pickI loved this book. It is the best I‘ve ever read about dogs, with narrative by a dog. Enzo gives us his entire life story: his relationships with humans, his desires, what he loves, and everything he feels. Tissues needed. *The screen adaptation stays 95% true to the book. Watch it—you know you want to!
Many of you have seen Sherlock in my posts. He has been by my side for my entire health scare/issues journey. He‘s my snuggle buddy, calming force & so much more.
This weekend we found out he has his own issues. He needs to see a specialist (currently booking a month out! 😤) but things look bad.
It‘s been a horrible, emotional and stressful weekend. I‘m a mess. He‘s amazing as usual.
Please keep him in your thoughts. I‘d really appreciate it.
pickThis book has its sad moments but it‘s a funny and light hearted read. What is it like, not just in the day of a dog‘s life—but in its heart? That‘s what this book presents. Too often we take our closest companions for granted, and still, they never stop loving us. The Buddha once said if you want to understand love, start with animals first, because they‘re easier. He also said animals die sooner than us, because when we come into the world⬇️
pickThis book is a solid and extensive history of our closest, most beloved companions: dogs. From evolution, to our first contact, wars, religion and mythology (and so much more), it‘s all there. Shown: Aine, the sweetest little girl who snuggles with me every day!
I enjoyed watching the neighbor's dog playing this morning. Missed my photo opportunity, so this is a web photo.

pickI loved the author‘s memoir ‘You Had Me At Woof‘ and knew I wanted to read this one too. She shares three stories of how dogs have enriched her life and got her through hard times. This is a book for dog lovers and anyone who has fostered and adopted them. Shown: Cthulu, a Boston Terrier we adopted years ago. I miss him every day!🌈
so-so(I‘m slowly trying to catch up on reviews back to MAY… when this was a #KindredSpiritsBuddyRead #LMMAdjacent pick.)
This book for children, published in 1893, is based on the real-life story of a dog who‘s rescued from horrible abuse. When I was a kid, I loved animal stories, especially when told from the animal's perspective. And I think I‘d have enjoyed this “Autobiography of a Dog” much more as a kid. Or maybe not? ⤵️

This book felt like a hug around my heart.It was such a delightful read.I loved getting to know all of the dogs and their human's through the eyes of the bookstore owner.As with the best of heartfelt reads there were happy, joy filled moments also balanced by some of the more poignant and sadder moments that come from loving dogs and bonding so closely with them when they have such infinitely short life spans in comparison to yours.🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Pause for the paws. Really loved Julie Klam‘s memoir of her years as a Boston Terrier rescue volunteer.
