This book is stuffed with information on canine behavior in an easy to understand manner. I will definitely have to reread it in the future!

Could not resist starting this on my way to work as an audiobook. Seems appropriate since we might add another kid to our herd.

As my mother would say, “What‘s up, Trix?” I hope you have a better day today, @TricksyTails ! Here‘s a collage of Bunny getting her first bath this week after being slobbered on and ground in to the mud by her new BFF Brewster the Berner, my teeny baby swathed in a blanket at Trader Joe‘s, and my big girl in her snow gear on the playground at pre-k.

On my 2nd #24in48 book. It is a cold and windy day out there so I‘m spending it perfectly: snuggled up with one of the doggies and kitties in front of the fire. 😊

I‘m having a slow start, but that might just be my long day. I‘m still very hopeful it‘ll pick up, and intrigued about what I‘m going to learn about doggies. 🐶 💜 My pup, Muffin, will be 5 years old next Friday and I picked this book in her honour. I‘ll post a picture of the party next week.

I got this book as a gift awhile ago but haven't gotten around to reading it yet but I cant wait to find the time to read it, If you‘re interested in learning about what goes on inside a dog‘s head, this is the book for you. Cognitive scientist Alexandra Horowitz explains how dogs perceive the world and why they do the things they do. 🐶

Pogue That was a very good book. 7y
CanadianMama I loved that book! 7y

This book started better than it finished. It was pretty long and it almost feels as though the author was also getting tired of writing it as much as I was getting a little tired of reading it. It had a good premise: using authors own dogs to explain behaviour and then going into the research behind dog behaviour. ⭐⭐⭐/5

LibrarianJen 😍 i have a German Shepherd too! 7y
ReadingSusan Awww that photo is cute 7y
mrsmarch I love when our dogs love us enough to let us use them as photo props ❤️ 7y
TamarackTrail @mrsmarch or are too tired to even care! 💕🐶 7y
mrsmarch @TamarackTrail If you‘re interested in dog behavior and dogs and humans, I highly recommend 7y

Day 21: Animal Covers. Yay! I had a hard time picking only a couple. This house is FULL of dog books (wife is seriously looking into becoming a part-time dog trainer) and a recent episode of Get Booked talked about Redwall so that has been on my mind. #riotgrams

Drove up to Phoenix on Wednesday. While the SO was at an appointment, Bernie and I shopped at Half Price Books. #BookHaul. Spring Break is almost over😪 but I'm looking forward to spending a nice chunk of the weekend reading during #LitsyPartyOfOne

Alicia Is that the one on Camelback? I always forget about it and just go to Changing Hands! 8y
DogMomIrene @Alicia I think so. It's around the Biltmore area. I saw a Whole Foods around the corner. I wasn't driving, so I just saw a bookstore and told the SO where he could find me when he was done. They had a nice selection of hardbacks. I actually had a hard time making decisions. 8y
Alicia @ocdIrene that's the one I'm thinking of!!! Im going down next week, I will have to check it out!! 8y

Now I know why my dog won't pick up a frisbee she's basically standing on. She can't see it and doesn't know it's there. All this time I just thought she was being a jerk. #whatdogssee #dogweirdness #dog

I've read so many books today for cybils and it's really cold outside, despite what my tank top suggests. I'm about to crawl into my snuggie for this read.

Vern Yip and I are on the same table of contents page (my inner teenage Trading Spaces fan girl is freaking out)! And Alexandra Horowitz is on the page before! My @Litsy #SpinePoetry got rearranged and expanded and divided and turned into the first poem I've ever been paid for.

Just picked this up in the airport. I'm excited! Although I probably should finish some of my other books before I start another new one...

Finally finished this book. I really wanted to like it, but was very disappointed. Could be my expectations were too high. I've also always owned a dog, and didn't feel like I learned much. The best part of reading is my ever constant and reliable reading partner. 🐶 Love her so much! 💖
