Catching Up

I got back from ALA around midnight and picked up the pup a few hours later. Hopefully I can catch up over the next few days with posts on ALA (especially all the wonderful meetings with the Newbery winner and honor folks and the amazing banquet) and on the pup herself (who is completely overwhelmed right now). I will say that speeches at the banquet were absolutely extraordinary (and, of course, I’m especially thrilled about Laura’s) and that I can’t believe I have a dog (who, right now, won’t drink eat, or poop — I’m assuming she will give in on all fronts eventually — and, if not, thank goodness we are seeing the vet tomorrow! I never considered a constipated puppy as my first problem).
