My Thoughts:

If you follow my blog, then you know that I am a huge animal lover, especially dogs.  We have two rescue dogs, who love us unconditionally.  We had to put down our first dog together, Manny, this past summer due to his declining health.  But, over the years, we have had some wonderful experiences with all three of our dogs, and have said to ourselves on various occasions, "I can't believe my dog did that?"  So, when I received review copies of both the dog and cat version from the folks at Chicken Soup for the Soul, I couldn't wait to read and see the situations that made others remark the same way.

I ended up sharing the cat version with a close friend, who just loves cats and has 10 of her own.  We both were able to read these books in one sitting, as they were hard to put down.  Like other Chicken Soup for the Soul Books, you will find yourself laughing one minute, and then tearing up the next.  But, by the time you get to the end of the book, you are so glad you sat down to read the book.  Even if you don't read these books cover to cover, you will still enjoy each of the 101 stories in them.  My husband loves to pick up the books in this popular series and chooses 1-2 stories at a time that catch his eye by their titles.  Because he has a love for dogs like I do, he couldn't stop with 1-2 stories and ending up reading the book in one sitting, too.

Don't ask us what our favorite stories were from these two books, as they were  all so enjoyable to read, and made you think about similiar situations with your pets.  And, even though Manny is no longer with us, reading some of these stories brought back wonderful memories of the great times we spent together, and really helped with the healing process.

And, with the holidays right around the corner, these books would make for a great gift idea for cat and dog lovers.  So, if you are looking for just the right gift to give to someone, or even ask Santa for, why not consider "I Can't Believe My Dog Did That!" or "I Can't Believe My Cat Did That!"  Those who get a chance to read these books, will love the 101 stories about the crazy antics of our furry friends.
