This is the best book for best friends, our dogs, and if
you
are a dog lover, this book is for you.
Told by Harlow, a Weimaraner, who was told he was a
Miniature Dachshund. She tells this true story from her
perspective and with witty charm. Over 125 captivating
pictures add to the enjoyment of this book.
Sage was Harlow's sister and she was the best sister.
They
did everything together.
Sage protected Harlow from scary things like thunder.
When
Harlow hid under the bed and Sage could not get her out,
she
got her blankets, came under the bed and slept there with
Harlow. From then on that's how they always slept but on
the bed. She also protected Harlow from the noisy vacuum
cleaner,
ice cream trucks, and fire trucks. Classic Joke Mondays
was
fun and Sage loved them. An example? (Q) What do you
call a grizzly bear without teeth? (A.) A gummy bear.
The most fun was watching movies with Meryl Streep. They
watched many Meryl-marathons; learned about dancing from
her (Mama Mia), how to cook, (Julie & Julia), about life's
difficult choices (Sophie's Choice) (Kramer vs. Kramer)
and
how to be mean while wearing expensive clothes (The Devil
Wears Prada). Harlow tells us "those were some of her
most
favorite times. Just the two of them and Meryl Streep."
On her last day, " we had our usual cuddle, I told her she
was my favorite part of life, told her a Classic Joke and
gave her a smooch. She closed her eyes and went to
sleep."
Soon after Sage went to the palace in the sky, my parents
brought home Indiana, another Dachshund. She chewed left
shoes and hid them. She asked millions of questions each
day.She learned how to paw on the front door when she
needed
to do her business. She learned to sleep in and she loved
Meryl too. At first she was just a baby sister but now
she
is Harlow's best friend. She has filled the empty spot
that
Sage held and filled it perfectly.
HARLOW & SAGE (AND INDIANA) is a sweet book, one that
makes you smile, laugh, and
cry. It is pure joy and as
a dog lover, it touched my heart. Brittni Vega loves fur
balls and it shows. This book is a keeper.
It is also a book for me to purchase for my grandson, who
is
also a dog lover, to read and discuss with grandma.
Once upon a time, Harlow’s best friend was her older
sister,
Sage, a thoughtful and loving miniature Dachshund. Harlow
and Sage had a shared love for many things, including
Christmas presents and the legendary Meryl Streep. They
played together, cuddled together, and shared their
deepest
secrets, until September 2013, when, sadly, it was Sage’s
time to retire to the doggie palace in the sky. Shortly
after Sage’s passing, Harlow’s parents came home with
Indiana, a Dachshund puppy with a killer sense of humor.
It
took a little getting used to, but after a few months of
showing Indiana the ropes, Harlow began to recognize that
a
new adventure was about to unfold.
Written in the wise and witty voice of Harlow the
Weimaraner, and richly illustrated with more than 125
stunning images of the highly photogenic pups, Harlow and
Sage (and Indiana) is a tale about the bond among three
dogs, connected by deep love and unparalleled friendship.
(It is also a little about Meryl.)
