Book Review – Dogs Don’t Bite When a Growl Will Do
9
This is a very cute book and a quick read. Each chapter is about 2-4 pages and tells a story about life lessons we can all learn from dogs. This is a great book to have around the house and read when you need a quick pick me up. No need to read this book all in one sitting (like I did) as it is guaranteed to make you smile multiple times.
A bit of video entertainment
22I have been so behind with posting because work. I normally have posts prepped for almost a month but just realized I have run out. For your entertainment here are all four pups wrestling. Ill get more blogs set up later this week, I promise.
Book Review – What Wendell Wants
20
When reading this book, I found myself comparing the authors actions to mine in an all too real way. The story follows the author through a journey of new dog ownership. She quickly becomes one of those “obsessed” dog owners that she always thought were crazy (oh how many of us know this all too well) and details everything she doesn’t for her dog.
I find the funniest part of the book to be the stories she tells about her husbands interactions with their dog and how they differ so greatly from hers. Even the neighbors think there are two different dogs of the same breed in their neighborhood!
I would recommend this to everyone for an entertaining read, as long as you can also laugh at yourself 
Meet Gibson
12For this week’s adoptable dog we have Gibson. Gibson is with the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation in Toluca Lake, CA.
GIBSON, is one of the most striking dogs you will ever come across! He has the most amazing Silver Blue, Brindle coat, that shimmers in the sun. LBWF has invested an enormous amount of time, and training to allow this handsome boy to have the best life possible. His original volunteer at the shelter recently fostered him in Malibu, CA, and enrolled him in training where he graduated with honors! He is awesome on a leash and easy to deal with in public places
He is the most affectionate and loyal Staffordshire terrier. He has many human friends and everyone develops a crush on GIBSON
Please if you would like to set an appointment to meet GIBSON fill out an application and tell us why you are the right forever home for him.
He wants a yard to lounge in as he pleases, loves hiking and having quality human time.
He is up to date on shots, neutered and micro chipped
Southern Ca adoptions only due to home checks.
To adopt Gibson, please visit the Linda Blair WorldHeart Foundation website or Gibson’s Petfinder page.
Happy Gotcha Day Big Carl

Book Review – Nose Down, Eyes Up
17
I have a feeling that many bloggers may find this book offensive. It is the story of a man who lives with 4 dogs and one day discovers they can talk. They follow him along on his journey through relationships and moves due to bad decisions in said relationships. I started reading this book because I liked her other book “walking in circles before laying down” but didn’t find this one to be as good. So the offensive part? Once he learns his dogs can speak, he starts a blog and then makes fun of everyone who types like their dogs. Oh and he hates all thing “LOL Speak.” If those parts are skipped, its still an OK book but nothing more than that.

On the road again
26After three wonderful weeks at home I am back on the road. The only part of being on the road I like is having a bed to myself. Don’t get me wrong, I love sleeping with the pups but they all want to be RIGHT NEXT TO ME. In the below images are two normal configurations. Baily is Purple, Mesa is Blue, Big Carl is Red and Tori is Green. The hubs is the big human and I am the little one. Don’t ya’ll love my artistic abilities?
