When I started reading this book, I had no idea what I was getting into. I just noticed that this book was getting rave reviews and I had to check it out for myself.

I opened this book around midnight one night when I was having trouble sleeping, thinking that after a couple pages my eyes would get heavy and I could fall asleep. I was so wrong. I couldn't put it down once I cracked it open. Needless to say, I didn't get any sleep that night.

Never in my dreams would I think that I could find someone who could not only match my sense of humor but could also express it in crappy drawings. I laughed so hard and out loud from the very beginning. The pictures were hysterical and I just couldn't get enough.

The author writes about her own life experiences with her dogs, her procrastination and even her bout with depression, but in a way makes you see it all from a different perspective. I thought that by adding the pictures that it kind of brought that short stories to life, especially when she was trying to test her dog's intelligence, or lack thereof.

I would recommend this book to just about anyone. This book will have you in stitches and if not, then there is no hope for you because I don't know how anyone could read this book without at least one good hearty laugh here and there.
