TIOLI Challenge #19:
http://www.librarything.com/topic/294210#6543889

22 years with Chow Chows:
From left to right: Nemo (1994-2006), Pandora (1996-2004), Callisto (2000-2006)
  

From left to right: Chimay (2004-2016), Gladdich (2006-2009), Eoos (2009-2011)
  

And the Pekingese Ari (2010-2017)


Since Ari died last December we are without dog...
I will read Gans, papegaai en kraanvogel, poems by Bai Juyi (China)

Currently we don't have a dog, but I chose a Shiba Inu as my dog of choice because my brother had a wonderful Shiba Inu called Toshi that everyone loved. If I was to get a dog, this breed would most certainly be among my top contenders.



Book: The Samurai's Wife by Laura Joh Rowland

I am overbooked for August already, but I will try to get to Mrs. Pollifax on the China Station in honor of my Shih Tzu, Adrian. I selected one of my favorite photos to post here:

My 2 year old Blue Heeler Benji. I'm reading Resurrection Bay set in Australia.

I haven't yet picked out a book for this challenge, but I rarely pass up an opportunity to show off my baby. He is a chocolate lab (Canada) and neopolitan mastiff (Italy) cross, weighing in at 56kg (123 pounds), named Thor.

Zoe. Mixed breed German Shepherd (Germany).
In the Garden of Beasts: Love, Terror, and an American Family in Hitler's Berlin, Erik Larson (COMPLETED)

Gertie likes to help me tie my shoes - she hopes I'll take her with me.

For The Man Who Loved China: our Chinese Mantis :) He was a fun pet, especially when he was small enough to eat mosquitoes.
