I bought a baby pool on clearance, jammed it in my car, filled it up and waited to see what Dixie would think of it. A few minutes later, she was "swimming". Now, every time she heads outside, she wants to get her laps in. Will caught it on video.
The same day, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt invited readers and authors to submit photos of their pets enjoying books, for a feature called "Bookpets". I quick snapped a photo of Dixie and "The PS Brothers", since it's the house that published it. Dixie cooperated, but the only reason she looks like she's smiling is because her new pool is in sight. Here's the link to look at all the other submissions, too, if you're into cats, dogs and chickens reading books--which obviously, I am! Also, if you have your own "bookpet", submit his/her photo!
