That's all sitting in the living room so I'll be forced to haul it outside to the dumpster. There's still some misc. stuff that I'm going to get rid of or replace. Phase 2 will be acquiring a new desk and getting my desk chair from my parents' house to here. Then I can add shelving, wall stuff, etc. That green chair is my favorite thing to sit on and I've missed it. I can't wait to put a lamp behind it and use it as my old lady reading chair! I have a really cute dog bed that will go next to it so Joy will have her own spot.</p><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/woopsorg?a=L90V7fKy6pg:shFNST4igHc:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/woopsorg?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://www.woops.org/2011/01/setting-up-my-home-office-phase-1.html tag:typepad.com,2003:post-6a00d8341c624253ef0148c730a9ab970c 2010-12-31T00:22:41-06:00 2010-12-31T00:22:41-06:00

Bruce Cameron</a> is very simple - it follows the lives of one dog, from rescued street dog, to deeply loved family pet, to hard working search and rescue dog. The twist is that these lives are lived out in several separate bodies, through four generations of owners. </p> <p>While it is a bit shmaltzy and emotionally manipulative in places, the humor and clever plot line keep you hooked until the end. If you love dogs like I do, expect that some parts will be hard to read without crying. And if you're a big baby like I am, you'll have to stop in the middle so you can squeeze your dog and cry at the same time. I cried more reading this book than I did while reading <em>Marley &amp; Me</em>. That's a lot of crying.</p> <p>I really enjoyed this book - it's a quick read that captures the depth of pure love and devotion that dogs have for their humans and vice versa.</p> <p>As far as books narrated by dogs, I did actually like <em><a href=" http://amzn.to/c5GIXk" target="_self">The Art of Racing in the Rain</a></em> better. I would recommend that book to anyone who loves good fiction. I'd recommend <em>A Dog's Purpose</em> specifically to dog lovers.</p></div><div class="feedflare"> <a href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/woopsorg?a=7UNw8HNGI98:378Rkq9WXxQ:yIl2AUoC8zA"><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~ff/typepad/woopsorg?d=yIl2AUoC8zA" border="0"></img></a> </div> http://www.woops.org/2010/09/book-of-the-week-a-dogs-purpose.html
