  Introduction

  Stephen Bardy, Executive Director

  Imagine a book that is filled with stories and poems written by kids who love animals. Writing gives us the chance to use our imagination, to be creative, to explore our deepest thoughts and feelings, and to discover the gifts and talents we have inside.

  Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando is proud to present original works that tell how the young authors are feeling in their lives and thinking about the world around them. The writings and artwork are truly from the heart and strive to portray the hands-on experiences with shelter pets and knowledge gained from educational speakers during our weeklong Shelter Friends Summer Camps. You will not find these imaginative and creative ideas anywhere else.

  Cathy Houde and Diane Anderson, in collaboration with Jolly Time Books authors Karen S. McGowan and Dennis E. McGowan, headed up this endeavor. Our campers contributed a wide variety of works, from humorous to inspiring to deeply personal, to share their fun experiences.

  Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando educates, shelters, places, and heals pets and their families with compassionate, responsible care maintained to the highest professional standards. We create more caring communities by promoting happier, healthier pets and their families.

  I hope you enjoy the stories and poems that our summer camp participants have put together for you. I encourage you to support our continuing positive community outreach programs.

  Your support of Pet Alliance of Greater Orlando goes directly to helping pets in need. Whether it is finding a dog or cat a new forever home, providing low cost vet services, or helping to prevent pet homelessness through our spay/neuter program, Pet Alliance’s goal is to have happier and healthier pets in Central Florida.

  Please make a gift today.

  Poem About Schedule

  First we start our day

  With Sara and Lenai

  Then we color and play

  Say Hey to the cats

  And sup to the dog

  Teach what’s wrong

  And teach them what’s right

  Then have lunch and watch a movie

  And make something groovy

  Play a game, find a champ

  All before the end of camp

  Nova never full of hate

  Your little eyes

  Deuce Forrester

  Pet Alliance is awesome.

  Did you know that they let dogs from the shelter come in the room!

  You also wash dogs and ther are different jobs to do to clean the dog.

  You shoud come.

  One dog named Anber comes normally every year to camp.

  Plus, they give you a different cup every year.

  Ethan Devore

  cat area

  and clean up play area

  Andrew Carnes

  Age 10, 5th Grade

  I learned a lot about animals.

  I enjoyed playing with the pets.

  One of the cats reminded me of my kitten, Shadow.

  The dog’s fur was as soft as a pillow.

  I learned the best way to take care of your pet is to give it love.

  I didn’t realize that when you pull up the skin of a cat’s neck it calms them down.

  Samantha Howard

  Age 10, 5th Grade

  A way to help us is to adopt us!
