Facts-Dogs8

When dogs kick after going to the bathroom, they are using the scent glands on their paws to further mark their territory.

    I did not know that! How fascinating! This factoid presents a puzzle, however, when it comes to cats. Cats use their paws to dig up dirt or sand to cover up their excrement. If their scent glands leave behind a smell, however, then they cannot fool their potential prey into thinking that 'there is no cat around'. Or, do dogs and cats have scent glands in different places on their bodies???

The Best Obama Book and Book Signing

Hello Readers, Today we went to a book signing and I was very happy! There was a lot of people, there was a girl tugging at my leg. Nikki Grimes said that she wanted us to dream on. I had a book about BARACK OBAMA signed by Nikki Grimes and illustrator Bryan Collier. I asked, what made you want to write a book about Barack Obama? She paused for a few seconds and said, " Yes I love to write, it would be lots of publicity, and it would bring attention to my other books and writings. Once the research began, she began to like him, she began to understand his message, leaning more led to greater appreciation. Following his campaign ups and downs made my heart jump." The book was a "crash book." In December of 2007, the publisher contacted her and requested 3 weeks for research and writing, as opposed to the usual 3 to 4 months for book research alone. Here is the author's website: http://www.nikkigrimes.com/
