PET TALES

Come on into the library and tell us all about your favorite pet! A big basket, labelled "Pet Tales" sits on the front desk. Nearby are pens and cards for you to use. The most unusual stories will be published right on this blog for everyone on the internet to read and enjoy. The staff jumped right in with stories of their own. From Peg: I never received the name picked by my parents because my brother got there first, naming his cat "Katherine". Margaret, it had to be......Her brother also insisted on calling the family's big English Sheep Dog-"Sunny Gool" . No Halloween creature (ghoul) he. Rather, he was named after a place regarded as great fun, requiring no sharing of toys with a kid sister-- Sunday School....... Our Children's Librarian Rosemary wrote of her pets, named after flowers--Lily and Snappy. Lily, a tiny Papillon, visits the library often, and even has her own card! Snappy, for Snapdragon, was aptly named, it would seem, because she was a very beautiful cat, but had a "dark" side. We all were sorry when we heard that she had crossed that famous Rainbow Bridge, and was put to rest very appropriately in the family garden.....More stories to come from our patrons who love their pets,
