Sunday Randomness #168 : Read Banned Books all year-round!

 This was a recent program activity at my library for banned books week.  It was thought-provoking.  For more on banned books please visit the following sites: https://www.ala.org/advocacy/bbooks/frequentlychallengedbooks/decade2019 ,  http://www.banned-books.org.uk/index.html, and  https://bannedbooksweek.org/  

There's current controversy from the Central York school board and their book banning that was recently rescinded. Search for yourself to read more about the ban.

Sunday Randomness #407 : Wet dog trying to dry off and tree climbing

She thought this fallen tree made the perfect outlook.

 

Sunday Randomness #71 : Some library displays and a question from doormats...

We've started some new displays at the library and we have a revolving sign-up every two weeks.  I've gotten to do two displays so far and I made up the interim signage.  See if you can guess which display we put up in between displays for a day or two.  My first display I just looked for any items that had "devil" in the title somewhere.  I just thought it would be funny with the summer we've been experiencing.  The second display was just an excuse to try to find cookbooks with men on the cover.  It was a lot harder than I thought it would be.  I would have guessed that there were more women cookbook authors but women also grace the cover of cookbooks more often than men.  Men generally have fewer self-portraits and more food on the cover of their books than women.

 And the last picture was when we were out and about.  I just want to know if the neighbors fur babies have ever met each other and how civil was the interaction...

Sunday Randomness #82 : Share?!? A tempting tale of a Smarties Lolly

https://www.amazon.com/Ce-Candy-Inc-Smarties-Piece/dp/B000CC1HTE/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=smarties+lollies+wrapped&qid=1624836851&s=grocery&sr=1-10 

Please share?

Daisy recently found a Smarties Lolly at a local gas station and got one, fondly reminiscing how she used to like them.  She found she still does like them.  The puppy thought it looked good too and started with a gentle paw nudge, asking Daisy to share.  

Come on, just one little lick?

The nudge turned to a paw pull on Daisy's elbow which Daisy stoically ignored.

Oh, what's that out the window? (Distraction tactic-didn't work.)

Please, pretty please? (with the beseeching puppy eyes)

Maybe if I paw at the belly...that's a more tender part of dog and human anatomy...(testing sensitivity-maybe Daisy would drop the treat if threatened with disembowelment)

MOM!  Make her share!  (Sheer desperation.) 

Resolution?  We did a quick training session with puppy and she got appropriate dog treats that ultimately may have been healthier for even Daisy to eat than the Smarties Lolly.  Pup knows a lot-dog sit-ups (sit-down-sit), circle in either direction, paw, high-five, nose, cuddles, center, still working on side for heel, wait, stay, crawl, and some of her dog toys.  We tell her to "bring it" with a name and a fair amount of the time she brings the right toy like wubba, ball, fleecy, rope, moose, or gator.

Spring time and ducks

Mica found ducks in a row at a local park.
