Blog Entry 1 of 8 Jewel's Journal
Mom (Gail) took me to an evaluation in February, 2007. On our way there, I tipped my head real cute and asked, "What's an evaluation?" She said Denver Pet Partners was going to see if I can pass the temperament test for therapy dogs. No sweat! I was registered as a therapy dog a few weeks later, and Mom got me a uniform. My little green vest shows people that I've got an important job to do when I'm wearing it. Watch my blog for future entries about how the kids and I are doing!

I need to learn to read FAST!

Contributed by: Jewel Underfoot Kirkegaard   on 8/15/2008

I'm no husky! This rainy day was a back yard bummer with the family gone. My big sister Phoebe and I could care less if, "the lawn really needs the moisture." Every chance we got, we charged at the neighbor dogs at the fence. It gets the blood flowing and warms us up.We make sure those dogs stay in their yard. Scare them, I do!

Gail (my mom) has been making calls. She's telling me about a new job I'll begin this Fall, working with children. There's this thing called The Bridge Project. Kids there after school need tutoring in reading, and I'm gonna do it! Only catch is, I haven't learned to read yet myself, so I haven't figured out how it's gonna happen. She says I'll pick it up quickly.

The kids are going to have to teach me, 'cause I still don't know the arfabet. (Leave me alone now about how I write this blog)

Bookmark Lakewood YourHub, and watch my blog for future entries about my progress. Mom's name is Gail Kirkegaard. She has a blog here too, called A Therapy Dog's Journal.

Look up on your right and read my profile.

Jewel
