On Memorial Day, we remember those soldiers that gave the ultimate sacrifice for their country, and for us, the people of the United States of America. There is also the less obvious soldier, one who risks and gives their life for our freedom: the canine. The role of the military dog has advanced and become much more sophisticated and trained for. "Sentry dogs" work on short leash and give warning by growling or barking. "Scout/Patrol dogs" are trained to work in silence in the detection of snipers, ambushes, and other enemy forces. "Explosives dogs" were most recently introduced in the War on Terrorism. Their superior sense of smell detects packaged explosives hidden on a person, in a vehicle, or roadside location. Please remember 4-pawed heroes and their handlers.

Our hearts were saddened today as we said goodbye to Miss Martha. She was known best by children in the community through the Seneca Falls Library "Reading with Miss Martha" program. Since 2011, this gentle canine has nurtured reading skills, taught kindness to animals, and provided reassuring love to young children. Thank you to her owner Karen for sharing Miss Martha and allowing her to touch so many lives. 💕🌈 💕

Happy Easter! The Easter Bunny stopped by and brought us baskets, got a check up, and is hopping healthy! Watch out this weekend for your baskets! 🐰
