October is…

Book month and adopt-a-dog month.
To celebrate we’re giving away three books donated by Hachette Book Group.
- How to be Your Dog’s Best Friend by the Monks of New Skete. One of the classic books on dog training and one I’ve recommended to many people. I agreed to do the give-away specifically because Hachette included this book in the group.
- Dog Tags by David Rosenfelt. Rosenfelt writes dog-themed legal-thrillers. I read very little fiction these days, so can’t offer any advice on this one. If you win the drawing and send a review, I’ll be glad to post it.
- GoD and DoG by Wendy Francisco. I’m not a religious person, haven’t read the book and am not likely to - but the youtube video that inspired it recently generated a lot among my friends in the English Shepherd world so I thought it was appropriate to include it here.
If you’d like to enter the drawing leave a comment below. Make sure you include your real email address as that is how I’ll contact the winner. The winner will be chosen by a drawing to be conducted by the OddMan. Entries close Wednesday October 27, 2010.
The books will be sent to the winner directly by Hachette Book Group. I am receiving nothing (other than a wee bit of blog-fodder) for posting this.

My copy of the Monks dates from the seventies. Still holds up, but would love to acquire a current edition.
Of course, I’d still have to confront the fact that I have not enough time to read much. Nor enough time to write as much as I’d like. Nor get sufficient sleep. Nor cook like I used to. Nor ride my horse.
Damn those kids, cute as they are. They just don’t raise themselves.

Please enter me in the drawing.
And thank you again, Janeen for having volunteered a year ago to help little Charlie to recover and to live as a normal, happy dog. I think of him often and am grateful you were/are there for him.

God and Dog goes to any dog lovers heart, not that the others aren’t great books, but this one is exceptionally meaningful. What a wonderful idea!

I have watched some of the monks’ videos, and I see them as good, middle-of-the-road trainers. Did pick up the trick of pointing at my eye and saying “Watch me!” from them, but with my food-obsessed Chessie, holding a dog biscuit next to my eye works better.

I would also like to enter. I don’t own any of the books although I have read the Monks back when it came out.
