My blogging pal Jackie Bouchard of Pooch Smooches just released her new book, What the Dog Ate. See it there on the table?

| Brooks and Kelly check out What the Dog Ate |
One day Jackie and I got laughing, thinking about how our two books related. Sure, there are some obvious differences…What the Dog Ate is a novel, and Dieting with my Dog is memoir. Kona of What the Dog Ate consumes a wide variety from the non-food group (just see the chart, below!), while my pup Kelly learns to eat healthy, nutritious snacks. But basically, both books celebrate dogs, eating, and overcoming life’s challenges.
Read on for your chance to win a copy of BOTH books!
But first, here’s our review of What the Dog Ate.
Brooks: Right away I loved this title. I mean, What the Dog Ate? Seriously, there’s a whole book about this? Yum! And may I also add, I seriously love the book’s hero, Kona. Now he’s my kind of dude. Okay, now over to Mom.
Me:
Brooks, this isn’t a “how to,” you know. Please don’t eat all those things Kona did. What the Dog Ate is a warm, funny novel about Maggie Baxter, who thinks she has life’s priorities in order. She lives with her husband of seventeen years and their chocolate lab, Kona. But Kona unwittingly reveals Maggie’s husband’s cheating ways. Let’s just say, what the dog ate–and brought back up–plays a key role by way of incriminating evidence.
Maggie deals with family, friends, divorce, and job pressures, all the while trying to carve out the best life for her and Kona. The question is, will she find a new man in her life?
From the book: “On the way home, she fantasized about how much better it would be if finding a new man was like getting a dog. You could go online and research the type you wanted. Would you prefer one who’d be a couch-potato with you? Or one that would fit into an active lifestyle? Toy or worker? Purebred or mutt? More influenced by scent or sight? Guard or companion?”
If you like a story of love and romance, with a great dog for a best friend, then What the Dog Ate is for you! Brooks and I highly recommend you check it out!
