Doggy and son's best bedtime book - The Napping House by Audrey Wood and Don Wood

"It is raining outside.  Inside, a grandma is snoring.  In a cozy bed is joined by a dreaming child, a dozing dog, and a sleeping cat and mouse, but when a wakeful flea gets into bed, everyone gets a surprise."

We love this book!  The rhythm of the story helps put our son and doggy  to sleep every time.

This book is translated by Alma Flor Ada and F. Isabel Campoy.

Merry Christmas Doggy!














Merry Christmas!

Chasing a holiday bone (shaped like a candy cane), while wearing a wreath-collar:





Doggy's favorite holiday book, The Gift of Nothing, by Patrick McDonnell






Our doggy's favorite holiday book this season is The Gift of Nothing, by Patrick McDonnell.  It features a dog and a cat who are friends, and is written by Patrick McDonnell who is the creator of the award-winning comic strip Mutts.  He lives in New Jersey with his wife, Karen, and their dog, Earl and their cat, MeeMow. Patrick's website is www.muttscomics.com.

As People magazine described the book, it is "A sweet tale with a Zen message.

This is a sweet book!  It's about a special day where Mooch wants to give his best friend, Earl, a gift. But what do you get someone who has everything?  The book tells how Mooch searches high and low for...the gift of nothing!
