Smell the Roses or the Cat's Pajamas
We haven't had a giveaway in a while, so let's see if one of three new books that I have can end up on your bookshelves.
I have a hardcover book, "The Cat's Pajamas: 101 of the World's Cutest Cats" by Rachael Hale. It's a collection of photos of several different type of kitties looking just a little adorable. There's plenty of info about the cats, too.
Clearly I could not take it home because Thai, my egomaniacal kitty, is not in the book. He would take serious issue with the title. Yes, I know he can't read but somehow he just seems to know these things. You cat people know exactly what I mean.
I also have a softcover collection of Mutts cartoons titled "Stop and Smell the Roses." I know from counting thousands of comics ballots that we have a lot of fans of Patrick McDonnell's daily strip out there.
Finally I have "The Dog Lover's Companion to Washington, D.C.: The Inside Scoop on Where to Take Your Dog" by Katie Githens and illustrated by Phil Frank. This is a travel book that would be very helpful if you live in our nation's capital or plan to vacation there with your pooch.
Let's keep it simple: Post a comment indicating what book you would like to have (just pick one, please; greedy is not attractive), and I will put your name and selection in an empty Cookie Monster cookie jar here in my office. My adherence to the Weight Watchers program put an end to the cookie jar's productive days. He looks pretty lonely now and would welcome the work.
Winners will be determined by random draw. I will take comments until next Thursday morning and then pick three winners.
Good luck.
I would love to have the Cat's Pajamas book. My two cats SHOULD be in there! They certainly make my life better.
Poor cookie jar....glad to hear you are using it for SOMETHING. lol

My hubby and I as well as our 2 Dals would love to have the Stop And Smell The Roses as we love the comics and love all critters. Wish we could have them all but they would wear them out playing with them all day. Good use of the cookie jar!!!!!!!

Since I don't have a dog, I would really like to win Stop and Smell the Roses. My cat also would be jealous of the kitty book, but if it was a bird book, she might like that.

Dear Nona Nelson,
I'm glad your Weight Watcher's worked. Doesn't it feel great?
I would so much like to have "Stop and Smell the Roses". This past winter I bought Patrick McDowell's animal shelter book. I LOVE Mutt's! I even wear Mutt's pajamas!
I have a beautiful cat that was left to fend for himself on the streets. He's a wonderful guy! Just like the animals in the Mutt's strip.
