Synopsis "Sleeping between Giants: Life, If You Could Call It That, With A Terrier: Book I: Budleigh, the Early Year (in English)"
2021 International Book Award Humor Winner and multiple recipient of National Society of Newspaper Columnists Awards for Best Humor Blog, humorist Dave Jaffe and his wife rescued a terrier, although why anyone would is beyond them.Cunning, intelligent, and fleetingly thoughtful, this young, very social, black-and-white, cow-eyed terrier, Budleigh, was proof of those old adages, "Smart as a terrier" and "Did he break the skin?"Indies Today 2019 Best Humor Book Award Winner, Sleeping between Giants: Life, If You Could Call It That, With A Terrier explores the highly successful, though often confusing relationship between Canines and Giantsthrough essays and cartoons created by the author.Newly adopted Budleigh bonds quickly with his Giants 1 & 2 and as their first shelter dog, proves no more a challenge than if they'd both pursued medical degrees. He is more a challenge to, say, half a loaf of cornbread left on the table in a dark kitchen. But who could blame Budleigh? The streets taught him that talk is cheap, life is tough, and you don't get much cornbread.Five-Star review, Indies Today: "Dave Jaffe's obvious love for animals is matched by his talent for writing. Sleeping with Giants will make you laugh out loud with the author's Seinfeldian observations on life with a terrier."Best-selling author Lori B. Duff review excerpt: "I started to read it in the lobby of the auditorium while I was waiting for my son's concert to start. I had to stop reading it in public because I was making a spectacle of myself, laughing, snorting, and insisting that my husband quit doing what he was doing so that he could read the passage I was laughing at."Sleeping between Giants offers great wisdom from Budleigh, his older co-dog Brisby, Nature's Perfect Schnoodle, and a host...well, pack of dog park locals.They've much to teach us. Besides the best spots to poop!
