The Huffington Post: 4th of July Festivities: How to Keep Your Dog Calm

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It is officially 4th of July, and a time to drink, eat, and of course celebrate with fireworks as we honor our country of the United States.  However, when it comes to fireworks, that is one aspect of the festivities that can really harm your dog.

Fireworks are loud for humans, but imagine 10 times of that huge boom.  The noise of fireworks is 10x more loud for a dog than it is for a human, and that can not only cause ear damage, but also make your pet very anxious and stressed out.

There are some precautions you can take, so check out the link above to keep your patriotic doggie safe.

Happy Wednesday and Fourth of July All!

Mine is either an exclamation point (!) or a hyphen (-).  Which, according to this test, says I’m a hyper person – thanks to the exclamation point – and a creative social butterfly – thanks to Mr. Hyphen.

Flavorwire: ‘Six Seasons and a Movie’: Art Inspired by NBC’s ‘Community’

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’m a HUGE fan of TV shows.  At one point I followed 18 different TV shows religiously.  However, ‘Community’ is one of my all time favorites.  I didn’t really like it in the beginning as the first couple of episodes were a little typical and slow, but I fell in love with it by maybe the 5th episode and realized just how different and original this show truly is.

So, it is only right that this is the Link of the Day.  All of these fan arts are so cool, and make sure you check out the second one.  Of course, if you haven’t seen the show you won’t understand, but that’s why you MUST watch it!  It really is so good!

Have you seen ‘Community’?

Link of the Day: Judge a Book by Its Cover

The Huffington Post:  Rejected Covers: Stan Grinapol Discussed Designing ‘Second Person Singular’ Book Cover

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I would totally check out this book based on its cover.  I love covers with bright colors, cool illustrations, or ones like this where it’s so absurd that you just have to see what the book is about.  The synopsis of this book sounds pretty unique too that I may just add it to my TBR list!

What kind of cover makes you pick up a book?
