Storee Wryter and paws4people

Happy Wednesday Everyone,

Today I want to tell you more about therapy dogs and why I decided to write my first book about Kyria Henry and Addie. I didn't know anything about therapy dogs or assitance dogs until I met Kyria and she told me about the paws4peoplefoundation.

I was surprised to learn how smart these dogs are and how much good work they do. Some dogs visit hospitals and nursing homes. Other dogs do home visits with people who are too sick to go out. Some help with grocery shopping and others alert their owners when it's time to take their medicine. In my book, Addie learns to do school visits to help kids learn to read.  What do you think about that? Would you like to have a dog help you learn something? Maybe you already have a very smart dog. If you do, write us a note and tell us all what your pet can do.

To learn more about paws4people click here.There are many organizations that train therapy dogs and I'm going to tell you about one every month. If you know of a therapy dog organization near you send me a link to the website and I'll check it out. If I decide to write about out here I'll send you a free copy of my book, Storee Wryter Gets a Dog.

Blackie is Home and More Good News

Blackie is Home! The clothes in the box hint worked. My neighbor discovered Blackie sound asleep three days later.  He must have had quite an adventure. He was very dirty and his left ear had a little cut on it. A quick trip to the vet and some antibiotic cream on his ear assured everyone that he's Okay.

Here's a tip to keep your indoor cat happy and a link to the site where I found it and many more:
You can now purchase videos especially for cats to watch. I tried one such video on my two Burmese cats & they loved it. The video contained footage of birds & insects. They sat there glued to the television, occasionally taking a swipe at the screen.  Click on Cat World for more tips.

More Good News: Storee Wryter, Kyria Henry, and Addie will be at their first official book signing on  April 23, 2011 at the Franklin Park Arts Center in Purcellville, VA Time: 1:00- 3:00 PM.  Included in the event will be two drawings. One, open to everyone, for a free autographed copy of the book and one, open to teachers, for a free author visit and writing workshop at their school.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Hi! Welcome to my first blog.

My name is Storee Wryter. Yes, that's my name and that's what I do.  I write stories about lots of  things. The book, Storee Wryter Gets a Dog, tells all about how I trained my dog, Addie, to become a therapy dog. My cat, Critique, helped too as you will see when you read the book.

Critique is a very smart cat and I love her a lot. One of the things I love most about her is her independent attitude. When she doesn't like something she scowls and swishes her tail and stalks off in a snit. Sometimes she looks so funny doing it I have to laugh and she doesn't like that at all. However, if  she does likes something she purrs to let me know and we both like that.

Today Critique is concerned. Our neighbor's cat is missing. Blackie is an indoor cat but he got out when our neighbor was taking out the trash. He's been gone all night and his family is very worried. Critique has been staring out the window, her tail swishing like crazy, ever since our neighbor came by to ask us to be on the lookout for Blackie. I bet she's watching  for him and wishing she could do more to help.

I wasn't sure what to do so I searched the Internet for ideas and I found a link on ehow that has some very good suggestions, including this one that I shared with our neighbor. I hope it works and I bet Critique does too.

"Place familiar-smelling items such as T-shirts you've worn and not washed in a cardboard box, then place the box in your yard, as far away from the house as possible. Regularly check it late at night and early in the morning."

Do you have a lost pet story to share? If you do, Critique and I would love to read it.
