I just finally had a chance to sit down and read some of this book and it has got to be the most unique book I have ever read. and of course being dyslexic and at least 50% southern, the way the book was written made it easier for me to read than any other book I have read in the past! (and I do read a lot!) I just LOVED this book and I would HIGHLY recommend it to ANYONE! It is just one of the best and most unique books I have EVER read! this is going to be my most favorite book of all time FOREVER! This person is a genius who wrote this book! Anyone who says this book isn't the best has to be a very negative and unhappy person. This book made me smile all the way from the inside - out! It warms your heart and makes you laugh! It is just the BEST book EVER! So get this book and enjoy it! it WILL put a smile on your face and warm your heart and you will want to tell your friends about it! it is just awesome! Don't miss this book! it is going to be one of your favorites! :)
 A buffet of humorous dog vignettes July 1, 2008

If you're a devoted dog lover--or even tolerant of the antics of dogs--you'll probably enjoy this book of amusing "letters" written by a dog to his relatives and friends. (Well, it was actually ghost written by his master.) Since most of the stories are 2 to 4 pages long, this makes a great bedside or bathroom book. The stories are in no particular order, so you can easily jump around or move on, depending on whether the story fits your mood or sense of humor.
The book is suitable for all ages. Pre-teens and teenages will probably snicker at the numerous stories with bathroom humor. I read several of the stories to my 91-year-old aunt who is mentally sharpe but bed-ridden in a nursing home. It was the first time I'd seen her laugh like that in years.
This is a great book to share or just keep lying around. It's well worth the modest price.

Basset Hounds are very funny dogs in many ways. DEER AINT PEGGY is a very different book about the life and times of one basset. A must for anyone who owns or has owned a Basset Hound(s).

I found "Deer Aunt Peggy" to be a delightful book! It is easy to read (it's hard to put it down once you start reading it). I found it to be
entertaining and very funny! I especially enjoyed the story about "Bob gets the short straw." If you've ever had your dog look at you and you
wondered what he was thinking, this is the book for you! I highly recommend it to everyone! Ideal summer reading!

I LOVED THE BOOK. THIS IS ONE WISE BASSETT. I WISH SOME PEOPLE HAD AS MUCH SENSE AS SWEET SHERLOCK. I'M AN ANIMAL LOVER SO HEARING ABOUT LIFE FROM HIS POINT OF VIEW WAS VERY HUMOUROUS. I CRACKED UP OVER THE TIME MANAGEMENT STORY AND WASHING THE CLOTHES. I CAN SEE MY SPOUSE DOING JUST THAT. ENJOYED THE BOOK VERY MUCH
