Now he sounds so well trained already. Gosh, you make me want one.
Smelling his food (-that) the Man put out while they were outside, Harley felt his tummy's gladness.(this 'that' is unnecessary)

Fun time with little Harley
hugs book

'Harley's First Snow' is a chapter with a cheerful story. In Alaska during the winter, our little dog must wear felt booties in the ice and snow. Oddly enough, the outdoors invigorates him; he loves to go out in the cold.

Should mention if Simba and Leo are people, dogs or what: '...Mistress talking to Simba and Leo as she put food in their dishes...'

Thanks for the fun read. Marie

Hi Patty! Life is such an adventure for a dog and its owner. Harley is such a Jack Russell! Your relationship with Harley and the bond you two have formed comes through in your writing. Thanks for the latest discovery. janbar

    Thank you SO much for continuing to read Harley's ongoing saga. We are having a great time, and we have so many adventures, I sometimes have difficulty in choosing what to write about - it usually comes down to the photography! Thank you for the generous review and your kind words. ~patty~

Harley is really growing.
The little fellow just never knows from one day to the next what new adventure awaits him. I'm sure he was glad to get back to his warm bed after that snowy playground.

It seems that little Harley had a little trouble acclimatizing to the snow under his paws and I can relate to this. Being from Melbourne, this would be a novelty for me too. Your writing is very skilled and your story well crafted and you take the reader with you effortlessly into the mind of a little dog and his view of the world. I like your style very much Patty. xx Carol

It sounds like you are a very considerate dog own and you are both lucky to have each other.

I enjoyed reading about his first adventure with snow. It has been something I have wanted to experience myself, having only seen snow on television.

Hi Patty:)
An enjoyable SPAG-free story that shoud have a strong appeal for young reader, especially those with puppies.

You do a great job of capturing Harley's actions and reactions. I like the way you use Harley's viewpoint.

Thank you for sharing.

Roger
