pickIt was interesting to see the growth of the dogs and the author and his love of his new community. There were times when I was on the fence, so to speak, about his contention that dogs make people better. Do they? I believe so. However, it isn‘t there job to do so. All of that is the responsibility of the human.
I‘m enjoying this. Cozy English mystery, where the dog‘s thoughts are part of the narration. He‘s a failed police dog named Rex Harrison who is not terribly obedient 😂 His owner is a retired police detective who gets involved in solving crimes. I have a Shepherd mix named Carter whose thought process reminds me a lot of Rex. Smart, with a mind of his own. 😉 He enjoys taking up 2/3 of our couch. Shown with Lilly, our beagle/pit mix.
pickThis was a premise about which I was initially slightly skeptical, but I eschewed my cynicism & read on. And I was pleasantly surprised not just by the fact that the premise worked really well, but also by how much I enjoyed this book! It really did totally grab me. Moving & surprisingly thought provoking with a cracking redemption arc for the bad guy & a really satisfying ending. And dogs. What more could you want really? 🐕🐶🐕
pickIt‘s been a rough day, so I checked this out from library and read it to Bailey who likes to chase bees. She didn‘t seem impressed, but I found it delightful. 🤣🤣🐝🐝
It has been years since I read this book, but I remember loving it.

pickPartner read with my little peanut. Perfect rainy day activity 🌧️ this book was so stinking cute. 🥰
Two books, going backwards. I just finished the prequel to The Book of Edgar Sawtelle, which I first read in 2008. After waiting 16 years for this, it was everything I needed, excessive at times. I need to ponder Familiaris a bit before I can really review it - meanwhile I want to take another run at the original.

One of the books challenged in my school district as inappropriate for the high school library due to sexual content 🙄🙄
so-so4✨I remember watching a classic movie of this book a long time ago. I just could not remember the ending. A young boy and his father respect the land and the land owner that allows them to live there. One day Danny finds himself drawn to a beautiful dog. He trains him and cares for him as they navigate through the dangers that surround them. Specifically, from Old Majesty a tough bear in the area. I found out this is a series too.
