- Synopsis
- Award-winning comedy writer Merrill Markoe, the slightly warped mind behind Stupid Pet Tricks, is an old hand with dogs. She knows who's boss (they are) and the myriad ways a loving pet can make you feel guilty twenty-four hours a day. This new edition of Merrill Markoe's classic collection of humorous essays gives readers the choicest selections along with brand-new material.In these razor-sharp essays, Markoe recounts her dogs' phone chats with animal communicators, her search for past lives, and her brief stint as a stun gun saleswoman. She describes the workshop that taught her how to launch an Internet porn business and another that gave proper instruction in the esoteric art of becoming a dominatrix. She shares insight into what it is like to structure your day using only dog rules, how to spot a really horrible restaurant, and what it's like to have a romantic dinner with Fabio. There's even a bright side to preparing for the apocalypse: "At last, it is time to forget about fat grams and low cholesterol." This enchantingly rambunctious and boundlessly enjoyable book gives you Merrill Markoe at her best. You'll devour it in one sitting (and so may your pet).From the Trade Paperback edition.
