We have winners!

We had five people share their stories of doggy misbehavior in our "Good Dog Gone Bad" contest. All five stories were entertaining, and I was really stuck choosing just two. So, since I happened to have five dog-related books here in my office, I decided everyone is a winner!

I know. I am wimpy. I admit it and I am not ashamed.

I decided to give "The Dog Behavior Answer Book" by Arden Moore to loyal blog reader Deborah, whose sweet little dog sounds like quiet a handful. My favorite line in Deborah's story about her frisky little female puppy: "She had a dog trainer last year...that woman left town."

I wonder how much encouragement canine Katie needed from Amanda to destroy Amanda's future-husband's couch. Amanda wrote that after Katie de-stuffed the unattractive piece of furniture, "I was THRILLED. I hated that sofa anyway! I had nothing to do with it - I swear!" Uh-huh. Sure, Amanda. Anyway, you win the book "Before Your Dog Can Eat Your Homework..." by former "Seinfeld" star John O'Hurley.

Dana, whose two cattle dogs decided to repot her mother's freshly watered plant, wins "Dogs We Love," a collection of dog stories edited by Michael J. Rosen.

Demi the roaming Jack Russell’s pet mom, Laura, is awarded "The Dangerous Book of Dogs" by Rex and Sparky. Perhaps Demi can contribute a chapter if there would be a second edition.

Finally, longtime loyal blog reader Kim takes home "Puppy Chow is Better than Prozac," a novel by Bruce Goldstein. Kim's story was about her childhood dog Molly who devoured Kim and her sister's unattended Easter candy.

If all the winners could please send your mailing addresses to nona.nelson@roanoke.com, these books will be on their way to you this week.

Thanks!
