As everyone knows who follows my blog, you know I am all about the DOGS!  I review A DOG’S PURPOSE before it was released and this is a quick review (sorry SPOILERS!) but I think if you watch the trailer, you get the idea.  I have a real review HERE – This book is for anyone who loves dogs or was ever owned by a dog.

Starts reading book, OMG I LOVE THIS — It has a dog that speaks to me.

Wait, OH NO!  the dog dies, but then everything is ok and the dog is back.

Happy Dance.  WAIT – not again.  Husband hands me tissues…sympathetically “The dog died again?”

OMG – throws book across the room — ugly crying — very ugly crying but soon it becomes tears of joy. Starts hugging dogs.

Really this is one of the best DOG books ever.  Schatze approves.  After watching the trailer, I think it is going to be a perfect movie as well.

As you know, Schatze was my mom’s dog and when she passed away, I became her lucky human.  In our family, being keeper of the dachshund comes with a lot of baggage, like a lot of dachshund related things.  I also inherited three generations of dachshund memorabilia and my collection keeps growing every day.  She barks, we jump.

  1. I do not currently have a dog, but I’ve had a couple of golden retriever mixes and, while I’m more of a “cat person,” having those dogs was incredibly great.

  3. I have a wonderful, sweetheart of a small mix from lap dog rescue. A sensitive, smart and very special companion who knows all and understands everything.

  4. We have 2 dogs – an English springer spaniel and a goofy doberman/shepherd mix rescue who are both totally spoiled and loved

  5. We have 3 dogs. One of them is half dachshund like yours. We can’t wait to see this movie.

  6. Yes. I adopted him last year as a rescue. With my girls grown and moved out he is great company.

  7. I don’t have a dog at this time. I lost my dog not too long ago and I’m not able to have a dog right now. I miss her a lot, she was a beautiful black lab named Stitch. Luckily, my friend has a beautiful Irish Setter named Garbo, so I get my dog fix from her. She lives in the house behind mine and comes to visit all the time. Dogs bring so much to our lives and Stitch left lots of paw prints on my heart.

  9. I do have a dog. He is 15 1/2 years old. My son and DIL also lie here and they have 5 dogs that I get to take care of.

  10. we’ve got several in the family – both real sweeties that love to be scratched

  15. I love dogs, but I don’t have one right now. My dog Sandy, a golden retriever mix, passed away a while ago. She was the sweetest, most lovable dog in the world.

  19. I have 2 dogs and they are best friends. They hog all comfortable spots in the house including my bed but I don’t know what I would do without them.

  22. I have 1 dog left. I had 1 pass away last June, it was on his 13th birthday. Then in Aug my 14 yr old passed away and that was the hardest for me, he was special in so many ways. I know this movie is gonna bring back so many memories and I’ll probably cry during this movie.

  26. Yes, we have two lab mixes we adopted as babies! They are so sweet and love to play with toys and balls! They are almost 3 years now.

  30. Yes…or maybe she has me. 🙂 I have a rescue maltipoo with a personality all her own. Very sweet, skittish, and a blanket hog.

  36. Yes, I do! I have a Dalmatian, it was actually her birthday two days ago. I love her to death, every time I look at her she just makes me so happy

  40. We actually have two cats named Ozzy and Buddy, but my third oldest son has a border collie named Mia.
