I read a lot of dog books.
I read enough dog books that when people ask me to recommend a good book that came out lately, I really have to search my mind for something I've read in the past month that wasn't a dog book. Not a whole lot of people talk to me about books anyway, so I've let it go.
Why do I read this many dog books? Clearly there's a point at which they become repetitive. Also, if they're training books, I may not agree with methods, or it maybe be skills that Elka already has. While these things are frequently the case, and sometimes I don't make it through them, other times I find one that I love. And reading a really good dog book makes me more mindful, both of myself, and my dog. Bones Would Rain From the Sky, by Suzanne Clothier, is one of these.
