Wow What Creativity

I am finally getting a chance to see some of the new blogs created by my coworkers and I just want to say WOW. It is so great seeing another side of someone you have known for years....or thought you did. Very fun assignment and it will be so helpful to our patrons, for us to know what kind of services they are currently using or might want to learn. Thanks Snoi.

Lulu Arrives

Yesterday afternoon a hush fell over my family....when we all saw Lulu for the first time. She is a beauty. My sister T and her husband B couldn't wait to be puppy parents. So what do you suppose the other 'kids' had to say? Something like "meeeoooooowwww". I'm in love with puppy jiggle, have you ever seen it? I wonder, if the biological clock keeps ticking what we'll be seeing next? Alpaca? Bunnies? Chickies? I'll be an Aunt to anything. Smoootchie. Meow.
