Field Trip

My brother was assigned to do a report on a dog breed.  Guess what kind he picked?!?  ME!!!  Well, Borzoi really, but I was his inspiration.  Today Matthew presented his report and Mr. Santos, his teacher, invited me to come to the school so the class could meet a real live ME... er... um... Borzoi.  I went on a field trip to see my first classroom.

Aloha to Mr. Santos' 3rd - 5th grade class!
We're checking each other out first.

After cruising the classroom,
I've got to butter up the teacher so Matt gets a good grade.

Yawn, yawn. Matt enough talking about me.
When do they pet me?

You watch Matt. I watch you.

Sheesh... I've waited at least 3 minutes now.

Did you say smile?

Oh, good! Question time so I can roam around and meet everyone.
First this pretty girl that smells like... is that Spam?
There were many questions about Borzoi like how long do we live,
how fast do we run, and do we bite.  Mr. Santos asked how Matthew
got me in his family and he knew the Kolchak history as well as the Borzoi info.
Great job Matt!

Where did I go?
So many hands to pet me... dog Heaven!
(and Mom said I did very well)

Nothing but love for this Borzoi boy!
I love children and their smiles... and
the lunch crumbs left on their shirts.

More hugs, same boy.

PHEW!!!!  I'm home at last.
Fifteen minutes in a classroom and I'm exhausted.
I don't know how teachers do it.

Thank you, Mr. Santos, for letting me visit your class.  Thank you children for petting me.
