Just Puppies by Steve Smith
My rating: 5/5 cats
PUPPIES!
JUST PUPPIES!
okay, this title is a lie, because sometimes it is also puppies and hammocks:
or puppies and baskets:
but i suppose i’ll allow it, because the title PUPPIES AND ALSO BUNCHES OF OTHER THINGS is just not as catchy.
this is the only book i have ever read in which there are SO MANY pictures of puppies peeing:
i like puppies. but i have a line in the sand. most puppies are cutest between, say, eight weeks and eight months. after that, you pretty much want to toss ’em out and start over again.
i KEEED! but i’ve said this publicly before, so i figured i would mention it again, so greg didn’t come out and say it for me. i’m like the spokesperson for whatever the dog-version of nambla is.
like, this one? needs more time to bake – it doesn’t even have EYES!
while these are just about to peak:
this little guy never had a chance:
i wouldn’t toss this one, because he’s clearly got his priorities straight:
but this one – this one has clearly been brainwashed by the bird mafia:
into the chipper with you, doggie!
there are some excellent naughty dogs in this book:
and one that’s just getting started:
there are also many sad photos depicting the last moments in a number of feline lives:
RIP, kitties!
there’s also a fish in peril, but fish are quite tasty and not even a little bit fuzzy, so i didn’t feel much like weeping:
this one looks more like guilt over a stolen romantic moment than a meal-in-progress, so i think it’s safe. plus, doggits?? would be an adorable new species:
this dog is clearly being hypnotized, so that froggie is safe as houses:
you do not want to eeeeeaaat meeee…
(but you see what i mean about how misleading this title is?? “just” puppies, my foot…)
and for greg, who claims that he recognizes this expression as something i do. ME??? roll my EYES??? never!!
and for greg’s mom, because it’s been a while:
AND THAT IS A REVIEW OF PUPPIES!
