DOG BOOKS & MOVIES

[Iditarodfan]

HI DOTD LOVERS : HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO SHARE YOUR FAVORITE DOG BOOKS OR MOVIES WITH ME?
HERE'S MY IDEA: TELL US THE NAME & AUTHOR OR PERTINENT INFORMATION ABOUT THE BOOK OR MOVIE AND GIVE US A REASON "WHY" WE SHOULD READ THIS BOOK OR SEE THIS MOVIE.
EXAMPLE: "PACK OF TWO" BY CAROLINE KNAPP
THIS IS A SUPERB STORY ABOUT A WOMAN WHO LOST BOTH HER PARENTS & GAVE UP A A 20 YEAR RELATIONSHIP WITH ALCOHOL. SHE WAS ASKING HERSELF "WHO AM I?", WHEN SHE GOT A DOG.
IN "LUCILLE" CAROLINE FOUND SOLACE, JOY & A BRIDGE TO THE WORLD. AFTER READING THIS BOOK
MY ONLY THOUGHT WAS: "SO WHAT IF SOME PEOPLE LIKE DOGS BETTER THAN PEOPLE." HOPE THIS TOPIC GOES OVERBOARD! BEA IN WASHINGTON

[Logan]

Bea, that's the one I would suggest, and you did a beautiful job of explaining it!! I mailed my copy to Karen Israel today, as a matter of fact. If anyone wants it after her, maybe you could talk her into mailing on to the next one. I'd love to get it back with a little note inscribed by everyone it visited!

We just might have to start our own Pet Talk Book Club. Just like Oprah!!!!

[Iditarodfan]

YOU BET LOGAN! PLEASE, KAREN ISRAEL, FOLLOW LOGAN'S REQUEST & LET'S KEEP "PACK OF TWO" BY CAROLINE KNAPP ON THE MOVE. LOGAN, ONLY THING IS I WILL BE SO JEALOUS OF YOUR INSCRIPTED COPY! (just kidding) THANKS FOR SHARING & YES, WE COULD GIVE OPRAH A RUN FOR HER MONEY.

Bea, that's a great idea, I'm sure there are a lot of books I would like to read that I haven't even heard about, and Logan that's also a good idea about the book or movie of the month, etc. One that I love and I'm still reading it (I'm a very slow reader) is
"Chicken Soup for the Pet Lover's Soul" another that I'm waiting to receive by mail is the book reccommended by Bridget.

BRIDGET, HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU! WHAT IS THE BOOK JACKIESDAISY IS REFERRING TO? HEY, I REALLY LIKE THE IDEA OF MAILING THE BOOKS TO EACH OTHER! WOULD ANYONE LIKE TO READ "DOG TALES - CLASSIC STORIES ABOUT SMART DOGS" BY RON BECK. EMAIL ME YOUR ADDRESS & I WILL BE GLAD TO MAIL IT TO YOU.
LATER, BEA

Hi Bea!

I think it is a fantastic idea to share books among Pet Talkers! I would be thrilled to have it mailed to me and then mail it off to another Pet Talker Gosh I love you folks! I am real glad I bumped into this site because it's simply loaded with wonderful, friendly people

Maybe we could include a picture of our pet in the cover and write on the back of the picture stating something like "Graham's mom was here"

[Sudilar]

What a great idea!!!!!

ADOREMYDOGS (GRAHAM'S MOM): TALK ABOUT SMART DOGS. WOOF,WOOF, YOU PEOPLE ARE TOO SMART, TOO. LESLIE, "Dog Tales" is in the mail today, with a picture of Molly G. McGruder.

Anyone interested in reading a picture book?

Hi! Iditarodfan, the book I recommended is "The Compassion of Animals" by Kristen Von Kreisler. I wrote all about it here: http://petoftheday.com/cgibin/ultima...&f=21&t=000150

That book swapping is a great idea! I'll have to wiggle my way into the line up

[Rottie]

For Rott lovers, or anyone interested in them I would recommend the book Rottweilers for Dummies. Great book!

[Iditarodfan]

ROTTIE, YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING, "ROTTIES FOR DUMMIES" SOUNDS HELPFUL. NOW HERE'S A ? FOR ALL OF YOU. HOW DO YOU GET THOSE TERRIFIC DOG PICTURES ON YOUR POSTS???
MOLLY G. IS SO JEALOUS OF CARL, DAISY, & ALL THE OTHER DOGS WHOSE PICTURES ARE INCLUDED IN THE POSTS. PLEASE, KAREN OR SOMEONE HELP US DUMMIES! :O THANKS, THAT WOULD BE REALLY COOL.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Bridget, I just wanted you to know that I
got my "The compassion of Animals" in the mail and just started reading it and I can't put it down. It's great, in fact I'm going right now to do some more reading. Thanks for letting us know about this wonderful book.
Jackie

[Daisy's Mom]
