Shandy is the dog who launched 3,000 young readers. In 2003 she inspired me to start SitStayRead in Chicago to help at-risk children learn to read. Shandy was the first SSR dog and she loved to work with kids.
After adopting her from the Anti-Cruelty Society in 1993, Shandy went to work with me every day for nearly 17 years. Her spirit is my guiding star and this blog is named in her honor. Though it no longer focuses on SSR, I hope you enjoy the posts.

"And the crowd goes wild!"
Years ago I read a story about training for doggy freestyle, and they suggested using cues you could sort of whisper through your clenched, smiling teeth. So Oskar learned to do the "breakfast dance" -- "Cheerios" means clockwise, and "donut" for counter-clockwise!
Enjoy!
I LOVE this!! Great editing MaryEllen...I love those office training days, and so does Jack :)
Why am I not surprised that the Pomeranian caught on first?!? (Sorry Bandit...)
