Someone on this board suggested in a post the book "Marley and Me" by John Grogan. I wish I could remember who it was, because I read it based on that suggestion and have to say that it was a very good book. For anyone who has ever had a dog who you thought was difficult to train or even a little hardheaded (not any of our doxies), you will thoroughly enjoy this book. I laughed so hard in some parts and I cried in others and recommend it to everyone.
