Planet Of The Dogs: A Book Review

| Comments (1)

planet-of-the-dogs-book.jpgThe book, Planet of the Dogs by Robert McCarty, is an enjoyable read for children (maybe ages 7 -12?) and dog-lovers who enjoy fun fiction books -- but don't have a lot of time to spare.

It's a quick read. (I like that!)

But it's not just one of those "one-line per page" kinds of books. You know, the kind that you feel ripped off because it's not really a 'book' as much as it is a 'to do list' or a notepad of 'happy thoughts'.

I haven't read this book yet, but Pat Doyle of the Doggiewoggie Dog Blog has.

From her blog:

I found something of interest from "Breeds to Match Your Personality Type". It says that Type A humans (impatient, stressed, driven types) usually do better with Type B dogs, and Type B humans (laid-back, easygoing types) usually do better with Type A dogs. Here are the dogs listed:

    • Our dog pooping. The long-awaited poop. There was so much in there, he actually went 3 times in a matter of seconds. A very proud moment.
    • Tenor is pretty much back to his old self these days -- 8 days after surgery. Now he's just bored.
    • Tenor is eating fine and getting around okay 8 days after surgery -- but he still won't put much weight on his foot.
    • Our dog is resting on a bed sheet out in the backyard after TPLO surgery.
    • Tenor dog is crouching down into a seated position -- on top of the bad leg! It didn't phase him at all. By the way the tongue action is because he'd just had a drink of water.
    • Here, Tenor is lying directly on his bad leg. No worries. The only thing that was difficult for him during the first week of recovery was lying down on bulky things like blankets and dog pillows. It seemed to put extra pressure on parts of his leg.
    • Ice cubes are good for a dog right after surgery. I don't think our dog ate or drank much while he was in the hospital. He seemed to be running a fever, and he couldn't get enough water and ice cubes.
    • Here you can see how bad the swelling is in the right rear ankle -- and this is while he's lying down! The swelling was on top of the foot, as well as in the ankle.
    • A closeup of our dog's stitches and bruising after TPLO surgery.
    • The x-rays of our dog's leg, post-surgery. This is his right rear leg. The metal plate is on the inside of his leg, the screws point to the outside of his leg.
    • Dr. Beckman is showing us how to place a towel under his belly/groin area, then with both ends of the towel in your hand, lift the dog's back-end up so the toes don't touch the ground.
    • Tenor is wishing he could just go to sleep and not feel so uncomfortable any more.
