Sleeping between Giants: Life, If You Could Call It That, With A Terrier: Book I: Budleigh, the Early Year - Softcover
Inhaltsangabe
Multiple award-winning humorist Dave Jaffe and his wife rescued a terrier, although why anyone would is beyond them.
Cunning, intelligent, and fleetingly thoughtful, Budleigh, this young, very social, black-and-white, cow-eyed terrier, was proof of those old adages, “Smart as a terrier” and “Did he break the skin?” Budleigh bonded quickly with his Giants 1 & 2 and as their first shelter dog, proved no more a challenge than if they’d both pursued medical degrees. He was more a challenge to, say, half a loaf of cornbread left on the table in a dark kitchen. But who could blame Budleigh? The streets taught him that talk is cheap, life is tough, and you don’t get much cornbread.
Through essays, cartoons, and comic strips created by the author and drawn from his national award-winning blog Sleeping between Giants, learn about the highly successful, though often confusing relationship between Canines and Giants. Great wisdom is offered by Budleigh, his older co-dog Brisby, Nature’s Perfect Schnoodle, and a host…well, pack of dog park locals.
They’ve much to teach us. Besides the best spots to poop!

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor
Multiple national award-winning humor columnist Dave Jaffe has written for print, television, radio, and online. Creative, clever, witty - these are traits that kept Dave in detention for most of the eighth grade. But as an adult these skills led to hundreds of columns, TV and radio commentaries, and books. Dave's work has appeared in a wide range of outlets, from HumorOutcasts and HuffPost to National Public Radio and The National Lampoon. He even wrote sketches for Bozo the Clown, although a merciful History has forgotten the Bozo Juggles Invisible Chainsaws bit. Dave's blog, Sleeping between Giants, received the 2018 and 2017 National Society of Newspaper Columnists first-place award for humor blogs, and he was selected Humor Writer of the Month by the Erma Bombeck Writers' Workshop. His humor columns have twice been honored with Peter A. Lisagor awards by the Chicago Headline Club and with the Parenting Publications of America Gold Award for Humor. Sleeping Between Giants: Life, If You Could Call It That, With A Terrier grew out of Dave's affinity for dogs. Like them, he prefers to travel in a pack, which has led to numerous traffic citations. However, he is good with children and has had all his shots.
