Ooh, goody, a dog book! We've got seven dogs at our house. Whoops -- that's eight with our mini poodle's new puppy. I'll have to go check out Mayra's book - -and that pet blog, too.

ps - Hey - please do me a favor - whatever you can, maybe post an announcement for me on VBT - my former blogs are gone - zapped by the evil Google Nazis - long story that I will not go into for fear of exploding in rage, but - new site is at http://theoldsilly.com
I'd post it myself but VBT is glitching on me and I can't post anything or even get into my data to edit anything! AAARGH!!
Love the cover of Mayra's book. Looking forward to reading more!
Ah, a little boy and a puppy - I can see where the CRASH! comes in. It sounds great.
And, I agree with Marvin, you certainly did pack a lot of information in a short post, Crystalee. Great Job.

Thanks for stopping by, guys. Tomorrow you will learn more about Crash! (it's a bonus post) and Thursday I have a great guest blog article from Mayra you wont want to miss.
Kids love dogs and need to learn how to take care of them. This looks like a fun book about puppies. Good luck with it.
Thanks for the great post, Crystalee and thanks to all for your comments!
