Watching Jodi Grow

Are you a dog person? Or perhaps, there is a future puppy in your plans. Do Golden Retrievers catch your eye? With their lovable personalities and gentle heart, it's understandable how this breed has become a favorite of many.

Jodi has discovered a tissue paper treasure. All puppies need to chew. Sometimes, our favorite belongings or even furniture end up with teeth marks. Provide lots of tough dog toys for chewing.

Daily exercise keeps young Jodi in good shape and mentally alert .With a leash on our puppy, we begin with short walks at a slow, leisurely pace. Easily distracted, expect many stops along the way. This new territory is full of sights and smells to arouse any puppy's curiosity.

WATCHING JODI GROW is an entertaining, nonfiction book based on the author's current adventure with her dog, Jodi. Each page provides basic information to the animal's steady development from birth through her first year. Photographs capture the charm and intelligence of the breed. The young reader's book was created as an educational resource for the first-time puppy or Golden Retriever owner.
