Thanks to all who made it to Cindy's Book discussion of The Dog Who Saved Me: A Novel by Susan Wilson. It was a fun and eventful meeting like always. Surrounded by good friends with a common bond... reading. Thanks Jan for opening up your home for the meeting where Cindy fed us yummy Chili with all the toppings. For appetizers we had artichoke dip and isn't this just great I forgot what else. 
I do remember everything being tasty. And don't let me forget the dessert.... Kathy made us cute little hoot owl cupcakes. See what you missed.
Aren't they cute?
Diana had a story of her own to tell at the meeting and what a story it was. She may have found her birth father but we won't know for a few more days. Time will tell.
Only 5 out of 8 of us present read the book so conversation was limited.
Brenda is not a dog person so she had already decided before opening the book that she wasn't gonna like it but she was pleasantly surprised and loved the book.
Jan thought the book in the beginning was almost written for kids.
This book is about Cooper Harrison a member of the Boston K-9 unit and his struggles after his dog partner is killed in the line of duty. The story line is about abuse, hardship, tragedy and survivorship. How one can over come all the bad and heal. Both human and animal. And of course a little romance is thrown in the mix.
Everyone loved the book
As always our conversations go everywhere. It just wouldn't be right if they didn't. Some how we got to talking about James Bond, Val Kilmer who Cindy thinks is a junk of butter, mmm okay and Daniel Craig and Pierce Bronsen is the best. Okay I a Sean Connery fan all the way especially as he aged. Then we talked about how Barbie has changed and now you can't even google Barbie without coming up with porn. Oh great! I had to share the story of my nephew from Missouri when he was about 11 or 12 was on Pamela's computer. He's dream at the time was to own a Hummer so he typed in hummer well he got more than he bargained for. You guessed it Porn no cars. LOL Some had no clue what a hummer was..... they were enlightened. LOL
You ladies are awesome
