Apparently Bella and I are on a hot streak. First, she won a collar from Doggie Stylish. Then, I won a really cool book called For the Love of Dogs: an A-to-Z Primer for Dog Lovers of All Ages thanks to the wonderful Cosmo Havanese from To Dog With Love. (Go ahead and check out that awesome blog… I’ll wait.) Anyway, To Dog With Love gave away a copy of the book, and I won! (We should enter the lottery, right? Third time’s a charm, they say.)
The book, written by Allison Weiss Entrekin, is full of whimsical illustrations by Mark Anderson. It uses all 26 letters of the alphabet (even X) to present fun facts and wonderful info about our beloved pups. To give you a little taste, I selected a few letters at random. (As you’ll see, it wasn’t really that random.)
B is for Beagles
E is for English Foxhounds
L is for Labradors
L is still for Labradors
A is for Adoption
C is for Cavaliers
O is for Obedience
S is for Shih Tzus
M is for Mascots
O is still for Obedience
Here are some photos of Bella enjoying her new reading material.
Thanks again to Diane and Cosmo from To Dog With Love!

That book looks great, the Illustrations are really great, but honestly, the pictures of Bella with the book are priceless….incredibly cute!
How fun is that! Winning all kinds of stuff lately – go you! The pictures are fantastic, btw π
Ha, Bella! You look very engrossed in that book. Congratulations!
Diane & Cosmo – it was all inspired by you! π
Elyse – don't tell Bella I gave away her secret, but she just looks at the pictures. And wonders when I'm going to leave her alone.
Sharon/Cleo – thank you! I'm honored. π
Thanks to everyone for all of your sweet comments about the photos – I was just surprised I got Bella to cooperate for that long. She was feeling very tolerant that day, I think.
Lori – your winning ways put mine to shame!
Congrats! We share your excitement at this marvelous book too as we reviewed it awhile back – a beautiful & fun book! And you look absolutely adorable reading it! Congrats again!!!
