WHAT IS LIBRARY 2.0?

I like Sara Houghton’s definition of Library 2.0 ;
"Library 2.0 simply means making your library's space
(virtual and physical) more interactive, collaborative, and
driven by community needs."

Are you Tigger? We could make our home
more interactive if you wanted to collaborate.

LEARNING NEW TRICKS BEFORE I AM AN OLD DOG

I have been "nosing around the Internet"
and "diggin up some new fun stuff. "

Technorati is an Internet search engine for searching blogs by looking at tags that authors have placed on their blogs. Try to find a lost dog without dog tags? Impossible. Try to find an Internet blog that is not tagged. I created a Technorati account and chained my dog(OOPS A DOG-ian slip- I mean "claimed my blog").

Here are Technorati Tags for this post : dog , dog tags , special dog

On the Technorati website- You will get a different search if you search Posts, Blogs, Photos and Videos because there are several different kinds of tags.

Popular blogs are ones with the most fans and Popular searches are the keywords that were used the most.

Delicious (formerly del.icio.us) is a social bookmarking web service for storing, sharing, and discovering web bookmarks. Social bookmarking is a method for Internet users to store, organize, search, and manage bookmarks. I created an account on this site and put my bookmarks on their site. Now I am able to access them from any dog house I visit.

I used some techie sites to make tags and categories on my side bar for my blog. Not a very easy task for the average dog but I am special dog.

RUFF-view of Marley & Me by Ace

I thought about my first audio book all weekend. Marley and me are alot alike in many areas.

Marley strolled like a runaway locomotive. He veered left and right and circled around owners and wrapped his leash around us. He wanted to make friends with all other dogs. He loved life. He lived for company of other animals or people. He did full skids on our wood floors

Marley was a funny bad dog with a good heart and was a good friend. The dog that touched our lives. He was wild and strong and he crashed his way through life. He had touched our soles ( he loves to chew & swallow socks and shoes) and living each day to the fullest and appreciated the simple things. Taught me how to be a good loyal friend. Loyalty, courage and emotion were important not the material things. Marley had given us a gift of complete love.

I wish people were more like dogs and just judged each other on personality and not on looks and what they own or drive or wear etc. I also want to live life to the fullest and be a loyal good friend to my moms. I will live by these words "enjoy the moment"

I hope my moms say "I am a great dog someday." I want them to read the book " No Bad dogs" by Barbara Woodhouse.

WET WALKS IN KERR PARK & MARSH CREEK, ETC

Had some great wet walks this weekend.
Loved to play in the puddles and all the leaves were great to hide in.
I went a little whacko. Ran circles around my moms.
I found out if I bite on the leash - the choke chain doesn't work right and I don't gag.
I am so smart it surprises me.

I also played with my friend Sadie and she ran loose and circles around me.
Her Mom lets her run loose.

MY LIBRARY THING AND EAUDIOBOOKS

I usually chew on books, magazines & newspapers but this cone on my head has made me read them instead. I will suggest these books to my 2 Moms and they may learn a few things about taking care of me. Look at the Book Covers on the right.

When I get tired of reading, I can use my old Mom's library card and laptop and listen to a book. This may be easier with this cone on my head. I am going to listen to "Marley" by John Grogran. I hear from my pals at Puppy Kindegarten that it is a good book but has a sad ending.

When I get done, I will write a RUFF-view.

THE DAY AFTER- NOW I AM A “FIXED COOL DUDE” !

My moms picked me up from the doc last night and I was so happy to see them. The drugs were still working. They got this cream named “Yuk” to apply to my stitched area and it tastes terrible.

I walk a little different now - I have a cool dog strut. I am going to “chill in my crib” with the cone on my head for awhile and take it easy! I am on the cover of the magazine “Bad Bad Dog- What ya going do..” – read the article for more information about my experience.

I told my obsessive mom that I would bite her if she took a photo of me with my cone head.
She knows not to mess with the new “Bad Bad Dog” RUFF!

“My BFMs” also bought me a new black studded leather collar.
More Bling Bling to impress the ladies. Notice my more mature bark now. RUFF! RUFF!

MY SPECIAL DAY IS HERE. My 6 Month Birthday and MORE.

Today is the day I get "fixed." What a birthday present?

The doc gave me some drugs and I enjoyed the colors and stars. This is the way I looked in my dream ! WOW !

Everything was in slow motion. I got “my pockets picked” if you get my gist and I couldn’t even file a police report.

WOOF! WOOF!

My Pocono Weekend- Nov 7-10

I walked every day in Hickory Run State Park. I am now wearing a choke collar so I don’t yank my old Mom’s arm out of the socket. I try not to pull too hard or I choke myself. I saw many birds and some deer. I would love to chase after them but the leash won’t let me get too close.

Played in the lake and streams. My old mom took me on the Hawk Falls Trail, Gould Trail, Beach Trail and Deer Trail. I got plenty of exercise. When we got home, I watched the fire in fireplace and got too close and burned by cheek. Ouch. I also took a dip in the hot tub- didn’t like it and jumped out with a big splash.

I now can jump out of the Jeep because I am getting bigger. I still need help getting in it.

RSS Search Tools- Digging and more digging

Using RSS Search Tools is like a dog digging through lots of dirt and chances are you will find something that is good and interesting. It just takes time.

Bloglines Search tool is the easiest. Syndic8 is the most confusing. Other tools which I found were "Search4rss" and "News is free" but they were slower than my old obsessive Mom. ( only kidding..)

Topix was a useful search tool when trying to find local news about Exton and nearby news. I found a Staffordshire Terrier Club in Reading that my Moms could join.
