Holiday book ideas
From Baghdad, With Love: A Marine, the War and a Dog Named Lola. Lt Col. Jay Kopelman Timeframes are a little disjointed because the author jumps back & forth. Very heartwarming story. It's Okay to miss the Bed on the First Jump: John O'Hurley. Cute - author sounds just like his TV characters. He truly is a dog-lover. A Three Dog Life:Abagail Thomas. Sad story but interesting memoir of how dogs help a woman whose spouse is brain-damaged. For mystery-lovers, two fictional series to enjoy. Susan Conant, author - Holly Winter and Malemutes set in Cambridge, MA LaurienBerenson, author - Melanie Travis and Standard Show Pooples set in Conn. Happy reading and gift-giving! this should all be available at your local library for your own reading! Joan  |

cool  thanks mrs ron  |
| I second both Conant and Berenson.
Every so often, since I'm a big fan of the (usually) "lighter" mystery genre, I think it would be fun to write one that included a cast of - of course! - performance OES. But then I remember that there would be an readership of about 7, one of them would be my mother - because she'd feel obligated, not because she understood a word of it - and half of them would recognize their dogs as part of the characters and sue me!!! 
Training books are always high on my wish list, so, of course, my family all rush out and buy me SWEATERS. 
Though I always get the latest Dick Francis book (if there is one) from my aunt who started that whole addiction about a quarter of a century ago. That's a traditional birthday gift though. Kerry - any good training books you'd add to Joan's list? I've been bad about keeping up with my reading this past year. Kristine |

1)Susan Garret e-book for weave training (the dvd is coming out in January); 2) Play together stay together - McConnell 3) an old clean run motivation issue 3) Flatwork: Foundation for Agility (Levenson) 4) Agility Tricks (Duford) Can't say how good any of them are since they are mostly to be read. recommendations : 1) Control Unleashed - mcDivitt 2) Virgil Holland's Progressive Training (herding) 3) Ann Witte's DVD (herding) and on my to get list: MINE! |

Thanks, Kerry! I've had the herding book for a few years now, it was a birthday gift, and finally read it after my run-in with the goats 
I love anything by Patricia McConnell. And of course everyone has been talking about Control Unleashed. I've got to get back into reading. Kristine |
