New pictures and a colouring page

Just waiting to hear about the second print run being printed so they can be shipped out to Butler/ Sunstar toothbrushes for their upcoming promotion.  These pictures feature Socks the cat (kitten) (gray with the white socks on) and another colouring page.

Not too much to add this time, so it must be time for more cute kitten pictures and another colouring page.

Today I visited the "Tooth Trolley program" at Vancouver Community College which is a great service and program for the community.  Disadvantaged children and children in need of dental assessments and treatment are brought to Vancouver Community College on the "Tooth Trolley" bus where the dental assisting students and dental hygiene students as well as some staff and volunteers help assess and educate the children about dental care.  Besides a basic exam, the children will receive some additional treatment at the clinic including a dental polish, fluoride application and dental care instructions.  In some circumstances, an available dentist may provide some dental work.  If the parents attend with their children, then the parents are also given oral health instructions and advice.   The children and their parents receive a care package to take home including a toothbrush and a prize, and now a copy of Cuddles the Cat Goes to the Dentist.  Some of the students signed a wonderful poster for me which I will put on display.  As you can tell from the poster, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the Tooth Trolley program at V.C.C.

The recent big news is that Vancouver Community College will be distributing 250 copies of Cuddles the Cat Goes to the Dentist to the children who attend their "Tooth Trolley" program hosted by the dental department at Vancouver Community College.  On top of that - the Butler toothbrush company plans to purchase 600 copies of the book to distribute as a promotional item.
In celebration of those 2 pieces of news, I give you a couple more cute kitten pictures and another coloring page....

I thought I would take the time today to add a few more cute kitten pictures and another colouring page.  Enjoy.
I have about 10 colouring pages and hundreds of cute kitten pictures.  I'm sure I'll end up posting all of the colouring pages.... but not likely all of the kitten photos.

I visited Over the Rainbow Preschool in Coquitlam today to read 25 pre-school children the story of Cuddles the Cat Goes to the Dentist and to teach them about their teeth and dental care.  Everyone seemed to enjoy it and I enjoyed listening to their "stories" that were supposed to have been "questions".   Everyone in the preschool class - actually 2 classes - got a toothbrush and a prize - just like Bob did at the end of the book.

I think this blog will have two main themes - cats and dentistry.  Normally that would make no sense at all, but given my book is called Cuddles the Cat Goes to the Dentist, I think it makes perfect sense.

This entry is dedicated to gratuitous pictures of cute kittens.
Enjoy.
