Week Four: Tuesday

Today was a speaker filled day for our 10-12 year old girls.  We started with a visit from Joann. We all became animal investigators.  We now take our jobs very seriously and we know what tie-out dogs need.  We also learned that when we see an animal we think might need help, we should go to an adult, and not confront an owner by ourselves.

In the middle of the day, we met Buster.  Buster is a bed-bug sniffing dog.  We were all very impressed with his skill.  We were also slightly grossed out from seeing the bugs!!  Our favorite part may have been at the end when we got to pet Buster.

Our last speaker for the day was Dr. Nate.  He is a Qi Veterinarian.  He let us taste herbs and he also showed us how to do acupuncture on dogs.  Otis was a trooper and seemed to enjoy the treatment. We learned how the different herbs affect dogs' bodies and how they can be used as medicine.

We finished the day with some games of Zip Zap and up, down, look.  Below are some pictures from the day:
