    I was watching the Westminster Dog Show on Monday, and my Pennypup was enthralled by the dogs on TV. I really had no idea that dogs could see and comprehend images on TV.

    I remember reading a book about dog intelligence a few years ago. It discussed the fact that dogs can see BBC TV better b/c of the way they shoot footage (resolution, I’m guessing?). The book was written in the late 90’s (I think). I’m guessing HD probably makes it easier for dogs to watch TV. Stella seems to be able to see non-HD stuff better than Argo. I put a Benji movie on Netflix Watch Instantly for her once – it was the first time she’d ever noticed a dog on TV and she got so excited watching Benji run across a field that she fell off the bed. Argo didn’t respond at all. But HD nature docs always get his attention.

    That’s so cool. I always wonder if dogs watch TV. They probably get about as much out of it as I do.

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
