What the Dogs Have Taught Me And Other Amazing Things I'Ve Learned

"You Really Never Know When it Might be Cookie Time. That's What the Dogs Have Taught Me." award-winning comedy writer Merrill Markoe, the slightly warped mind behind Stupid Pet Tricks, is an old hand with dogs. She knows who's boss [they are] and the myriad ways a loving pet can make you feel guilty twentyfour hours a day. This new edition of Merrill Markoe's classic collection of humorous essays gives readers the choicest selections along with brand-new material. In these razor-sharp essays, Markoe recounts her dogs' phone chats with animal communicators, her search for past lives, and her brief stint as a stun gun saleswoman. She describes the workshop that taught her how to launch an Internet porn business and another that gave proper instruction in the esoteric art of becoming a dominatrix. She shares insight into what it is like to structure your day using only dog rules, how to spot a really horrible restaurant, and what it's like to have a romantic dinner with Fabio. There's even a bright side to preparing for the apocalypse: "At last, it is time to forget about fat grams and low cholesterol." This enchantingly rambunctious and boundlessly enjoyable book gives you Merrill Markoe at her best. You'll devour it in one sitting [and so may your pet].Markoe, Merrill is the author of 'What the Dogs Have Taught Me And Other Amazing Things I'Ve Learned', published 2005 under ISBN 9780812974508 and ISBN 0812974506.
