It was a beautiful day this past Sunday: The snow had all melted, it was warm, the sun was out: A perfect day to pick up my daughter, granddaughter and have a pleasant day shopping, running errands and perhaps do lunch together. I got out of the car and took a horrible spill on the still icy sidewalk that looked absolutely dry. My left knee took the brunt of it and was not in good shape which resulted in an unplanned and unwanted vacation from work while I wait for it to heal. You can tell from the number of posts that I have WAY too much time on my hands. (There is a reason that I don't have a problem with really active dogs---I am oh, so not a good invalid). Good time to find some good reading material, right? So I came across a list of favorite doggie books, much loved by dog people, that I am offering up as a topic. Maybe some forum members have already read some of them. The Culture Clash, by Jean Donaldson (I think the foreword was written by Ian Dunbar). is a fascinating and enlightening perspective on dog behavior. It also takes great pains to point out how popular or common wisdom about our canine companions differs from their (the dog's) reality. Do you guys have any favorite Doggie Books? Care to offer up titles and perhaps some comments as to why you love them?
