However, I wish it were one of my dogs; Snickers, Tootsie Roll or Butterfingers, known as Butters.

If you'd like to see my dogs, please check out my brand new book (this month). A fun neighborhood dog show. The competition is to determine who's dog is the BIGGEST NERD! A fun romp though the nerdy hobbies, interests and peculiar obsessions of THE NERD HERD. A fun surprise ending.

Justin Matott

Shel Silverstein

“How many slams in an old screen door? Depends how loud you shut it. How many slices in a bread? Depends how thin you cut it. How much good inside a day? Depends how good you live 'em. How much love inside a friend? Depends how much you give 'em.”
Shel Silverstein

“Be who you are and say what you feel, because those who mind don't matter, and those who matter don't mind.”
Bernard M. Baruch
