34 posts | 21 read | 5 to read
A tale of love, hope, trust . . . and five tiny puppies **If you love A Christmas Carol and Marley and Me, this is the book for you.** When his girlfriend Amanda leaves him, Josh Michaels is broken-hearted and miserable at the thought of spending Christmas alone. A call from his neighbour out the blue, asking him to look after his dog Lucy, is the last thing he needs. But, like it or not, Lucy bounds into his life. And soon Josh realizes that Lucy is not only energetic, but also very pregnant. He suddenly finds himself looking after not just one dog, but five tiny, adventurous puppies too. Josh heads down to the local animal shelter, seeking advice, where he meets the beautiful, headstrong Kerri, who works to find homes for abandoned dogs. She says that the puppies are now his responsibility, but insists they must be adopted. As Christmas draws nearer, Josh cant help but be won over by his new, unruly family, with their joyous, unconditional love he also finds himself falling for Kerri. Soon Josh realizes he wants nothing more than to give these dogs a home, and not only for Christmas . . . Can Lucy and her puppies help Josh get over Amanda, win Kerris heart, and stay with him for longer than just the holidays? A charming, unforgettable seasonal tale, bursting with love, A Dog for Christmas tells the story of how an unexpected arrival at Christmas made a family complete forever. *Published in the US as The Dogs of Christmas*

You don‘t have to ask me twice who is the nicest mutt on Santa‘s list - Caprica! She got her picture taken with Santa in 2019.

Mehso-so

Picked up this little book in the “Little Library” in my neighborhood while out walking my dogs with my Grandchildren. It is a pleasant enough read, especially about the dogs, but the main human characters were quirky and could have been more likable. Pleasant little story for light reading.

Cute story with a happy ending. A bit predictable though. The story is about Josh an introvert who works from home as a software engineer. One day his neighbor drops off a pregnant dog and asks him to watch her a few days because he has a family emergency. Josh has never had a dog before and has no idea what to do. 4⭐

I read this all in one sitting last night. It was a nice little feel-good story. The title is misleading, in a way, because it's not what I'd consider a Christmas story. (You know, with Christmas at the epicenter...) In case you wonder, this one is told from a human perspective. 👧

I combined #hotdrinkandabook with #christmassyreads with Archer Farms Candy Cane coffee, hands down my favorite! And of course dogs ( which by complete accident resemble their real life counterparts)
