A few months ago, I saw a book at Costco that I thought my boyfriend's father and I would both like to read. I ended up buying the book for his father and suggesting that he read a few chapters and hand the book off for me to read a few chapters and so on. When my boyfriend's father was done with about half the book he gave me the book to read. When I got the book I was already reading 2 other books (yes,you can read more than 1 book at a time), but I knew that I had to focus on finishing this book so I could return it to my boyfriend's father.
I ended up taking a lot longer finishing the book than I intended to take because (as stated in another post) I couldn't keep my eyes open long enough to read when I hit my pillow at night (I usually only read at bedtime).
About 4 weeks ago I finally finished Inside of a Dog. This book made me laugh, learn, and cry about loving dogs :) I learned that dogs want to 'greet you' a their level meaning they want to smell your nose to greet you- that's why they try to jump on you- to get to your face. The book reminded me that I should take walks for just my dog sometimes- smell walks. The purpose of these walks is to allow your dog to smell whatever and for how ever long he/she wants to- i.e. don't tug him/her away from the tree, bush, or ground that he/she is so interested in. Yes, this walk means there will be a lot of standing around for you, but you'll be treating your dog without edible treats :)
Good read. I've read better dog books, but I liked the writer's style and her small stories about her own dog.
