Star: (the Evil Genius) "Open up the book! Our front ends are much cuter!" Nova: (the Princess) "Mine is, anyway." Loki: (the Stud Muffin) "Umm..." Nova: "Put a leash on it Pee-Wee!" Loki: "Not so small!" Me: (the Author) "Okay, puppies. Why don't you guys save it for the inside of the book?" Star: (stating matter-of-factly) "They might as well. ... It don't get any better than this." Annie: (the Psycho-herder that adores me) "Yes, it does! Dad writes real good!" Nova: (who must always argue with Annie, regardless) "No, he doesn't." Cody: (correcting Annie's grammar ...because she can ...and will) "Real well." Nova: (because ...well ...just because) "Not that either." Me: (applying Puppy Politics and opening the back door) "Puppies go out." Puppies: (the pack heads out into the back yard to run or argue, or whatever) Yah. So. ...that's kinda how it goes. This is a book about my pack of pups - Border Collies and Shetland Sheepdogs, and a Golden Retriever. ...three of the top six breeds on the Dog IQ chart, and how I survive knowing that most of them are smarter than I am. Cody: "I prefer the term Canine Person. ... Mother let us back in through the other door."
