He has an appetite for literature

Literally!


I think that in this next one you can see the title of the tome really well.
Yup, it's "Surviving Your Dog's Adolescence," a moderately useful dog-training guide that Chris's mom found at a used book store and gave us. Well, it is no more. We had to throw it away, because every time we came home we found bits of it scattered all over the floor, and Blondie is afraid of the dustpan. Besides, it didn't say anything about what to do when your dog starts eating your dog training guide. That would be too meta.

We keep a lot of books in our living room, which is his room, and so far the only other one to suffer a similar fate is my copy of Jessie Fauset's "There Is Confusion." Fortunately, he only chewed off the cover and a few pages of Thadious Davis's foreword!
