Book Review

Mama Pajama Tells  A Story
 A collection of Writings About Dogs and Their Servants
By Patience Renzulli

I want to share a great little book with you. The best part is it was written by one of us, a dog blogger. I discovered the Patience Please blog when she left a comment on one of my posts. Since then I drop in regularly to check on her and her pack. You see Patience has a nine dog pack, as do I. When she wrote her book, she had eight Whippets and a Lab. No wonder I can relate so well to many of her stories.

This book has a little something for everyone. If you have a whole pack, you'll find lots of familiar adventures, such as trying to walk nine dogs at once. If you've tried showing or racing your dog, you'll recognize the people and events associated with those activities. If you have a single couch potato pet dog, you'll still find lots to laugh and cry over. You'll soon feel as if you know each of her dogs personally as she describes their personalities.

I started reading this the night that Tsar died. I was feeling sad and close to tears, but I actually found myself laughing out loud several times, especially when she explained "bungee walking". I bought the Kindle edition, but I think I need the hard copy on my dog shelf in the library. This book will always hold a reminder of Tsar for me.

If you've ever loved a dog, you'll find something in this book to enjoy.  It clearly was written with a sense of humor and abundant love.
