Puzzles |  | |
Artist: Danielle Brown
Sponsor: Geissler's Supermarket
Hi my name is Puzzles and I have autism. When I was a puppy I had a hard time understanding commands from my master. I couldn t recognize his emotions and I became confused when the children were playing. Sometimes my master would take me on walks and I got scared when I heard cars or other loud noises. If other dogs barked I became frightened and covered my ears or hid under the bed. I loved this one toy, which was a squeaky duck. I could play this game for hours on end, but I couldn t comprehend why my master was annoyed by this toy.
Fortunately, when I was two years old and grew out of my puppy stage, my master brought me to the vet. That same day the veterinarian diagnosed me with autism. My master was so relieved because he had a name for my problem. He started reading books on puppies with autism. Slowly, we learned together how to control it. Today I still have autism, but I can manage it.
I wanted to give a bark to my sponsor. He/She truly wanted to get spread awareness on autism. You can catch me on the Town Green and in Geissler's raising awareness to people about this disorder.

Red RoverArtist: Phyllis Stargardter
Sponsor: Anonymous
Hi my name is Red Rover but my nickname is Red.
My friends and I are having lots of fun swimming, camping, swinging on swings and hanging out with our friends. We also love to read. Books take us to far-away places where we meet people from other cultures.
Join us at the library to search the shelves for our next exciting adventure. You never know where you will go or who you will meet!
I've traveled the world twice over,
Met the famous; saints and sinners,
Poets and artists, kings and queens,
Old stars and hopeful beginners,
I've been where no-one's been before,
Learned secrets from writers and cooks
All with one library ticket
To the wonderful world of books.

Shadow the Lab Shad |  | |
Artist: Alexandra Siskos
Sponsor: Windsor Community Television - WIN-TV
Hello, my name is Shadow and I am the newest designer dog, the Lab-Shad! I am an interesting cross between a Labrador Retriever and an American Shad. I have the body of a dog and the scales of a fish.
I spend most of my life on land, but will swim up fresh rivers to fetch. At home I am a wonderful family dog, playing with my human brothers and sisters. When I socialize, I join a school of Lab-Shad and we are often seen running and playing at dog parks in spring, summer, and autumn. My owner has a hard to finding me in the winter though, because I like to hide in bed under their nice warm blankets! There is virtually no maintenance required when caring for me " I don t shed a hair! And if I won t bring the ball back when we play fetch, just attach the ball to a fishing line and reel me in!
My sponsor Windsor Community Television (Win-TV) named me Shadow and lovingly calls me Shad for short. I am thankful to Win-TV for bringing me into Windsor s community, where I hope my blended background will add to the town s diversity.
