For a Love Like No Other





Dogs! This month at the public library in Aboyne you can see this display celebrating our canine companions.  It is Dog Bite Prevention Month but more importantly I wanted to share the informative posters I found online and the images that encourage adopting from shelters and rescues.


Of course the library's assortment of books helped bring the display to life, along with lots of "props" from home (with Willow's permission, of course!).  




I particularly wanted to share the Dogs in Need of Space poster as so many dog walkers don't seem to understand that there are dogs that don't associate well with other dogs.  That's okay, they just need some space and the DINOS poster explains this very well. 













For Dog Bite Prevention Month, this poster is a great reminder that children and dogs don't always mix well!  Never leave a young child alone with a dog, even your own. 



And here's How NOT to Greet a Dog, with fun little cartoons pointing out how terrifying meeting a human can be!  


Finally, under the table is Fauler, with a poster that informs children that those woofs and growls, along with other body language, are the dog's way of telling you to back off and stop being so darn scary!

Please click on the images below to read the posters' text:

Spring?


Last Friday we were whacked with snow! Thick, heavy, wet stuff... it was one of the worst storms of the year, leaving a thick, lumpy ice on the roads that made it feel like all 4 tires were flat on the car!


Today: we have robins!!! LOTS of them! All of a sudden, and it sounds SO GOOD! I love robins...


I'm so late in writing here, I have to apologize... The weekend did see all the machine sewing get finished and the rats' teeth have been made! Also, the table has been set up... a 6' table is kinda small. I'm going to have to leave behind the swans and the blue dragon, so if you wanted to meet a swan or Pool, let me know! Otherwise they won't be coming along!


I would like to share this exceptional rat that Tammi found on eBay and shared with me: this rat is by artist Julie Mansergh and my heart went pitter-pat when I saw it! Wow! Unfortunately Julie's hands are full, but she says perhaps one day she will make another ratty...
