyways, I digress.
She says it is all important since she has been working hard to get everything in place for our rescue league's second annual summer camp. Scarlet got to go with mom last year. We didn't - being that Kudzu and I weren't born yet and all. Scarlet says it is good, big fun, and we will get to be there for all the excitement this year.
Scarlet giving and getting some love! |
In addition to mom speaking about responsible ownership and bite prevention, she will be teaching kids how to read a dog's body language and talking to them about mourning the loss of a pet. Each day we will have an area veterinarian visit with us to teach the kids important ways to keep their dogs healthy. The kids get to do crafts and sing songs. We even have a dog trainer that will be there daily to teach the kids how to train their dogs. And each day, we will have a special demonstration from working dogs in our communities. Then on the last day, we will have a parade complete with police cars and fire trucks!

It does sound like a dog-gone good time.
(It better be - after we've sacrificed all our play time with mom for the past few days for it! Just saying...)

ReplyDeleteWe can't wait though to see pictures of you and Kudzu with all the kids.
What a great thing to do. It is so important that human kids learn how to treat us dogs, how to understand us and how to make sure we are healthy.
It all just sounds wonderful.
Have fun
