Show Dog: The Charmed Life and Trying Times of a Near-Perfect Purebred by Josh Dean

Journalist Josh Dean tells the story of a loveable Australian Shepherd, Jack, on his novice tour through the exciting world of professional dog showing, following Jack from his first competitions in local school gymnasiums all the way to the great granddaddy of them all, the Westminster Dog Show. A veteran journalist, Dean shines a warm, steady light on the trials that Jack and his plucky, dedicated owners come to face, and uses their story to explore the larger histories of dog shows themselves; the fascinating and sometimes bizarre history of purebred dogs; and our complex, heartfelt relationships to the pets we grow to love. For dog lovers, readers of Marley & Me, Merle’s Door, and Oogy, and fans of Best in Show, Dean’s Show Dog is an irresistible instant classic.

Jamielynn: To know you is to love youby Fatima Myerson

Jamielynn. Her pretty face and artistic abilities hide the fact that she felt she was unworthy of being loved by any man. She had made up her mind that if she focused on her recognized artistic talents, she would be able to enjoy her life to a large extent. She was unusually talented at chess and photography and enjoyed when people admired and envied her talents. She never thought that any man could find her attractive. She was fat!

Unable to find lucrative work as a photography, she got a certificate as a kake-up artist. Her jobs so far, had been assistant to photographers doing makeup on clients and whatever the phtographer needed.
Until she met the “Brad Pitt double,” handsome, thirty-year old heir to the billionaire reql estate family. When Roger Templeton hired her as a makeup artist her life changed. He introduced her to the biggest and most respected agency in Hollywood. She instantly increased her income to a upper middleclass standard. But she nver dreamed that this unexpected meeting would bring her love, respect and a new understanding and appreciation for her “adorable curves.”

A small town can hide many secrets. It can also expose every secret you have.

I’ve spent almost my entire life in Cypress Creek. My family was once a pillar of the community, but times have changed – for the worse.

One look at Marie Nix, and I’m determined to have her. She’s everything I want and then some. She may be too pure for me, but I can’t help myself.

Unfortunately, like me and our small town, she has skeletons in her closet. Her past isn’t staying in the shadows.

Regardless of the things she’s done, once I have a taste of life with her, all I want is more.

Even if it puts me face to face with the threats surrounding her, I’ll do whatever I have to in order to make her mine.
