"THE ART OF RACING IN THE RAIN"
Do you like dogs? Do you live with a special dog? Do you ever wonder what your FIDO is thinking? And if he/she could talk what would he say?
If you answered YES to the above questions then "The Art Of Racing In The Rain" is the book for you.
The paper back version has been on the best seller list for a long time. The story of a beloved dog and what he is thinking and what he would say if he could only talk.
"Enzo has spent years watching daytime TV, mostly documentaries and the Weather Channel (It's "not about weather, it is about the world"). And because Denny Swift, his owner, is a mechanic who's training to race cars, he and Enzo watch countless hours of race footage. So Enzo knows about the world beyond the Swift home near Seattle."
Enzo is convinced when he passes away he will be reincarnated as a man and he set out learning all he can about his human master and the other people around him. His favorite TV shows, including the Weather Channel, will teach him about human speech and behavior.
Some sad parts in this book but mostly delightful and fun to read.

Spring Time
What a beautiful day it is today. Sunny and mild. About 59 degrees. Perhaps SPRING is really on the way?
Hooray.
But wait a second. In the SPRING we get Carpenter Bees on our deck. Boring their little holes and sending their lookouts to fly around and guard their young. It is said Carpenters don't sting. but still...
We get pollen which causes sneezing and stuff.
early thunder storms and perhaps tornados.
cold days which nip the new growth of flowers and buds.
Oh Heck I don't care. I will take SPRING anyway it wants to come.
Warts and all.
In Spring we get lovely daffodils blooming
Dagwood trees with intricate white blossoms all over town.
more hours of sunlight so we can sit outside and enjoy the day into evening.
"Hurry up and say goodbye. Ole mean man WINTER."
