Jarolim has a new book out--Am I Boring My Dog?: And 99 Other Things Every Dog Wishes You Knew-- and is running a contest this week. To win a copy of Am I Boring My Dog?, visit the book's official website, recommend a book that would bore a dog--like War and Pee; Das Catipal; To the Dog House; and the Great Catsby--and take your chances.
