It's time to pre-order my friend, Terry Bain's, book. He is also my webmaster, although he lets me feel like I'm sort of in charge.

From the press release:

You Are A Dog is a witty and thought-provoking book that reveals the very thing that dog-lovers constantly (and often obsessively) wonder about - what their dogs are actually thinking:

The Vacuum: The vacuum is evil. You bark. The vacuum is not invincible, and after it has searched every inch of the house, the vacuum will give up and return to the hall closet.

The Sofa: The sofa is Position One. The sofa makes you feel as if you are with your people even when your people are gone.

The Baby: Often known as "She Who Randomly Flings Food from the Table," the baby has the most flavorful, ever-changing face of all your people.

Readers will discover their dogs and themselves in passages so funny and so true that they'll read them out loud to friends, family, and pets alike.

The author of You Are a Dog, Terry Bain (a.k.a. He Who Leaves the Seat Up So That You Might Drink) is a freelance writer, book designer and teacher. He won an O. Henry Award for short fiction and was a previous Book Magazine Newcomer. He lives in Spokane, Washington with his wife, two children, two dogs and a cat.

Here's what some famous dog enthusiasts are already saying about the book:

Terry Bain has done a human-to-dog mind meld in "You Are a Dog". How else would he have cracked the canine cranial code to demystify those endearing or occasionally bizarre habits our beloved dogs exhibit. Equal parts witty and warm, sweet and sympathetic, read this book and be destined to meet your dog at a richer, deeper level. I highly recommend this book.

- Dr. Marty Becker, Veterinary contributor to ABC TV's "Good Morning America"

"You Are a Dog" is great fun. It should be the talk of every dog run in the U.S. and countless canine-dwelling homes as well. With humor, and more bite than one might expect, Terry Bain helps us to see the world through the eyes of our dogs, and to look at their lives in fresh and insightful ways.

- Jon Katz, author of "A Dog Year, The New Work of Dogs", "The Dogs of Bedlam Farm"

After reading "You Are A Dog", you will start thinking like a dog.
