Dog Days - Jon Katz

Product Description(Amazon.com)
In Dog Days, Jon Katz, the squire of Bedlam Farm, allows us to live our dreams of leaving the city for the country, and shares the unpredictable adventure of farm life. The border collies, the sheep, the chickens, the cat, the ram, and one surprisingly sociable steer named Elvis all contribute to the hum (and occasional roar) of Bedlam. On timeless summer days and in punishing winter storms, Katz continues his meditation on what animals can selflessly teach us–and what we in turn owe to them. With good neighbors, a beautiful landscape, and tales of true love thrown in, Dog Days gives us not only marvelous animal stories but a rich portrait of the harmonious world that is Bedlam Farm.

My Thoughts:  This book like all the others I've from Jon Katz is all about his farm, Bedlam Farm, and the animals that live there.  Rose and Izzy, the Border Collies that take care of the sheep and most of the other animals.  Pearl and Clementine,  are Labs.  While Jon takes you on a daily tour of his farm and animals, he also fills in all the gaps about his friends and family.  Wonderful book!  If you haven't read any of Jon Katz's books, you should, they great books for animal lovers.
