Dog Auction

A Great Loss

On Friday, November 16, 2007, we lost one of our very best and oldest of friends. Mooky was with us for 14 years, and was only 6 months older than that. Since Doug and I had no kids, she became our special baby. She was with us through it all; miscarriages, graduation, and job loss. She gave us many of our most joyful and memorable times. I hadn't realized what an integral part of my life she was until I had to let her go. My gut reaction was an intense desire to keep her here with me. I hadn't expected that. I've had to let dogs go before,... but not like this. Every day of the last 14 years, almost every minute, she's been there, part of my routine, my life. With her gone it's as if millions of tiny pieces of my heart have been ripped away. I never understood before when people would say they expected a recently passed loved one to walk in the door. It's like when you go on auto pilot while driving; you automatically turn some place because you have so often before.
We are 2 people and 3 dogs in one house, yet there seems to be such a hollowness here...

Different type of book

Of course it was the title that caught my attention. This is a totally different type of book than I would normally choose. It starts out kind of weird, but you get used to that after a couple chapters. Then you begin to see how funny it is. Cathy Lamb seems to have a knack for writing these hilarious scenes, usually dialog, and so unlike other funny dialogs I've read. This is a woman's book. I think most men probably wouldn't care for it, but I am loving it. I can't wait to see how it ends.

I really liked this book. Parts of it were very strange, but that becomes part of its charm. It's definitely worth the read!

The second Solomon v Lord

So far, this book is pretty good, though not as good as that bloodhound book.

Sofie Metropolis

Just read tonight that Stephanie Plum's are Sofie's favorite stories.

New book for club

Our book for September. It's very similar to my favorite Stephanie Plum series, only Sofie is Greek, and the hunk is Aussie.
