   Det finns inga diskussioner på LibraryThing om den här boken.  reader1009 | Jun 2, 2022 |    ) ShanLand | Feb 28, 2022 | Abramson begins with the loss of her beloved Buddy and the reluctance to try to replace him. Her investigations into pet food and training, etc. are helpful to not only the novice, but those who aren't aware of some of the current choices--and trends. 3.5 stars for a light, enjoyable read. You'll love the book even if you don't have a dog. ( ) Carol420 | May 31, 2016 | Audio version read by B.Macdonald In 2009, I began to follow a series of articles written by New York Times editor, Jill Abramson. She was sharing the joys and traumas of her newest acquisition, a golden retriever puppy named Scout. I missed some of the articles, but I did contribute a picture of one of our dogs to the website photo album. It turned out to be the most visited photo album of the Times website that year. It is not surprising. We are a nation of dog lovers. And it is not surprising that Abramson’s articles would find their way into a book. Puppy Diaries is an entertaining little memoir that any pet owner can appreciate. (This lovable pup ate not one, but two pairs of prescription glasses!) Abramson supports her personal experiences with investigative reporting and interviews with well known figures such as Temple Grandin, Cesar Milan and Karen Pryor. The audio version was very easy listening that I’d recommend to any dog lover. (  ) msjudy | May 30, 2016 | When it comes down to it, the real challenge for the author of a dog book is to use art to prevent the dreaded "but it's just a freakin' dog" thought from entering the reader's head. Certainly one's own dog is never "just a freakin' dog", however the reader who must sit through a few hundred pages about someone else's dog, is very susceptible to having this very thought. I confess that I had it multiple times while I was reading The Puppy Diaries. Some dog books succeed brilliantly in getting at the heart of why dogs, strangely but wonderfully, mean so much to us. Colter by Rick Bass, comes to mind, and to a lesser extent, Following Atticus by Tom Ryan. As for The Puppy Diaries, it doesn't even come close.

"An instructive and marvelously entertaining chronicle of a puppy's first year, by the managing editor of The New York Times One sparkling summer day, Jill Abramson brought home a nine-week-old golden retriever named Scout. Over the following year, as she and her husband raised their adorable new puppy, Abramson wrote a hugely popular column for The New York Times's website about the joys and challenges of training this rambunctious addition to their family. Dog-lovers from across the country inundated her with e-mails and letters, and the photos they sent in of their own dogs became the most visited photo album on the Times's site in 2009. Now Abramson has gone far beyond the material in her column and written a detailed and deeply personal account of Scout's first year. Part memoir, part manual, part investigative report, The Puppy Diaries continues Abramson's intrepid reporting on all things canine. Along the way, she weighs in on such issues as breeders or shelters, adoption or rescue, raw diet or vegan, pack-leader gurus like Cesar Millan or positive-reinforcement advocates like Karen Pryor.What should you expect when a new puppy enters your life? With utterly winning stories and a wealth of practical information, The Puppy Diaries provides an essential road map for navigating the first year of your dog's life"--
"A work of narrative nonfiction that will chronicle the author's first year with her Golden Retreiver, Scout, based on her blog of the same name from The New York Times"-- Inga biblioteksbeskrivningar kunde hittas. |

drags a little bit, but fine if you're looking for stories about puppy training.
