Before and After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy, and Well-Behaved Dog by Ian Dunbar
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Fudge is starting her puppy classes next week. The trainer recommended that we read BEFORE AND AFTER GETTING YOUR PUPPY by Dr. Ian Dunbar in preparation for the training. I love the positive training concept. I have applied this concept with all my furbabies. Although this book is excellent for people who are getting or are planning to get a young puppy, the book does not address how to train a furbaby who is a teenager. Fudge is now six months and has missed several months of opportunities to learn basic skills such as walking beside you, coming on command, laying down when asked or not being afraid to meet new people. She is a bright dog and already has made leaps and bounds in her training. She can walk without pulling, sit and give paws, and she loves meeting new people. We are working with her to learn to lay down or come on command, and rollover. She will get there; I have no doubt. Unfortunately, this book is not what will help us get her there. It is still an excellent book and I recommend that you read it if you have a young pup or are planning to get one.

Review: Fight For Her by Liz Plum

Fight For Her by Liz Plum My rating: 3 of 5 stars 📚 Hello Book Friends! FIGHT FOR HER by Liz Plum is a coming-of-age YA Romance. It is an easy-going story about a love triangle between a popular girl, a star athlete, and a bad boy. The story was interesting and had some potential. It was just a bit too juvenile for my taste and sometimes too dramatic. It is nonetheless an enjoyable love story if you put your teenager's thinking cap on. The author delivered a good story with a lovely ending. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstagram #bookstagram #dogsandbooks #bookishlife #bookishlove #bookstagrammer #books #booklover #bookish #bookaholic #reading #readersofinstagram #instaread #ilovebooks #bookishcanadians #canadianbookstagram #bookreviewer #bookcommunity #bibliophile #fightforher #lizplum #bookreview View all my reviews

Review: Asking for a Friend by Kerry Clare

Asking for a Friend by Kerry Clare My rating: 3 of 5 stars Kerry Clare's ASKING FOR A FRIEND is a beautifully crafted exploration of the enduring bond between two women, Jess and Clara, who meet in university and embark on a journey through life's tumultuous terrain. This character-driven narrative delves deep into their complex friendship, which spans two decades and weaves through love, heartbreak, marriage, anxiety, and the multifaceted challenges of motherhood. Clare's storytelling skills shine as she navigates the ebb and flow of their relationship, capturing the essence of female camaraderie. This book celebrates the strength of female friendships, emphasizing the significance of history, familiarity, and loyalty in sustaining these connections over time. The novel also fearlessly tackles contemporary issues affecting women, from the right to choose to the emotional toll of motherhood. #bookstadog #poodles #poodlestagram #poodlesofinstagram #furbabies #dogsofinstag

Review: Waves by Ingrid Chabbert

Waves by Ingrid Chabbert My rating: 5 of 5 stars WAVES, written by Ingrid Chabbert and beautifully illustrated by Carole Maurel, is a deeply personal and poetic graphic novel that explores the profound journey of a young couple trying to conceive. Drawing from the author's own experience, the story delves into the emotional depths of heartbreak, resilience, and the power of hope. The use of metaphors in Waves is exceptional, creating a mesmerizing reading experience. Chabbert skillfully weaves together the themes of writing, coping, and healing, forming a profound connection between the protagonist's pain and her quest for renewal. The dreamlike illustrations by Carole Maurel add an ethereal touch to the narrative, particularly in the visual depiction of the boat and waves of paper. While the subject matter is emotionally intense, WAVES is an extraordinary work that invites readers to embrace vulnerability and contemplate the complexities of life. I highly recommend this gra
