We keep asking Momma to teach us to read but she can't get the book out of Brice's mouth.

Dawgs & cats! Do you all get along. I live with a big dawg (part huskey) and 2 cats and we're all best friends! Of course the cats are bigger than me, but I'm still the boss!

Cool! You guys are super good huskies. Did you teach anybody how to read? I can read the dog food bag and any treat bags. Also I can read my name on boxes because I always know if there is something good inside. Mom says I can smell it, but I can read!

What a fun outing! It is sad that so many people in this country do not know how to read.
