I AM THE PACK LEADER!

January 23, 2009 Filed Under: Argo the wonder dog, STELLA

This morning, I walked 158 (Stella is 10lbs lighter than we thought she was) pounds of dog. By myself.

How, you may ask, can 140 pounds of me, walk 158 pounds of them, especially when dogs are twice as strong per pound?

Answer:

I. AM. THE. PACK. LEADER.

That is all.

    I’ll never be a pack leader. Dogs can sense fear and I fear dogs.

    That’s because you rock!

    Was it a good walk? Did your neighbors say “Oh look, there goes Superwoman?”

    JMS – Thanks! Alpha Dog. I like it.

    Courtney – I appreciate your enthusiasm.

    Mickey – You should meet Argo. People who were bit by dogs as kids have no fear of Argo. He’s huge and wolfy, but ever so kind. He’d get you over your fear. Stella, however, would bark at you.

    HH- My neighbors were probably muttering – there’s that lady who doesn’t mow her lawn in perfectly straight lines.

    MG – Thanks! Lucydog seems like she’s a good boss, at least!

    Wendy – I can’t imagine how hard it must be to walk a horse!

    Noelle – Hope the walk went well!

It’s National Library Week. As a child, the libr It’s National Library Week. As a child, the library was my precious refuge. I took full advantage of the ability to read anything I wanted to while I was in the hallowed halls of a town library. And when I was overwhelmed by classroom life, spending lunch in the school library reading the encyclopedias was my favorite form of self-care. After my first novel came out, a childhood friend sent me a picture (first photo) from my hometown library. I don’t have the right words to explain the pride I feel to know that my own books are on the same shelves that held the books that taught me about storytelling when I was a child. And last year, right before the shutdown, when I popped in to the San Francisco Public Library, I got a little misty-eyed when I found a copy of STAY, with Argo’s beautiful face looking up at me (second photo). It is a powerful thing for our communities to have public libraries and the support of librarians who work so hard to cultivate safe spaces and free access to information and literature. Happy National Library Week to all of you. #nationallibraryweek
