I will be starting this book today:
Oskar Schell is not your average nine-year-old. A budding inventor, he spends his time imagining wonderful creations. He also collects random photographs for his scrapbook and sends letters to scientists. When his father dies in the World Trade Center collapse, Oskar shifts his boundless energy to a quest for answers. He finds a key hidden in his father's things that doesn't fit any lock in their New York City apartment; its container is labeled "Black." Using flawless kid logic, Oskar sets out to speak to everyone in New York City with the last name of Black. A retired journalist who keeps a card catalog with entries for everyone he's ever met is just one of the colorful characters the boy meets.

Had a little bit of a scare today, Piper slipped in some slick stairs coming in from her outside time and she fell and I swear she looked up at me like she was embarrassed. She bounded up the inside stairway fast as she always does (about 15 feet of stairs), got to the top and immediately started to cry and wouldn't put weight on her leg at all. This worried me because Piper is quite the little tank, even after her spaying she didn't show pain. I cuddled her for a little bit then Julie and I went out to run errands. I came home a little while ago and she seems fine, but I'll be keeping an eye on her and making sure her leg doesn't stiffen up overnight. Send positive puppy wishes her way :)
