Tails From the Bark Side
12 journalers for this copy...
Dogs do the doggonest things. They often make us laugh, usually outsmart us, and sometimes break our hearts. No creature can top our canine friends in showing us the absurdities of life and even sex ... or in teaching us about kindness, courage, and love. Now America's number-one dog trainers, Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson, tell us their favorite stories in a book as warm and wonderful as James Herriot's delightful Yorkshire tales, but set in our world and our time.
This book was hilarious at times and truly touching at others! I love dog stories. U..U I read this awhile back and would like to read it again before completely letting it go but that won't be for awhile yet so in the mean time, I'm sending it out in a Book Ring so others can enjoy it as well!UPDATE -> This ring is now complete and the book is heading back to Alaska to be (probably) reread and then released... Glad everyone got a chance to enjoy it! =)
Release planned for Friday, March 26, 2004 at Sent to Fellow BookCrosser in Book Ring!, n/a Controlled Releases.

This book was great. Some of the stories made me sad but most of them made me laugh out loud. I loved the story of the dog who liked female humans a little to much.
Waiting for the address of the next participant so I can send it out.

This book arrived today. I love dogs just as much as I love books so this is a good combination!
Yes, I certainly loved the stories. A good mix with comic and seriousness, like it is to be with dogs. Sadness too now and then, I'm especially thinking of Brian's "Irish". Some "tails" too short though, I would like to know a little more about some of the dogs and their humans.
Now the book is going over to Canada.

Thanks ecmwfinswe! This book arrived during the Christmas holidays - unfortunately we are having computer problems at home, so I had to wait until I was back at work to make a journal entry. I'll add a picture when I can, but until then, there is a picture of my sweet little guy (a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel) on my bookshelf. He loves to snuggle up on my lap while I read...actually, he loves any activity that keeps me sitting down for long periods of time!
I loved this book! The stories range from touching to hilarious, but make some good points about what owners can do to ensure their dogs are happy and well behaved.Thanks for starting the bookring havfaith!
Mailed to Pyan on Jan. 7. Enjoy!
Arrived in the today's mail. Can't wait to read it.
It came in a half-open package, but the book itself appears to be okay; little water damage, but not too bad. Really seems like the postal service had fun with this one :(

Oh, such a beautiful book with so many heart-warming stories (though a couple made me cry). This is a wonderful book! Thank you so much for sharing.
Just an update ... no response to PMs or ISO in the forums for the two people after me.
I'm now trying to reach Roelina & have sent update PMs to the originator of the ring.

Received today, going to the top of the TBR list! All of the pup pictures enclosed are a lovely touch, and my puppers pics will be in there when it leaves my hands!
Laugh out loud funny in some parts, poignant to tears in other parts; once again proves that some of my favorite people are dogs! It's prompted me to buy one of their training books. My whole family enjoyed a number of the stories read out loud. Ready to pass on!
'Tails' has arrived in Australia, along with a lovely cumulative collection of doggy photos from ring participants. Very nice (photos AND idea). I'll see if I can find a photo of my sister's legendary red setter, known in our family as Seamus the Wrecker. He could mow all the cups off the coffee table with one blow of his tail, and empty the gold fish pond with two mighty wallows.I see there's a story about a Jack Russell in the book. Good. That'll be entertaining!

This arrived safely in Minnesota. I can't wait to read it! It will need to sit for a little while before I can dive in since right now my allergy to cigarette smoke is acting up when I open the pages, but hopefully it will be appa-safe soon and ready to be enjoyed yet again. In the meantime, it will have plenty of company on my TBR stack (at one point there was a shelving unit under all the books somewhere, but I think the books ate it as I haven't seen it for months now... *G*). I live with two pooches, Duke CGC (4 year old yellow lab mix rescue) and Layla (4 month old terrier mix rescue). I am also owned by one Cat, Trouble (7 year old Siamese/Tabby mix rescue). I am a lead instructor for Paws Abilities Dog Training and also work part-time as an animal caretaker at Paws and Claws Humane Society (which is incidentally where I fell in love with Duke and Layla).
The journal photo is of Duke and Layla sharing a bone shortly after Layla came home with us.
This was a quick, fun read. Thanks again for sharing! On the subject of dog training, I ran into the lady who surrendered Layla to the dog shelter at a local pet store last week. I was amazed at what she told me! She kept going on about how aggressive Layla was with other dogs and her, and how she was always getting bitten. Since we've never had any problems (and in fact, Layla is one of the most dog-social puppies I know), I can only guess that she wasn't getting any positive boundaries in that lady's house and so decided to run the show herself. It's amazing what a difference a little positive leadership can make! ;)
The journal photo is of Duke after an especially muddy trip to the dog park. More picture of Duke and Layla are available at my website, Crossroads.
