Books, books and more books

I just picked up a couple of books on dogs.  Our Boozer is "spoiled" because he dictates what we do around here, sound familiar?  Well, he can tell time.  He knows when it is time to wake up in the morning, he dictates when he is to be taken on his walk, knows when it is bedtime, and also chases the racoons in the yard at night, when we are ready to go to bed.  He knows all the words for those activities....including, "we are going to church now, stay"...warns us when people come to the house, or drive up to the front.  We are totally his puppets.  I also got other books today, Secretariat, newly paperbacks, Greg Mortensen's new book about his adventures in the high countries in and around the hot spots in the world, like the Mt. Everest areas, all those "stans"....he's an amazing man.  I like real life, true story type books.  This one about dogs is a research book by Horowitz, who teaches Psychology now in New York City.  I have a list of books I want to read, but I will have to finish these first, and then I want to reread some books.  But all of that will have to wait until our bedroom is finished, and I will have a reading corner.  Sorry no pictures this time.  I will put pics on here when the house is finished.
