I asked if she liked it and she told me it was "horrible". I know it had been years but I remembered it more fondly. Then she went on to explain to me about the dog and how it tried to save the other dog and was killed which promptly lead to tears in the backseat. I asked her if she would like to read the book together. I saw her face in the rearview mirror with this incredulous look and she said "you ARE kidding, right?"Kim Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14994994061317641228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-10898295992239505942011-02-23T23:09:25.175-08:002011-02-23T23:09:25.175-08:00I'm not a pet person either but I get sad when...I'm not a pet person either but I get sad when they are sad. I still remember moving to Las Vegas, we had to leave our dog behind. She sat on our porch and kept turning her head side to side and whined as we pulled away (she was already living with our neighbor but kept coming back to see us pack up, we didn't leave her there for dead). I cried for the first couple hours of our trip south. I'm sure some of it was dramatic effect at 12 but it left me realizing how much dogs love people and really want to help take care of them. Definitely endearing.melaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16160737120907349045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-72225274043340359102011-02-23T15:51:58.742-08:002011-02-23T15:51:58.742-08:00Oh my gosh I just read the cricket blog.

Homer graciously offered to take one, took it to his work and sold it for $50 bucks. BRING ON THE PUPS, I say.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15697868461644827794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-35798857561716464522011-02-22T17:22:24.650-08:002011-02-22T17:22:24.650-08:00Jane

Dogs can have such sad faces.

It is such a sad book. <br /><br />Your Old Dan is such a handsome dog!Deidrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188654735237821754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-21121336161026232002011-02-22T12:00:23.136-08:002011-02-22T12:00:23.136-08:00I love Good Dog, Carl!

Reading books with my children is one of my favorite parts of parenting.<br /><br />I'm not much of a pet person, either, but I love that picture of Old Dan and love that he picked up your ear warmer for you.michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14617050750444837628noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3234790858142513224.post-81656321865823887162011-02-22T06:55:33.399-08:002011-02-22T06:55:33.399-08:00Oh Jane.

I hadn't heard of the first two books you mentioned, and after the first reading of Where the Red Fern Grows, I couldn't read it again. Too much sadness. Maybe I should try it again? Maybe it isn't as sad as I remember.Susanhttp://www.unclutteringapyle.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
