Pick-a-Shelf discussion

I don't know, but maybe one of our books this month will tell us! I am looking forward to your quotes from or about your animal books. Any quote will do, it can be the funniest, your favorite, or, if you are stuck, just pick something from page 46.

(It's really hard to pick something in this book without the whole context, but here goes -- Chet's the dog, Bernie is his detective friend.)

The Dog Who Knew Too Much, p.17

"'Just Chet,' Bernie said.

'How did you pick the name?'

'I didn't. He was already Chet when I met him.'

I remembered that day, a bad day -- flunking out of K-9 school just before the leaping test, my very best thing! Was a cat involved? Blood? Those parts were pretty hazy. But a real good day, too, on account of that was when I got together with Bernie."

"'Just..."

That is a great quote, though, Lynn. It sounds like the book is a cute one.

Giant George: Life with the World's Biggest Dog, p. 30, as they pick up their new puppy:

"'He's gorgeous,'she agreed with us. 'Absolutely gorgeous. And I tell you what," she added, "big paws.'

Naturally, this didn't mean a lot to us. All we could see was this cute little puppy..."

From I Want My Hat Back:

No. why are you asking me.
I haven't seen it.
I haven't seen any hats anywhere.
I would not steal a hat.
Don't ask me any more questions.

(Spoken by a rabbit with the missing hat obviously perched on its head)

From The Grimoire of the Lamb. This quote comes from Oberon (he's a dog who can speak to his owner and he's just hilarious!)

"Yeah!" Oberon said as Bast faded from view. "One hound versus thousands of cats, and the hound wins!"
What about the Druid?
"Quiet, Atticus. I'm having a moment here. Basking in my own glory."

From the preface of Real People Don't Own Monkeys: And Other Stories of Pets, Their People and the Vets Who See It Allby Veronika Kiklevich, DMV:

"I knew that I wanted to be a veterinarian since the age of three, when my mother informed me that I couldn't grow up to be a horse."
