"We are writing to express how grateful we are for your website and the "Understanding Dog Behavior" articles! "Three weeks ago Boody's left front and back paws were operated on and as a result we were unable to walk him and give him enough exercise. "Boody used to act a bit jealous toward Danny's daughter, but now, after teaching her to give him food and commands and to stay strict with him, he does listen to her and seems to accept her as a pack leader! "I would never have thought that setting rules for a dog has actually nothing to do with being cruel, but makes the dog and its owners much more balanced and happier!

Step Inside the Trippy, Book-Lined Interior of D'espresso Cafe in NYC | Inhabitat New York City Even in today’s digital world, printed books still enjoy a huge fan following. There’s just something about holding a real book in your hand, wondering about the author, the characters, and the hands that might have held it before you. Nemaworkshop, a New York-based collective of architects, designers and thinkers, tapped into this bibliophilia with their design concept for the second location of D’espresso, a trendy coffee shop located on Madison adjacent to Grand Central Terminal. Using uniquely printed tiles, the designers turned the entire cafe on its side, giving customers the feeling of being in a bookstore owned by Alice and the Mad Hatter. There are people who love books, and then there are people who love books so much they use them as flooring, wall paper and ceiling tiles. The designers at Nemaworkshop and the owners of D’espresso are clearly the latter. Not surprisingly, the book-lined cafe has turned a few heads, some of them famous. + D’Espresso by Nemaworkshop

On first glance, it looks quite gloomy. But then you step inside. Immediately, you are engulfed in a cavern of books. They pile from floor to ceiling, glower down from towering bookshelves, and overwhelm every crevice of the store. The store’s sections are handwritten notes taped to the shelves, often with special “directions.” Charles Simic shared his love of independent bookstores in a Tuesday New York Review of Books blog post. “Among the crowded shelves, one’s interest was aroused by the title or the appearance of a book. Simic reminds readers that in used books, we meet more than the author – we also meet past readers, mysterious and diverse. Jim Toole, Capitol Hill Books’ owner, told People’s District in August 2011 that he has gathered 20,000+ volumes from estate sales, yard sales, and auctions.
