-Opening bid $6
Donated by Sandy London and Eskies Gizmo & Whitney

Bedtime Stories for Dogs by Leigh Anne Jasheway, hardback book measuring 6 ¾" X 5 1/8". Here's a book that will make dog owners sit up and beg for more. It's a hilarious volume for pampered pets and their human parents. From tales like "The Three Little Pugs" to "Snow White and the Seven Chihuahuas", Bedtime Stories entertains everyone who's ever had -or loved- a spoiled canine. The tales are written just the way dogs like things - they're short and simple, they have happy endings, they usually involve food, and they frequently refer to things that smell really awful. Each one of these stories was proofed ( and woofed) by the author's two Wiener dogs: "If they didn't five a story two paws up and two tails wagging, it was back to the drawing board," she says.
