Jonathan Carroll is one of my very favorite authors...but you'll always have a tough time finding where his books will be as he is really in a genre all by himself...mystery, sci-fi, horror, fantasy...none are a correct category! But one thing is for sure, he is definitely a dog lover!!! Reading The Land of Laughs is a definite must!

It's not only ME that is subjected to Ma's shenanigans...She had to have my poor big sis get ahead of her "so she could show me off "...
(Max: Who are YOU kidding Ma...it was so you could catch your breath!) |
 |
| Jeez Ma...we could have gone to PetsMart and back already!....Come on! |
 |
| Ya know Ma, we probably could have done 2 laps to your 1 ...FitDog Friday...ha...maybe it should be FitHuman Everyday! ha ha! |
 |
| Hey Sis...wait...I think Ma might have a peanut butter treat!! Hey Ma, you, you...know I was only jokin' right and trying to motivate you, right??? Like a good coach would or somethin' and hey, I'm free of charge for the pep talk... So....umm...got any peanut butter treats???? You're lookin' mighty fit there Ma!! :) Have a beautiful day no matter how long it takes at times! |
Love that quote! Looks like you had a wonderful walk
ReplyDeleteWe did...always nicer when one of Ma's human children come along! They'll spoil me right!
DeleteGreat quote. I will have to remind Freighter of the first part of that quote when he is giving his handler a hard time at a test...lol.
ReplyDeleteHa! Love it! It was so wonderful to see all those beautiful babies today too!!!
DeleteWonderful quote, you sun on your walk, I got rain :( xx00xx
ReplyDeleteMollie and Alfie
You can come hang out with us in the sun anytime Mollie...oh, Chloe...I TOLD you she's JUST A FRIEND!
DeleteUh huh Max....sure! ;)
DeleteOur library doesn't have that book Max :( so Momz will look for it elsewhere...I know what you mean about those slow walkers...i always have to stop for Momz...she gets distracted by stuff and forgets to focus on ME! BOL!
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with that Gizmo?! Why don't they understand it's all about us?! Jeez...Humans!
DeleteI will look for that author...I'm always looking for new ones to try so thanks for the quote and recommendation.
ReplyDeleteI'll be curious to hear what you think! I've never had anyone who read one of his books end up not reading more of his.
DeleteThat is very true - is it any wonder that I like dogs more than people!
ReplyDeleteHope you got a peanut butter treat Max.

Ha, right! I figure the quote really didn't pertain to most of us folks or we wouldn't be here typing dog blogs but love the quote!! Oh, Max found a new "hit" in the Bark Box...Duck Jerky! He LOVES it!
DeleteAwww Max you look so wee and small! I love your little harness, hope you guys had a good walk, and love your quote! BTW WE NOMINATED YOU for a award http://kirbysdawgblog.com/2013/04/24/not-so-wordless-wednesday-poe-and-the-intruder/
ReplyDeleteAw, thanks guys :)...we could sneak a peek at your blog at lunch but couldn't comment,urrr! We'll come over here in a second now that Ma's home where she belongs! :)
DeleteLove that quote. Couldn't agree more. Oh wont you take Max to PetSmart so he can get a nice shirt :)
ReplyDeleteBut you know Ma too well....still not on sale and now our store location doesn't have anymore mediums...I KNOW I can con...I mean convince Ma to look at another store!
Deleteah we loved reading that..mom reads lots of books about dogs and she loves them, sometimes she cries tho. Her favorite one is called "the dog with the broken ear".
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing.

Ok, I'll tell Ma about that book...she's not as good as me at multi-tasking so poor Ma can't type and read....well, she is mostly human and all. Hey, she says thanks though cuz she likes good book recommendations...I like to read peanut butter treat bags...that are already open too...in case you're wondering Ma!
Deletethank you for sharing that marvelous quote, just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteYea, he's really an interesting man and fabulous author!
DeleteLove the quote! I wish I could express myself so eloquently.
ReplyDeleteYou and me both!!! I'm always that person that thinks of the clever reply about 4 hours later...
DeleteLove the quote Max. We hope you got your peanut butter treat and you didn't bump into any nasty dog. We felt for you the other day. Have a wonderful Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteBest wishes Molly
Nah, no nasty dog is gonna scare me...I just had to be bored while Ma talked to his human but Ma says we had to get right back up on that horse again quick....I think Ma's been drinking more than coffee though cuz I haven't seen any horse?!
DeleteThanks, for that great quote about us poochies. Got to tell you our Mom & Dad tell us how wonderful we are every day, and we get lots of huggies, kissies and much loving.
ReplyDeleteYep you need to motivate Mom, get the treats
The Mad Scots
You know I was thinking when I posted the quote, how it totally doesn't really apply to us guys since we even blog about our babies but I still love it so much I wanted to share it :)I think we all wish people would care more about their pups :)
DeleteWhat a beautiful quote!! :-D Seems like an incredibly intelligent human, if you ask me. ;-) Max, you are looking like you are totally enjoying your walk! Happy Wednesday!
ReplyDeleteAnd we didn't even have to give him a bone to say nice things about us guys either! We think he's a pretty decent human too! Yep, I love walking with my big Sis...she likes to get me all wild and running too! She's super cool!
DeleteGreat quote! I'm not familiar with that author. Thanks for sharing about him.
ReplyDeleteHe's a keeper for sure! But I'm still quietly hoping for a book 2 about Maggie :(...I really need to know what happens to her next! Want me to sit pretty?! :)
DeleteThanks for stopping by my blog Max. I see a lot of my friends leave you comments. I love to read, yes I do, I am a reader dog. I help little kids learn to read. One of your favorite authors, Jonathan Carroll has made a very true statement. We dogs are the best. Those laps are tough ~ keep trucking.
ReplyDeleteI only post on Monday and I hope you come back to my blog.
Sweet William The Scot
Ah, but no dog is ever JUST a dog!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed your walk.
No such thing as ONLY a dog. :)
ReplyDeleteA wonderful quote - definitely agree with that!
ReplyDeleteOne little energy bundle!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a lovely walk. And the quote? Too true!
ReplyDeleteWow! Carroll's quote will stick with me for a long time! I have never thought about life with a dog and the joy that it brings in that angle before, but it is soo true!
ReplyDeleteWhy do I not get any interesting treats - peanut butter - sounds yummy!
