Having worked in bookstores and libraries for many years, I’ve had the chance to attend a lot of author events. I’ve also naturally gone to events that happen outside of my workplace, because as much as I’d like for every author whose books I enjoy to come to where I work, it’s simply not going [...]

Happy Gotcha Day!
Posted in Lush Puppy, NaBloPoMo on November 2, 2011 | 4 Comments »
We’ve had Lush Puppy for two years now. It’s amazing to see how much he’s changed since we first got him in 2009, but it’s also amazing to realize how much of his sweet personality and disposition have stayed the same since the very first day. He’s still wary of the wood floors on the [...]

Reading Dogs
Posted in libraries, Lush Puppy on March 2, 2011 | 2 Comments »
I have a greyhound. I work in a public library. Greyhounds make excellent therapy dogs. We have therapy dogs come in once a month for kids to read to. So of course, EVERYONE has sent me this article: The dogs who listen to children reading. (And by everyone, I mean three people.) I’ve actually thought [...]
Snow Day!

Or rather, a snowed-in weekend. Winter decided to give the midwest one last snowstorm, hooray. At least this wasn’t my weekend to work, and today the library is closed for the holiday anyway, so it really wasn’t too difficult to deal with–I sat on the sofa with Lush Puppy, drank cocoa, and read books: Zombies [...]

Happy Whelp Day, Lush Puppy! He’s now 4 years old. Whelp Day treats are delicious, it seems.

We’re going to have therapy animals at the library tomorrow. Squee!! Trained therapy animals (we have several dogs, as well as one cat on our roster) hang out in the children’s section with their people for a couple of hours, and kids can sign up for a 20-minute session with the animal. The whole point [...]
Happy Gotcha Day!

What a difference a year makes: This was Lush Puppy the night we got him, one year ago today. He’s way too skinny, and sitting on the (small) kitchen rug like it’s a life raft. There have been a lot of big changes in his life in the past month, and he’s not so sure [...]
Lush Puppy, the Sequel

We’ve had Lush Puppy for *just* shy of seven months, so I figured it was time for another video. He’s a good dog.
