The Dog Days are here. It's hot, Independence Day is well past, and Labor Day is a long way off.
Here are a couple of books that can alleviate the summer doldrums:
• "Cat-echisms: Fundamentals of Feline Faith," by Ellis Weiner and Barbara Davilman
This is a fine example of the pet-persona genre, which many cat lovers probably will find endearing. "Cat-echisms," as the title suggests, bases its style on the Catholic method of outlining fundamental beliefs and principles through a question-and-answer series.
This is a small book and short enough so that you can read it in just one sitting or simply leave it on your coffee table.
• "Stay," by Allie Larkin
Finally, a bit of fiction to chew on. "Stay" takes a fur-laden twist when our heroine, Savannah, impulsively buys a puppy off the Internet. (I won't go into all the reasons why Internet pet sales are wrong, but the author does take pains to point out many of them.) If you've ever owned a big dog, you'll immediately identify with Joe and Savannah's first day together. The slobbery wake-up call. The harrying first walk with an excited canine. The big pile of poo on the carpet.
Yes, it's not your typical romance novel. But it's definitely worth a read.
