A straight forward instructional manual for owning a German Shepherd.  The book includes how your GSD matures month by month, from bringing your puppy home, to 12 months.  The book also explains how to deal with house training, other types of training, nutrition, grooming, socialisation, health, vet visits etc.

I am reading Murder Strikes a Pose for the second time, but am doing a quick review now because the title is currently on SUPER SALE at Amazon - The Kindle edition, normally around $8.40 is being sold for $1.99.  The sale started yesterday (8/8/14), but is continuing today.  It may end any time, so check it out.

Link to Murder Strikes a Pose

I enjoyed Murder Strikes a Pose a lot.  The author, Tracy Weber, is clever enough to follow the Susan Conant style of dog writing...  Her heroine is Kate, who owns a Yoga Studio.  Kate adopts Bella, a reactive German Shepherd.  And then Kate doesn't just throw Bella in the back yard.  She works with a dog trainer to get exercises to address her reactivity.

And that reactivity doesn't instantly get cured.  She also works with a veterinarian to address physical issues - issues that take time (and expensive medication) to address. 

Before the characters even start thinking about solving the murder of Bella's previous owner, they and their stories are real, believable and interesting. 

The book is a deal at its normal Kindle price, but the $1.99 sale is fantastic! 

(Longer Review will follow...  I'm going to get through a couple of other series first!)
