What better way to inaugurate 025.431: The Dewey blog than with the number that's the subject of Eliza's all-time favorite DDC/LCSH mapping. This is the one assigned to Arden Moore's Dog parties: How to party with your pup (BowTie Press, 2004). "When it comes to party trends, dog parties win paws down." Faced with the challenge of creating a subject heading for Ms. Moore's work, LC catalogers plumped for "Parties for dogs," which translates into 636.70887 Dogs as pets in Dewey-speak. Woof!
