Best Defense in re-runs 'til Labor Day, but you can get busy with these reading lists

With my book all done, and ready to be published
Oct. 30, I've decided to take a break from the blog. This is partly because I
plan on doing several overnight camping trips this summer, mainly during
weekdays, and also because I just want a breather.

Between
now and then, Best Defense will be in re-runs, re-posting some of the more
interesting items from 2009, 2010, and 2011. For those of you who joined us
only recently, it will be a chance to catch up on the past discussions. I've
also asked Best Defense's chief canine correspondent if she wants to do a "best
of" series of re-runs on Fridays with her War Dog of the Week column.

Also,
to keep you busy til September, today I'm posting two items on reading
lists.   

C U
after Labor Day. Between now and then, I will surface on occasion with comments
that can't wait, as well as some guest posts.
