Kiefer's visit to the R.I. School for the Deaf!!!!

Today Mommy, Alex, Nikki and I took a road trip to Rhode Island. In R.I. they have a very cool school for kids who are just as special as me. The kids I met today are deaf . It was really awesome!

Mommy read my book to the class and my new friend Susan used sign language to tell the story at the same time. Here are some video of Mommy and Susan working together.

As you can see I was very interested in what they had to say.

I got to meet all the kids. I got lots of pets.

The kids talked about there favorite parts of the book. They asked lots of questions. They even made me a super great poster.

I got to spend a little time with some of the kids at the end of the day. I was very tired and was a little sleepy too. Those head scratches felt sooo good.

I even got a new toy. The class knew how much I liked to tug so they gave me a moose tug toy. I had to try it out to make sure it tugged the right way. I know I have to be a very good boy when I am in school. But when I got home.....

I gave that toy a really good tug. However Theresina is not a good sharer. I guess that is o.k. for now. Mom will teach her how to share just like she taught me.

I even got to be in a blog for the Providence Journal I am even going to be in the newspaper tomorrow. I will share that story later.
Here is the link to the blog.

Mom made a New Years Resolution to use her exercise equipment more. Now she didn't say she would use it only that it would get used.

Here she is having me pull her on her bike...

I thought the purpose of a bike was to use the pedals

I do have to admit I did have fun!

Here is her idea of how an exercise ball should be used.

(sorry about the sideways video)

And last her yoga strap is good for this..

I can't wait to see what we play with next!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Desi the BRAVE

Hey everyone, sorry My Mom hasn't blogged in a loooong time. She has been very busy. Today she asked if Desi could use the Blog to tell the world something. I said if it helps him get his own home go for it. Don't get me wrong he is a great dog I just don't like sharing my frisbee time with him. (he likes to chase me)

To all my friends and especially anyone looking for the greatest friend ever!! I have been very busy working on being a brave dog. My bio states that I am a special needs dog. I want to let people know that what I need is a patient and loving family. In return I will give you more love then you can imagine. My foster Mom and I had a long talk the other day. I was wondering why nobody was asking about me. She told me that once I could show how much I have worked on being brave my forever family would find me.

Yesterday Gavin came to visit my foster family. He was kinda scary at first but as the day went on I realized that he wasn't so scary. All the other dogs really like him so he must be o.k.

He was at the house this morning and I decided to be as brave as I could and I walked up to him and let him pet me. I thought my foster Mom would cry.

It wasn't so bad, in fact I went back again and this time he had treats.

Then I had to take a break and then I went back for some more pets!!!!

So to the world I am ready for a forever family to help me become an even braver boy

go to www.nebcr.org and read more about me

Love,
Desi (the Desirable) and the BRAVE

First Book Signing

Today everyone including Kiefer went to a place called the Farmers Market. They set up a booth and had a huge poster to display.

While they were there, they talked to a lot of people about Mommy's book "My Dog Kiefer".

They talked about NEBCR and all of us dogs at home. Some people thought that having 6 dogs was crazy, that was until they heard about the two foster dogs living here too.

By the way the last time I blogged I was not happy with the foster dog who was here. I wanted him to find a family of his own and guess what he did!!!! However, now there are two dogs who need to find homes. Anyway enough about me.

People were very interested in the book and wanted to know more about how mommy adopted a deaf dog. This lead mommy to talk about how awesome NEBCR is and she got $3 in donations.

I don't think $3 is anything to brag about.

Mommy reminded me that it is $3 more dollars than we started with.

Mommy also raved about Kiefer being so well behaved today. He was letting all the children pet him and any adult who wanted too. He gave out some kisses and only jumped on people a few times.

If Kiefer was anything like me I would just avoid everyone, then there would be no jumping, but that's just me.

Here's Kiefer hanging out waiting for kids to come pet him.

Next week the family is off to another book signing, this time at a bank. The really big poster will be on display all week and the donation jar will be there too.

I hope they can raise a few more dollars.

Anyway thats enough about Kiefer as for me I will be taking a class about frisbees soon, so that blog will be the best, as Kiefer doesn't do frisbees.

Digby

So I have this dog living in my house. He never even asked me if he could stay for awhile.He just showed up at home with Mom on Sunday night. Everyone is calling him Digby.

For the first few days he was downstairs. We could smell him and we could hear him, but not see him. After a few days Mom brought him upstairs but he was hidden in the dining room. Then all of a sudden he has a space of his own where he can come out of his crate and see all of us.

He is very shy. He really likes his crate I think he feels safe in there.

Here he is with Nikki. He is starting to trust all the people in the house.

He gets all excited when the girls get home from school

Here is Shawnee and Kiefer saying hello

Kiefer really wants to be his friend

Here is a video of Kiefer and Digby being all silly through the gate

I have been told he is only staying for awhile. He has to go to the vet, get noodled and work on being less afraid of stuff. Mom said I also had to share that Digby now loves to go for walks. He goes a couple times a day and each time he gets braver and braver. Today he went on a walk with Cisco. He liked being out with another dog. So now you all know about Digby in a couple of weeks he will be looking for a home of his own. When that times comes I will be counting on all of you to help find him a home. My house is already filled.
