PAWS for Reading Team of the Month: Jerry Siegel and Gremlin
My name is Gremlin. I found my forever home on September 14, 2013.
I was found wandering the streets of Adam's County in the summer of
2013. I was there for a few weeks. Since nobody seemed to want me, I
was transferred to a shelter in Golden. I was adopted by a nice family,
but the dog they had didn’t like me at all, so I was returned to the shelter.
There I waited, still hoping to find a real forever family.
To help me find a forever family, I was put on Channel Nine News on
September 13, 2013. I did my best for my forever family to notice me. It
worked! The next day they came and took me home. My name at the
time was “Champ”. My forever family's daughter thought that I looked
like a gremlin; Gremlin became my new name. She thought I would
make a good therapy dog. I did too, and that has been my calling. Just
ask me if I want to go to work, and you will see me ready any time of day
or night.
I love all the boys and girls at the library, especially when they give me treats! I also love going to the
Medical Center of the Rockies and Poudre Valley Hospital. It makes me so happy to cheer the patients up
and help them feel better.
Jerry, my forever family Dad, taught music to elementary students and retired in 2005 after 39 years!
He plays keyboard and accordion and is still very active in the music community. Jerry & his wife moved to
Colorado in 2005. They have 2 grown children. In addition, I have a canine brother & sister who round out
my forever family!

Did you know that running your finger
under the words in a book while you
read to your kids can significantly
increase their pre-literacy skills and help
them learn to read when they get to
school? That’s so easy!
Talk to your kids about print while you
read. Why are those words bigger than
the other ones? Is the speaker excited,
happy, scared, mad? What does the
exclamation point mean? When do we
use a question mark?
