I want to move to the country!
This book was very soothing to my soul...I am a social worker and looked forward to reading Dog Days at lunch or with a cup of coffee after work.

This is a genial book, but I kept wondering about Katz' emotional problems: he buys a farm several hundred miles from his NJ home, and his wife's work requires she stay there. Occasionally he talks about his loneliness so far from his wife - whom he moved away from - and he wishes she could join him more often. He has a visit from a group of elderly fans of his earlier books, who want to see the farm he runs. After finishing this book, I went to the website he invites readers to visit: www.bedlamfarm.com. In the last 3 years he has divorced his wife, married a lady mentioned in the book as a friend, and given away or sold all the animals - except dogs - he professed to care about in the book. So the picture the book paints of a kindly gentleman farmer is completely false, because the author did not know much about himself, in his late 50s, and subsequently changed his personality.Show Less

Dog Days by Jon Katz
This is one of a series about Bedlam Farm by Jon Katz. Mr. Katz delves into the joys, challenges and heartaches of handling the animals on his farm, focusing on his dogs. He recognizes the varying personalities and abilities of his animals and presents his stories with humility and love. I find the content very entertaining and informative. I will read more of Mr. Katz's books and recommend them to other animal and book lovers.

You will love this book!
Having visited the Pawlet-Granville area for years, and having taken my own dog to the Granville Vet, I just loved how you described your relationship with the folks in this area and how you give of yourself....to the people there as well as the animals! I couldn't put this book down. Anyone would love the book, animal lover or not!

Love Jon's Books
Fell in love with Jon's book Izzy & Lenore and have been a fan ever since. Following Jon and his escapades on the farm laugh, cry and root for him. If you love dogs- you have to try Jon's titles.

Best so Far
I've read all of Jon's books and this one was the best one so far. I hated that it had to end. Can't wait for his next book.

Interesting dog book
I did enjoy reading this book because I love dogs. I did not agree with Katz's rationale for "farming out" Clementine (one of the dogs), or his rationale for putting down one of the other dogs that was aggressive. As long as the dog has no physical or mental problems, most dogs can be trained out of agression but Katz does not mention that he tried to get training for the agressive dog. The book is well written and generally upbeat but the two situations described above were "downers" for me.
