-pound dog

Likes:
Pound cake and other human food. That my dad is the Dogster "For The Love Of Dog" blogger, check it out.

Pet-Peeves:
Pound puppies and not getting human food.

Favorite Toy:
It used to be his feline sister Moose. He would chase her, catch her, stick her head in his mouth (no biting), and snuggle with her. Now after living with her for 13 years he's past that stage and prefers treats.

Favorite Food:
Anything not in his dog bowl. He's also pretty fond of garbage pail surprise. Me, not so much.

Favorite Walk:
Nature trail in the neighborhood.

Best Tricks:
He will give you a high five.

Arrival Story:
Here is my adoption story and an excerpt from my book BAD TO THE BONE :Memoirs Of A Rebel Doggie Blogger, just released Oct '09 (Kensington Books/Citadel Press): We met back in the early 90's, December of '92 to be exact. I just had a major blowout with my first, somewhat dysfunctional family and decided that it was best for all if I just left. My foster dad gave me a ride to nowhere that ended up at a boarding house in Albany, NY. The place was great, warm with plenty of company, and their cheesy poof biscuits were to die for. On the downside, it was loud and smelly, not unlike me. Even a lowly pug could smell her coming from miles away. It was Monday, as I recall, and the bells on the door jingled to announce her arrival. She was a beautiful blonde with a quick smile and a big heart. We'd seen this type before; they usually left with one of the pure bred puppies, but something was different about this one. My instincts told me that any canine would be darn lucky to go home with a dame like her, so I made it my top priority to be that hound......

BO KNOWS: HE JUST DOESN'T LISTEN


My Book Reviewed In Publishers Weekly

I just found out my book, BAD TO THE BONE: Memoir Of A Rebel Doggie Blogger, was reviewed on Publishers Weekly. I was wagging with excitement when I got the email. Woof!

Bad to the Bone: Memior of a Rebel Doggie Blogger by Bo Hoefinger

Read by Loretta

A funny, funny book giving the reader a hilarious insight into what might be in a dog's mind as he is given orders by his owners. Throughout the book, Bo continually displays his intellectual superiority when he is listening to his "Mother" and "Father" as he refers to them. His innocent explanations about how he constantly outfoxes them will have you giggling. Hilarious from beginning to end. This book will leave you chuckling to yourself and marveling at the cleverness of the author and Bo.


Bo Needs Help...Please Help Bo

This is Bo's mom..I don't normally ask for help, usually Bo does the begging. But Bo and I do need help getting the word out about his book. He was supposed to be in the front of bookstores but it didn't happen, so we need to get the word out. If we sell enough books they'll put us upfront where Bo belongs. Bo has worked the last 3 years typing his paws off to make this happen, please help him.

BO’S SHAMELESS PLUG….http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meAuql2Gps0

Let’s get this clear right away: I’m a dog.

I’m 1′10″ and weigh 63 lbs, and although I’m a mutt on the outside, I’m a purebred on the inside. My good nature comes from the Golden Retriever side of the family, while my stubbornness is clearly from my Chowchow bloodlines. I’ve got Rastafarian ears, a black tongue for licking, and paws that should be on a dog twice my size.

I type 60 words a minute.

My name is Bo, and this is my story.

From shelter dog reject to beloved pet and popular doggie blogger, Bo Hoefinger’s life has been anything but ordinary.
Join this incorrigible canine as he welcomes us into his life, complete with his wacky “parents,” a constipated feline housemate, and chipmunk warfare. Bad to the Bone is an unforgettable, laugh-out-loud tale of love and loyalty that reveals the true heart of a modern American family.

A frequent contributor to local fence post 12, Bo continues his nonprofit work with the Beneath the Fence Society. In his spare time he dabbles in knocking over garbage pails, barking uncontrollably, and generally being a helpful force around the house.

He lives in Atlanta.

Grab a copy of BAD TO THE BONE for yourself and then a few for your dog loving friends. Can you think of a better gift for a dog lover than a book written by a dog? The holidays will be here before you know it and Bo thinks every dog in America, and beyond, should wake up x-mas morning to find a copy of his book in their stocking. It also works well as a gift for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, Bo doesn’t discriminate against any breed or holiday.

Bo’s book is now available, you can order online at http://www.amazon.com/Bad-Bone-Memoir-Doggie-Blogger/dp/0806 531290/ref=ntt_at_ep_dpt_1


Book Update: BAD TO THE BONE

For those pup pals that have been following along my writing adventure, the trials and tribulations of being a canine author, I have an update.

My book, BAD TO THE BONE, is now available on Amazon.com (and bookstores around the world) for pre-order. It looks like the actual in-store date will be around October 1st. Just in time for all the doggies out there to get a copy in their x-mas stockings.

Thanks again to all my friends for their love and support throughout my journey. After almost three years it's hard to believe in a few short months my book will be nationally published. It isn't easy breaking into the literary world when you're a dog, but thanks to all the great Dogsters who want a book through a dog's eyes it happened.

Woof!
