Okay all you dog lovers out there . . . . I have a book recommendation
I'm enjoying the hell out of it so far (spotted it at Costco and picked it up on a whim):

Marley & Me by John Grogan (subtitled: Life and Love With the Worlds Worst Dog).

Just a great story about a couple who buy a yellow lab that is about as hyperactive as it's possible for a dog to be. Just a fun story all around.

1. Thanks! I love dog stories!
Reader's Digest used to run a lot of pet stories and I lived for them. :hi:

4. Haven't read that one
but for dog lovers I recommend "Pack of Two" by Caroline Knapp...if you've ever been in love with your dog.

5. Sounds like a good one for two friends of mine
they have a yellow lab who nearly ate everything in the house (furniture, clothing, rugs, the staircase....)!

6. This book will make you both laugh out loud and cry at times.
I mean serious laugh out loud funny parts here, I tore through more than half the book last night.
