Possibly on a table, but Choc was big enough to get his paws on things up there, I'm sure.<BR/><BR/>Came back, ruined book.<BR/><BR/>Wickett will sit on the newspaper if I have the audacity to read it on the floor.

(Poodle mix, got bounced from family to family the first year of his life.)<BR/><BR/>I am his toy and his enemy and the provider of dog bones, popcorn, and white bread from time to time.<BR/><BR/>Once, I was laying on the couch on my stomach, and I put the book on the floor for whatever reason, and when I tried to pick it up, he was mad! He's bit my (and the library's) books, but never done any damage, though he thinks he did.<BR/><BR/>Your dogs are so cute, and have great literary taste.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and do Tall and Dark refer to stickchick or a guy?Kaitlynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13279904127449708251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-15761852868330692912007-05-11T13:14:00.000-04:002007-05-11T13:14:00.000-04:00This was a truly awful book.

You could possibly create an entire website featuring "action" photos of these pups, with minor commentary, and I'd check it out.<BR/><BR/>Also, I really wonder where authors of crappy books (barring the entirely different discussion as to how such things get published in the first place) obtain cover blurbs like "An enthralling read from beginning to end." In fact, I'm so befuddled, I can't think of some snarky additional commentary. Something about bleeding eyeballs, maybe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2055640445288546798.post-44400846823119674592007-04-24T16:56:00.000-04:002007-04-24T16:56:00.000-04:00Cats you don't have to worry about chewing up the ...Cats you don't have to worry about chewing up the books--just occasionally peeing on them.

My cockatiel, Salvador, loves to perch on a book and chew off a little bit of the pages. He has become quite adept at moving his toes when I need to turn a page.Toonheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11472697550326080445noreply@blogger.com
