Stop and Smell the Garbage: Poems by the Biggest Dog in the Universe (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781537027531)

Editorial Reviews "In the tradition of the great confessional poets, Holly lets us in on her deep-seated territorial anxieties, struggles with squirrel obsession, and the daily domestic menaces of fragranced cleaning products. It is a journey we can all relate to. Holly and her human are both clearly unbalanced, but these poems remind us that love triumphs over all. My only complaint is that I must say I am suspicious of her claim as The Biggest Dog in the Universe, although I have not had the pleasure of meeting Holly in the fur. I am rather proud of my own height. And who has time to measure all the dogs in the entire universe? But perhaps we can agree on a metaphorical sense of the word "biggest," for it is clear that Holly's heart is as large as her bark." UC ME Starlight (@starlight_grey on Twitter) "We think Holly is full-of-herself, and she thinks she is the biggest dog in the universe (ha ), but we are impressed that she can write so well. Sometimes she is a little too philosophical (we can use big words, too), but it is nice to read about stuff that matters to us: sniffing things, protecting our yard (from doggies, not squirrels, though), looking out windows, sleeping in our mom's chair, watching out for our mom. Holly is speaking for us, too, (except for her use of "human" because our person is our mom), and we will treasure her book. We plan to get extra copies for our friends and relatives." Four furry felines: Pumpkin, Violet, Merlin, Jonesy Macomber "Overall, I suppose, for an animal of Holly's pedigree, it can be considered a work to be proud of. At moments funny and others quite touching, I look forward to more from this pampered pooch. Even if she is a dog." Nubbins, Japanese bobtail, 20 years, expatriate "Smell the roses - it's a wonder, Smell the garbage - like a thunder I never met this atypical poet called Holly - The Biggest Dog in the Universe, but I feel her very close to my heart. She knows how to recognize a good thing when she smells it, and I can only admire that. She also has a unique way of expressing her feelings through poetry, which makes me want to read and read until I fall sweetly asleep on top of my favourite cat tree. Her poems are so full of energy, you can feel her doggy creativity. I hope I'll get an autopaw from her one day " Eric van Taz @eric_van_taz on Instagram "What the hell. Stupid dog. Humans are for food or humans ARE food. Rub my belly. PSYCH " Ygritte the Cat
