I’ve had a lot of fun in the School, being apart of student learning in the Joey’s community. I have a safe place in 5 Blue. If I’m over there I need 5 minutes to myself to have a rest in my lounge chair in the corner that has my initial ‘B’ above it. Sometimes I like to lay down next to well behaved, hard working students.

In Maths Groups I’ve had much love and attention from students: I often come over to them if they’re working hard if they're sitting on the floor, reading aloud.

I like being patted kindly in the School Playground: 1 “paw” per student ONLY. I’ve watched, sniffed students while they're quietly working, sniffing to see ‘if there are any other dogs around like me.’ 

If you are feeling sad or emotional you come to me in 5 Blue ‘the closest to Year 6 the furthest from the School Hall’ - you may pat, I may lick you and if you're lucky enough, Ms Weaver (my owner), may invite you to take me for a walk.

My favourite game: ‘Catch the Laser’ - I try and catch a tiny glare or laser coming off a watch or if Ms Weaver might bring a toy laser (used for Cats) to School, it’s so funny - I’ll bet you’ll laugh.
