Top 5 Dog Books For Kids
I've found that when I read to the young kids, or when helping the older ones learn to read, books about animals are a great resource. Kids are drawn to animal stories, plus it gives you an excuse to make all the funny noises you want! Here are the top five favorites with the kids I know. Maybe your kids, or the kids-at-heart, will enjoy them too!

Happy Doggie Halloween!
Halloween is getting closer - even if the weather here in NJ feels more like May! If you hurry, and your dog is willing, you can still find or make the perfect costume. Or, if your dog is like my cockapoo Bailey, perhaps costumes aren't an option. Well, you can still have that festive puppy holiday flare with a Halloween Bandana.
