Week Five: Tuesday!
This morning was spent with a lot of time in the shelter socializing with cats and smallies. We visited many of the cat rooms. We also all got to meet and pet the ferret, Piper. Piper was so happy to see everyone and receive all the loving.
We were also joined this morning by Buster the bed bug dog. Buster showed us how impressive his strong nose is. He even searched out for bedbugs in the classroom.
This afternoon was a bit rainy, so we headed inside. We played some games inside and talked about dog behavior. We all had fun acting out what happy, sad, and playful dogs look like.
We had a great day, we will have some more fun tomorrow as well!

Week 5: Monday
We cannot believe we are already in week five!!
Today was like most Mondays in that we started with a name game. We all got pretty giggly about our adjectives and movements.
We then were lucky to meet with Nancy. She outlined for us the mission behind the humane society. We also discovered that humans and animals both need the same things to live and thrive.
We finished off the morning with a tour of the humane society building. We were able to meet the cats and start to get a feel for what cats we like. While half of us were in the cat rooms, the other half were decorating our water bottles.
We spent the afternoon with some reptiles and a hedge hog! We were all very interested in the snakes and the reptiles. We also really liked the tortoise.
We finished the day with some games and animal trivia questions.
The parents were also given a tour this afternoon. Looks like this week is going to be just as fun as all the other weeks!

Week Four: FRIDAY!!
We started the day with a presentation about feral cats from Jackie. Jackie is the feline coordinator with the shelter. After her presentation we made our own shelters for feral cats. Three of us got to bring the shelters home to feral cats in our neighborhood. To make these shelters, we just cut a hole in a Styrofoam box and then we decorated them. Then when the girls bring them home they will put hay in them to keep them warm.
Next, we watched a presentation from the Police Dogs from Burlington. We were all very impressed with the tracking abilities of Capone. We learned all the jobs that police dogs have as well.
After lunch, we played a game of jeopardy. The counselors were amazed at all the girls knew! Some of our "hard questions" weren't even challenging for these smarties!
We finished off the day with tattoos and some fun games in the yard.
