So as my Mom blogged, last weekend was Clarendon Day and it rained cats and dogs (no pun intended).  But all that rain got me to thinking about one of my favorite books -The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein. I love this book for many reasons, but primarily because it is narrated by a dog. Seriously, why aren’t more books narrated by dogs!?!?!  Hmmm, maybe it’s because, relative to the human population, dogs have far less access to the internet and computers. It’s really unfortunate actually, as dogs have some incredibly important things to teach people. Maybe I can talk to Bo Obama about putting internet access for dogs on the President’s agenda. After all, I think Bo is now polling higher than his master, so he’s got to use that to further the policy objectives of all dogs.

Oh wait…sorry…I’m off on a tangent. I can focus so easily when it comes to squirrels, but blogging is another story.  Anyway, back to the book. Enzo, the dog who narrates the book, proves that a good story is even funnier and more compelling when told by a dog.  Trust me – read the book and you’ll see.

Speaking of reading, I’ve been trying to start a book club for a while now, but most of the dogs I know prefer fetching to reading. I totally get that. To be perfectly honest, I’m not really an avid reader myself but I think it’s important to be a well-rounded pup so I try. So if you have any suggestions for my next Bow-Wow Book club, please leave me a comment with your recommendation. I trust you more than the NY Times!

WOOF!! (That’s dog-speak for leave a comment)
