SANTA CAME EARLY AND GAVE ME A NEW WINTER COAT

Check out my "COOL" winter coat. It is a name brand called "Foggy Mountain".

I wore it in Poconos on my walks near the lake and I was a WARM COOL DUDE!

I heard one man say " Someone really spent some $ on that dog".

I am a LOVED dog!

LOOK AT ALL MY PILLOWS.

PAWPRINT IN THE SAND

I went to " CCLS 23 things wiki" and put my paw print in the sandbox - glad it wasn't cat litterbox- YUCK! SMELLY STUFF.

I added to the Favorites Books, Restaurants, etc. and added Favorite Music and my favorite song " "Dangerous".

Enjoy the cartoon. Damn Cats- Always laughing at me because I have to go outside in the rainy weather and they don't have to. They have their all weather litterbox. Sorry Mom - I cussed - how about "Darn cats!"?

WIKIS AND MORE

I found the example – Bull Run Library – the most interesting but wonder why a library would need both a website and a wiki. Just one more thing to keep up to date and most of the information is on website.

Here is an excellent slide show that tells you about Wikis and their use in libraries
Wikiing in your library: a practical overview - http://weblogs.elearning.ubc.ca/physio/barsky-wiki-vall.pdf A wiki is really a type of website that allows the visitors themselves to easily add, remove and otherwise edit and change some available content, sometimes without the need for registration. A Wiki is an excellent library tool for internal projects collaboration, internal brainstorming and ideas sharing. My old mom could use a wiki as a websmaster to collaborate with other Content Management System users.

In my research on wikis, I joined a Wiki for Rescue dogs and here is one on their badges to put on websites. The site is http://www.wikifido.com/ using WetPaint, a site which provides free wikis & websites.



I love this cartoon about Wet Paint so enjoy.

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.

LET'S PLAY and DISCOVER !!!!

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.
