Listening to audio books



Mom downloads audio books to her phone and when nobody is home she often just plays them without headphones and we get to listen to them. When she forgets to turn on our daily book, we remind her it is time for our daily entertainment. We like British readers. Mom thinks this dates back to Dog Dad getting us hooked on British announcers with soccer. However, we just happen to like British readers. It makes the story more interesting. Mom listens to a range of fiction and non-fiction but we prefer when she stays away from the scary stuff. It gives us nightmares, but how can we leave her alone to listen to it by herself?

We prefer her reading audio books to paper or her Kindle because we get to participate too. She can sit for hours staring at pages of squiggles and we get nothing from that. At least with an audio book we can hear and share the story.

Catching up on my Reading


Bailey's never been one for reading, but since I discovered Mom's bed, I've always loved exploring her books. There is something about sticking my nose in a book and exploring it. Of course, there was that incident with teeth involved, so Mom insists I have to be supervised around books now, but oh I do love them. Today we were exploring a mystery where, well I won't spoil it for you. I love to nose my way to the end find out who done it and then work my way through the clues. Mom does find it a bit annoying when I lose her place.

Today, sensing I was missing my daily dose of all the wonderful winter games we've been watching she actually read some of the story to me until I fell asleep. Now I am certain I know who did it. Except she won't let me tell her. She hates it when I guess first and ruin the book for her.
