Reading Dog. Reflecting. Relaxing.

Since I have fallen hopelessly behind in my blogging quota, our esteemed editor has asked me to blog-post my last update on my Facebook profile, which turned out to be more of a three-installment blog than a status. Brevity is not my strong suit, that’s why I don’t Tweet!

Here it is...

Now going to read “Predictably Irrational” written by Dan Ariely, who I met when speaking at EG 2008. Just finished my fifth beach book and for the moment, I’m done with novels; I want to savour the last — “DOG Spelled Backward” is written by a fellow dog trainer, Fernando Camacho, who gave me a copy at my June New Jersey seminar.I had just devoured four novels, all written by New York Times best-selling authors, but “DOG…” was way superior. Of course, I may be a wee bit biased because the heroine is a sweet little pit-cross. But the book is crisply written, with a nice flow between action and calm — good characters and a great storyline — not preachy but certainly thought–provoking. A wonderful read for my annual reassessment of what’s-it’s-all-about? Exciting too! There was one point near the end of the book, when I nearly howled out loud in horror, (which I have done twice before). But of course, I cannot say more: I cannot divulge the plot. All in all, a marvelous read. Thank you, Fernando. Check it out on Amazon.
