National Ice Cream Day ~ need I say more?

Oh, I will add that National Ice Cream Day is on the 3rd Sunday in July, which also happens to be during National Ice Cream Month.  Let's eat ice cream!

The Hidden Life of Dogs
~ by Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, illustrated by Jared T. Williams, 1993, science, 148 pages

The author is an authority on canine behavior.  She observed the exploits of her dogs during a thirty-year period, including how they dug themselves a vast underground den.  An Amazon customer mentioned that the author's revelations about the basic nature and needs of dogs was helpful, adding:  "Even if you have no dogs, it is a fascinating read."

So I checked it out of our small library and am ready to start reading it.  By the way, if you eat ice cream while reading this book, please do not drip it on the pages.  I'm sure all readers know that sticky pages are NOT good for books.

  4. National Ice Cream Day! I’m glad I didn’t know that earlier, for surely I would have indulged. But, to prepare you, July 29 is National Lipstick Day. In case you’re interested. I always mark it down, as I love lipstick, and usually stores from low to high end have special deals for that day.
