Sorry I Pooped in Your Shoe (and Other Heartwarming Letters from Doggie) by Jeremy Greenberg

If dogs could use the computer and Microsoft Notepad, this is what you would get. Absolutely the funniest thing I've read in a long time. You really don't have to be a dog person to appreciate the humor in these "doggie missives".  Oh, and make sure you change your password to your computer so the cat can't ghost write as the dog.

Honestly, If you love dogs as much as I do, you will roar with laughter! Several of the situations in the book were all too familiar to me and my family.

Code Blue Book Review

The following review is one I also posted on Amazon.com. If I like a book, I let the world know. If I don't, I still let the world know. I'm sort of funny that way. This book was great but as I said below, it had a very unexpected ending.

"I really enjoyed this novel but was a bit surprised when it ended. I had downloaded this novel for free when it was offered free for Kindle and started reading it one night when I had nothing better to do. The plot did reel me in for most of the book but seemed to rush to finish the ending. It was a great Christian novel in that it addressed the subject of coming back to God after major life disappointments but as a mystery it could have been fleshed out a bit more before you got to the end. Thank you for the free download."

A Gathering Of Crows

I bought this novel at a discount book store and WOW! was I surprised. It was excellent. I had never read Brian Keene before but I will be buying his novels now. I can't believe I overlooked this author. If you are a fan of horror as I am, you will want to start reading his novels.


I posted this review on Amazon.com simply because it was a great novel and I wanted everyone else to know how truly fantastic it was. 




"Very seldom does a horror novel grip me these days like "A Gathering Of Crows". The last time was when I read Stephen King's novel "It". I have very little time to read these days but I finished this novel in two days! If you love a good horror read, you're going to love this one!"

Wolf's Trap

I read this novel in one day. After I started reading, I couldn't put it down. The review I put below is one that I also posted on Amazon.com.

This Bram Stoker award winner is a wonderful blend of supernatural and serial killer. The serial killer who knows the identity of the werewolf is a wonderful twist on the same old paranormal/supernatural theme. Gagliani has a handle on what it takes to be a horror novelist and he richly deserved the Bram Stoker award. Five stars all the way on this one. 


This book was NOT given to me and I bought it because it looked like something I would enjoy. 

The Boy Who Came Back From Heaven

Book Review:


I read this book with some trepidation and quite a bit of skepticism. As a Christian, I believe we have an afterlife to look forward to and enter into with great joy. I have read several of the "I went to Heaven and came back." books, this one was very touching. The only thing I saw that didn't mesh up with the tiles was that this narrative didn't tell much of what Colton saw in Heaven. But,I believe God doesn't want us to know much more than what is in the Bible for fear we would want to go ahead of his scheduled time for us. 

However, the story of the parent's struggles and God's amazing grace toward this family gives me such encouragement I intend to read it again and again. I highly recommend it for Christian reading and for those who are feeling themselves drawn toward God.

May Musings

Well, the family reunion is over. The company have left and we have a decently clean house....again. We love our family and would love to live by them but it would be impossible. To leave our children and grandchildren would be agonizing. We had fur children guests as well and we loved it! What well behaved fur children they were! Gizmo, Rosita, and Choco were here as our guests. Our fur children, Jordan and Emmalita, loved seeing their far away father, sister and cousin and had a blast with them here. Treats were given freely and love was too. So, on to the "to do" list today. Thank you for your readership and for your patience.

Wondering About Things This Afternoon

Good afternoon everyone! We are currently in the process of spring cleaning if you can call it that since it takes me until fall to get it  all done. LOL  I have the wonderful privilege of sitting her and looking out my window at our bird feeder and seeing all of the little birds that come and go to get food. I've seen a goldfinch, a cardinal and several other species which I can't identify. God is good to us. We have been stressed out quite a bit but hopefully things will get better.

We are going to feed our son and daughter in law's dogs and cats this evening since they have left for the weekend for a much needed break. I have no idea why, but it seems everyone is so stressed these days. Strange weather patterns, lots of stress, son against father and father against son. Does all of that sound familiar dear readers? We saw 30 minutes of news about all of the deaths and devastation in the Southern part of the US and 7+ hours of coverage of the royal wedding. I think we all have our priorities wrong. It makes me wonder sometimes but I guess the news media gives the general public what they want.

Our dogs are happy and, at the moment, healthy and I thank our Lord for that. We all have a lot to be thankful for and remember always that someone loves you, you may have to search for them, but they are there nonetheless.
