    That's another one I loved! Also, there was one "hide and seek" book with a puppy named Spot? Gosh, I'm so horrible at remembering book names!

    I found it for you but it's expensive! This is the only one I could find.

    I did the right thing by setting you free
    But the pain is very deep.
    If only I could turn back time, forever, you I'd keep.
    I miss you


    I hear you whimper in your sleep
    I gently pet you and say, no bad dreams
    It will be alright, to my dog as dark as night.

    Fur as dark as the night.
    Join me on this flight.
    Paws of love that follow me.
    In my heart you'll forever be.

    How I wish I could hold you near.
    Turn back time to make it so.
    Hug you close and never let go.

    Angus books (he was a Scottish Terrier), there is very little reading in them. I remember when I was very young they were the books I always took out of the library.

    Charlotte's Web...Jeeter, Mason, and, the Magic Headset...the Sweet Pickles books...Pink Pig...the Oz books...Anne of Green Gables and the rest of the Anne books...there are a lot more, but, their names elude me!

    Francis books...she was a possum, or porcupine or something...dang it, I can't remember the name...but, there's a photo of me as an infant on my dad's chest, and, he's reading one of them to me. Something about a tea party or something...dang. I'll have to ask my mom!

    Oh, I loved those too!

    I loved Babar! And Madeline too.

    When I was older I liked the Narnia books. I also really liked the Indian in the Cupboard, a Wrinkle in Time, and Tom Sawyer.

    I like "Island of the Blue Dolphins" and "Trumpet of the Swan". And, of course, I like any book about dogs.

    "We are raised to honor all the wrong explorers and discoverers - thieves planting flags, murderers carrying crosses. Let us at last praise the colonizers of dreams."- P.S. Beagle

    "All that is gold does not glitter, Not all those who wander are lost; The old that is strong does not wither, Deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, A light from the shadows shall spring; Renewed shall be blade that was broken, The crownless again shall be king." - J.R.R. Tolkien

    Oh boy. I was SUCH a bookworm growing up, so I don't know where to begin.

    As a child, I LOVED the Berenstain Bears, Magic School Bus, Sideways Stories from Wayside School, Arthur Books, Curious George, Clifford the Big Red Dog, and so many others. I think I may have read almost every book for children in the library. I also loved reading religious books for children...stories of the Prophets, etc. I loved the Little House series. I loved the Yearling. There were so many books that I used to read. Seriously...I could not live without books when I was a child. The internet changed that...I still love books, but nowadays, I find myself reading things online way more than sitting down with a good book.

    A Woggle of Witches by Adrienne Adams. I used to check this book out of the library EVERY week and then a couple of years ago my mom found it for me and bought it. I was very excited!

    Where the Wild Things Are - I found a T-Shirt at Target with this title printed across the front and it's my FAVOURITE t-shirt! I bought this book for myself for about $3 at a record store of all places - how strange!

    I loved all the Dr Seuss books and all the Cabbage Patch books - did anyone read those? My all time favourite author is Judy Blume.. I've read and have collected all of her books as well
