Tall Reader recently shared two dog books with me. Really Important Stuff My Dog Has Taught Me, by Cynthia L. Copeland was my favorite. Full of wonderful pictures and wisdom about (and from) dogs it produced many chuckles and nods of agreement from me as I read it.

Dog Songs: Thirty-five Dog Songs and One Essay, by Mary Oliver, was almost as good. 'Songs', in this case mean poems and while these did indeed tell a story, I really do prefer poems that rhyme! I read these together, which seemed fitting, and was just the thing for a rainy (and chilly) spring evening.
