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!
