Agreed. One more good reason to check the back- common courtesy!

My pleasure. I just wish I had been more punctual. To reference your desk’mind analogy, let’s just say I have a very cluttered desk.

It’s not something I’ve heard of before, but it’s a very nice idea!

I thought the book was the perfect vehicle for shelters to hand out to new adopters – it would definitely cut down on the number of after adoption calls asking “why” “how” “what does it mean when..” which would be a terrific thing;-D Don’t get me wrong – we love our adopters, but it’s got to be frustrating to any person to feel so dependent. I found Edie’s book to be so incredibly well organized that it would be quicker for people to pick up that book than find perhaps less credible information online. Empowering:)

Ok, wow! I need to testify that I am not related to Harriet — nor did I pay her — but am herewith in her thrall.

this is kinda like hotdogs. I reserve my right to know what’s in them if I want, but don’t really wanna know. And I certainly would pass out cold if I was escorted in during a tooth extraction! Thanks to all you vets on this blog who strive to care for us humans as much as your patients -we appreciate you! \(^o^)/

I think “Am I Boring My Dog?” is brilliant in its wit, its thorough research and its eminent readability. Although I understand your single quibble, Dr. V, I find the sign in my vet’s office announcing, “tour of premises available upon request” very comforting–so much so that I’ve never requested. Viva “Am I Boring”! Viva Edie! Viva Frankie!

Thanks for the review – I’ll see if I can get the book online. As a ‘crazy cat obsessed’ person (sounds more tragic than a ‘dog obsessed’ for some reason!) I will look out for this as we have 3 large dogs in our extended family so I am always keen to learn more on dogs!

When Sweet Prince was put to sleep, they allowed us to take him out through the lab and procedure areas, out the back door to take to our car, (to take home to bury him.) I would have been horrified if someone were taking a tour of the back “sanctuary” and seeing us carry out beloved pet out, our face all puffy with the tears and snot. I would have been horrified if I had to see that while taking a tour.
Thank you Edie for acknowledging that. Thank you Dr. V for reviewing this book. It is now on my list to purchase.
