Homer's Odyssey

Hi everyPUGGY! I am not sure how many of you remember the recent contest Teacher's Pets ran a while back. It was when she reached her 800th post -which is really a cause for celebration! Anyhoooo, she had a contest and so, of course, I entered. I love involving myself in contests and tests and drawings, and so on.

Well, as luck would have it, I WON! And I won a wonderful book called "Homer's Odyssey." My first question was - Isn't this wonderful Greek classic a little LOFTY for a young pug to read? The second was "Why is there a CAT on the cover?"


















It turns out THIS Homer is an eyeless cat. The book is Homer's approach to living life to the fullest and about the wonderful lessons having Homer has taught his Humom.



Thanks Ms. April for the wonderful read. I will let you know how I like it.

WHO Did You Say This SOUNDS Like?

Today I am doing a book REVIEW. Yes, I actually read it and I have to say it was a UNIQUE and MEMORABLE experience. It all began when Mommy #1 brought this book home from the library. I had NO IDEA that is what a library had inside. All I remember of the place is walking around the building, eating tan bark from the playground, and ending up in the EMERGENCY clinic by Midnight because I thought my TUMMY would burst.
But I digress.
The library is filled with these wonderful things called BOOKS and this one is FABULOUS!!!

Say Hello to Zorro
By Carter Goodrich

Initially I wanted to like this book because it is about a PUG! Look on the cover! It is so OBVIOUSLY a PUG!
But it was really about this OTHER dog named Mr. Bud who had this really SWEET living situation. He has his own space, his own dishes and BEST OF ALL, his own routine. The unseen HUMANS do his bidding, cater to his every whim. And he loves it.
One day, along comes Zorro and Mr. Bud's whole world is tossed UPSIDE-DOWN!!!!
I am not going to tell you how it TURNS OUT. But believe me - it had me riveted to every page.
You know what my Mommy said when we finished reading the book?
" Doesn't that sound familiar? Like SOMEONE we all know?"

I have NO IDEA who she is TALKING about!
