[nagdu] A new must read book

[Julie J.]

Thank you Aaron and Buddy!

I appreciate your reviews and your kind words!  It makes it all worth it, to 
know that it was useful to someone else.   I did want to share the owner 
trainer experience in it's unvarnished truth.  I'm so relieved that came 
through.

Thanks so much for your encouragement and support!
Julie

Must second Aaron’s reco here. I just finished it, and this was definitely a 
must read. It’s very real and unencumbered by a lot of the sentimental 
syrupy garbage that seems to end up in so many such things. A definite must 
have.
