| I just picked up a book called "Only" written by Winston Groom (he also wrote Forrest Gump). The story is about a couple who aquires a sheepdog and how it grows with them. I haven't started it yet, I need to finish my bookclub book first. I think it is available on Amazon. Has anyone read it? To quote the back of the book - "a heartwarming and humorous dog's-eye view of domestic life and the world beyond the gate". |

I just went and looked it up, read the back cover, it looks amazing!!! That is SO cool to have the book written from the perspective of the dog!!!
I want that book! LOL |
You must tell us how the book is once you've read it.  |
| Is the book new? Can you purchase it at the book store? |
Here's where you can get it...
Only, by Winston Groom
It was published in 1998 if I read it correctly. |
| I read it a while ago & loved it! sue |
Our library system has it! 
So I have it on request.
Thanks so much for sharing it, I look forward to reading
the book. |
I met an OES recently named "Only" after the dog in this book (and he was the only one in the litter). The owner was showing "Only" at the dog show I went to in December. She told me about this book and I meant to write it down so I wouldn't forget to pick it up. Of course, I did forget, so thanks for the reminder! 
Let us know what you think when you finish reading it!
FYI, Ron -I'm ordering through the Amazon link you posted. Make sure the credit gets to you. Thanks!! |

Cool! Thanks.
Be sure to look into ordering enough stuff ($25) to qualify for free super saver shipping, otherwise the shipping on a $6 book is kinda high, I think. |
| Thanks Ron, I had forgotten about the link with Amazon. I am almost finished with my book club book and "Only" will be next. |
What are you reading for book club?
We have our meeting tonight. We're discussing Night Light by Terri Blackstock.  |
| I am reading The Flamingo Rising by Larry Baker. It is about a drive in movie theatre and the family that owns it. It takes place in Florida in the late '60's. It is ummmm....quirky? A fun read. |
| Well, I finished the book late last night.....have a box of tissues handy when you read it. Won't ruin the ending, but I almost couldn't finish it. But, it really made me think that is Sam really thought about things like Only, that would explain her behavior at times. A must read for any dog owner/lover. |
| I hope my copy arrives soon. I can't wait to read it!! |
FINALLY!! I received the book in the mail today. It's in great shape - looks like it has never even been opened and I think it is a first edition. Not bad for the money.
Now - to read it.... |
I read it too....yes Tammy you need tissues!
I really liked the book. |
| I just read this book on Friday night. Yes, Ron, I ordered it through the link. It is a great book |
