subtitled A Dog's Self-Help Companion
by Max and Scooter
ISBN 0-345-42201-5There were a number I could have chosen first, but a friend just gave me this and I pulled some chest muscles trying to keep the laughs in on the subway home today. It features chapters like:
--Break the cycle of passive-aggressive chewing
--Confront feelings of mixed-breed inadequacy
--Promote heavy pettingHere's a brief excerpt from CH31, Heel Thyself:
"Consider the following homeopathic cures for these common concerns:
Appetite loss Sleep it off
Lethargy Sleep it off
Headache Sleep it off
Insomnia Sleep it off
Ticks Roll in the mud
Fleas Roll in the mud
Mange Roll in the mud
Dandruff Roll in the mud
Obesity Tell them to mind their own business"Or, from CH28, Eat More Grass:
"It is no coincidence that there is no such thing as a neurotic cow. Now, this is not because cows are particularly enlightened but because they have for years lived by a simple credo: You simply cannot eat too much grass."Lots of very funny pokes at self-help books, and lots of insight into canines as well.
Cheers,
Bob
