That Dog - SOL Day 14

By -


Untitled



There's one dog in the neighborhood that drives my dogs insane. I honestly have almost no idea why.


"That Dog" is a beautiful, well-trained, calm Australian Shepherd.

"That Dog" never wanders the neighborhood on her own. She is always under the calm control of a sweet adult (sometimes mom; sometimes dad).

"That Dog" hasn't interacted with my dogs in years! My dogs have the freedom of a large backyard, and get all their running and exercise there.



None of that matters. When "That Dog" is walking the street in front of our house, there is nothing we can do to quiet our barkers. The only other time they bark like that is when a stranger is physically walking to our front door.


What is going through the minds of my nutty little canines? Is "That Dog" really a Cyberdog in disguise? Someday I will discover why they hate "That Dog" so much. For now, I just shake my head and wait for the barkpocalypse to pass.

I'm so excited to be part of the blog tour for Just Harriet - by Elana K. Arnold! ABOUT THE BOOK (From the publisher) From the award-winning author of A Boy Called Bat comes a new young middle grade series in the tradition of Ramona and Clementine, starring an unforgettable girl named Harriet. There are a few things you should know about Harriet Wermer: She just finished third grade. She has a perfect cat named Matzo Ball. She doesn’t always tell the truth. She is very happy to be spending summer vacation away from home and her mom and dad and all the wonderful things she had been planning all year. Okay, maybe that last one isn’t entirely the truth. Of course, there’s nothing Harriet doesn’t like about Marble Island, the small island off the coast of California where her Nanu runs a cozy little bed and breakfast. And nobody doesn’t love Moneypenny, Nanu’s old basset hound. But Harriet doesn’t like the fact that Dad made this decision without even asking her. When Harriet arrives

Parent Book Club - Guest Post

Welcome, my friends, to my first ever GUEST POST! My fabulous school librarian (aka @ReaderRoberts ) decided to hold a parent's book club this year, to give parents ideas for getting kids reading. This past week she held the inaugural session, with a  "summer reading"  focus. Let us know what you think!  Parent Book Club - Summer Reading Sometimes your best ideas come to you in a flash.  That is how it was with the parents’ book club.  One afternoon I was sharing a title with a parent volunteer and she ended up checking the book out of the library. Nothing unusual. This happens frequently to all of us when we booktalk.  What was different was that when the parent returned the book she made the remark that I should share this book with everyone. You have probably guessed by now that the book was Wonder by R.J. Palacio. Through the year I have shared many other great titles –many of them discovered through my PLN on Twitter. The Only and Only Ivan , The
