Woof woof, Briar speaking. :) I was gone FOREVER! I didn’t see Mom, Dad, or Thistle for two whole weeks!! I missed them a lot. Luckily, I got to spend those two weeks at my doggy mom’s, Ellie’s, house in Cherokee, Iowa. My half-sister, Gweny, and I played and played and played. She’s a full-blooded Golden Retriever and is six months older than me, but I’m bigger.:) Mom took me to the vet’s office to weigh me last Thursday and I gained 5 more pounds in the two weeks we were apart. I weighed 66.5 lbs. and I’m a little over 7 months old. I don’t feel any different, but Mom says I’m quite a bit bigger. She says I have the gait (whatever that means) of a German Shepherd just like my doggy dad. Mom and Dad got home from Italy at 11:30pm and picked me up the next morning at 10:00am. It was so good to see them. I was excited, but a little unsettled that Gweny and Ellie weren’t coming with us. I really like playing with Gweny. We chew up lots of sticks and carry around, as well as play tug ‘o war with, lots of stuffed animals. We love to tear them apart. 😊 I have some pretty wicked scars on my nose. I kept getting cut and the Mitchells kept sending my parents videos of my owies and apologizing for my being maimed (not really sure what that means). Mom and Dad think my scars are cool and so do I. They think it looks like Zoro (whoever that is) marked me or that I was thrown in a briar patch. Parents are so silly. I’m happy to be back home with all the cats, but especially my sister, Thistle. It’s good to be able to snuggle with her again. I’m also excited to see everyone at the library. I’ve missed you!! Please come by and say, “Hi.” Tummy rubbing and ball throwing is always welcome. 😊 Mom’s getting things together and preparing for the summer reading program. Our theme this year is “Paws to Read!” There are lots of fun activities for all ages. Mom says reading is for everyone from tall to small. I’m hoping that some kids will come read to me and maybe even throw the ball. 😊 Sign-ups for the reading program will start at the end of May. All ages are welcome. 😊 Did you know that the Malvern Public Library has a new policy for check outs? It’s true! There are no longer late fees and the length of time for check outs has changed. Books can be checked out for 3 weeks with renewals as long as there are no holds by other patrons. DVDs can be checked out for a week, instead of two days, and you can renew them if there are no holds on them. So, if you had late fees on your account, you no longer do. How cool is that?! Here is what’s happening at the library on a regular basis:
Saturdays (most activities appropriate for school age children and families):
Special Programming:
What activities, classes, or get-togethers of any kind would you like to see the Malvern Public Library provide for our community? Call my Mom, Lisa Formhals, or, Hans Leitner, your assistant librarian, at the library (712-624-8554) to give your input on what activities you’d like to have offered at your library. May you snuggle with your family, Briar, the library puppy.
