Chihuahua Meet-Up
Pepe visited the Seattle Chihuahua meet-up for the first time in almost a year. Chihuahuas are not the most sociable of dogs. They do not romp and chase each other, fetch toys and race around in circles like other dogs do; usually they just mill around and sniff butts. Which was just fine for Pepe.
I’m posting a video I took on my phone when a passel of new Chihuahuas arrived creating quite a stir amongst the company assembled at the doggy daycare where they meet.

Dog Novels Everywhere
Some members of our writing group help us locate novels featuring dogs in the shelves at Elliott Bay Book Company.
Janis is admiring The Art of Racing in the Rain by Garth Stein, which is a marvelous novel told from the point of a view of a dog. On the shelf beside it, Corduroy Mansions by Alexander McCall Smith, an author we love but this novel doesn’t have enough about the dog in it.
Curt is just across the aisle, standing beside two novels we haven’t read: Funeral for a Dog by a German author, Thomas Pletzinger (translated by Ross Benjamin) (Booklist says it’s a novel of postmodern suspense) and Charles Portis, The Dog of the South. Not sure if there’s even a dog in this one; it’s a comic novel that’s been republished.
What are your favorite novels featuring dogs?
