The Dogs of Christmas

The Dogs of Christmas by W. Bruce Cameron
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This book made me giggle out loud - hahaaa, some of the situations that Josh finds himself in - babysitting a pregnant dog, dealing with abandoned puppies, and falling into crazy, silly love with a woman from the animal shelter, Kerri, just will crack you up! Josh designs websites for a living, had abandonment issues, and never owned a dog in his life. So, when he is confronted with poor prego Lucy, Josh freaks out but as he gets over his fear, he slowly begins to fall in love this four-legged creature. A wonderful, little, quick Christmas read!

Christmas with Tucker by Greg Kincaid
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

The prequel to A Dog Named Christmas, Christmas with Tucker is a wonderful companion read. George McCray goes back in time, when he lived on the McCray farm with his Grandma Cora and Grandpa Bo and became a man at the tender age of 12. George's beloved father had just died in a farming accident and he was torn between joining his mother and sisters in Minnesota or staying on the Kansas family farm and helping his grandparents. During his great loss and difficult choices, George remembers his father's simple rule, "No matter how much falls on us, we keep plowing ahead." A very touching and heartwarming book for everyone...

Love Dogs??

Dog House: A Love Story by Carol Prisant

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


A cute, funny little biography about a woman named Carol and her love/hate relationships with dogs. It's also a look at life with her mild-mannered husband, Millard, son Barden, and pet-challenged mother.
