Your dog is so adorable! Good luck on potty training him. We had a dog once and nicknamed it Logger as you will soon see why. He pooped in every room of our house. He was not very bright. Oops! I know! Well, he was stubborn in the dept. of potty training.

I would recommend for light romance reading, Whose Number is Up, Anyway? by Stevi Mittman. This is a fun murder mystery. The two main characters Teddi and Drew have an on again, off again romance. Also, I love Jennifer Crusie’s books, oh and there are always Carly Phillip’s books that are just delightful in the steamy, hot passion dept. Oh that’s right, that is your books! Ha, ha! Hey I love your books Carly! I couldn’t help myself!
Oh hey I just read a fun romance book that is a quick read. It is “She Did a Bad, Bad Thing” by Stephanie Bond. It is about an average looking gal who wins the lottery. She heads off to Vegas for a wild weekend and a beauty makeover! Surprises await her and she just might win the man of her dreams. Have a fun vacation Carly!

How about those Hot Zone books by Carly whats her name. Oh, wait, that is you. LOL.

How about Building Dreams by Ginna Gray - an oldie if you can find it. I read it a few mos ago while in Fla. Or any one of SEP’s Chicago Stars books - I re-read that one in Fla. - Did a lot of reading while there. Manhunting by Evanovich was v.g.

Hope Buddy heals up fast.

Karen,

Those are very cute. You must have unlimited patience–I don’t think training my children was that difficult–LOL.

As I mentioned in yesterday’s post, I loved Suzanne Enoch’s Contemp series which starts with the first (& best), FLIRTING WITH DANGER. I call it a Romantic Mystery, but, that sounds more mystery than it is. Sam (heroine), cat burgler who only steals artwork from rich people (not museums), gets caught stealing by Rick (hero), rich, English businessman with royalty connection. He’s ready to call police & turn her in, when she sees a wire with grenade attached ready to go off, & saves his life. He doesn’t call police & they work together to find who set the granade & who was its target. She’s sexy, smart & brash: he’s sophisticated, intelligent & suave. This is a crackling good fun, sexy, romantic series. So far, 2 sequels, the latest 2-1 book entitled TWICE THE TEMPTATION, first 1/2 about a necklace during early Historical age: 2nd, a great story about the necklace with Rick/Sam & 3rd sequel due out 10/1. Any book can be read separately, though, I think FWD would help if read lst. This is not gory or scary, just clever. Dialogue, frank & sexy–chemistry great.

Also, liked the S. Mallery’s “one” series, beginning with THE SPARKLING ONE, set in CA wine country. This recently rereleased.

Hope you have a great vacation, with family, & those good books.

Buddy and Bailey are so cute. Thanks for the update.

I just got back from vacation and I would recommend Rachel Gibson’s, “Tangled Up In You,” and Nora Robert’s “The MacGregor Brides.”:thumbsup2:

We had the same problem trying to train our pup. What finally worked was utter consistency. We took her out to the bathroom literally every 1/2 hour when we were awake for the first week, (we set a timer) then every 45 minutes for two more. Then we did every hour for about another month, gradually increasing to every two hours. Every time she went in the right place, she got a top shelf treat. At night, my husband stayed up late and I got up early so she had only a total of about 5 hours in her crate. We also hung bells on the door which we rang every time we took her out.

The accidents stopped, but it took about three months before she could be counted on to ring the bells if we were in the room, a year before she would do it if we were upstairs and she was two before we left her alone and uncrated. Even at three, we never leave her alone in the house for more than four hours and crate her at night.

Carly,

Oh, bless their hearts! There is nothing like having a dog. All that unconditional love wrapped up in fur and the sweetest faces on the planet. We have a miniature dachshund named Spike. He is 11 1/2 and completely spoiled. He’s our little “brown child”.

Give Buddy a big healing hug and Bailey a kiss on her adorable face. :-) Those guys are too cute.

As for light reading…I love Rachel Gibson and Susan Elizabeth Phillips when I’m looking for something light. Carl Hiaasen is also just plain fun to read. He’s got the whackiest characters and plots.

lol I like the idea of house breaking husband and kids…all though, I think that would be a life long job

Jeanine, I think Yorkie’s train faster than any other dogs, I’m not sure what it is but our Yorkie was pretty much trained the first week we had him, we just showed him where to go and that was that.

Poor Buddy:cry: I’m glad he’s doing better. and that Miss Bailey is being a good sister to him.

As for the light read I always enjoy Donna Kauffman, she has a new release that just came out and I can’t wait to read called The Black Sheep and The Princess…my favorite’s were Cinderella Rules, Not So Snow White, and Sleeping With Beauty.
Hope you have a relaxing vacation
