Dog Days at the White House The Outrageous Memoirs of the Presidential Kennel Keeper

Dog Days at the White House The Outrageous Memoirs of the Presidential Kennel Keeper Review

What makes this book worth reprinting is not the canine dogs described in this book but the human female kinds of dogs, the women who slept with the presidents who were not necessarily the wives. This book, nearly forgotten, was the first to reveal numerous presidential affairs. It was the first to report that President Kennedy had an insatiable appetite for women, the human kind. It was the original source for a story that has been repeated many times since. This story is found on page 38 of this book. The story goes: Jacqueline was in the presidential bed in the White House bedroom, when she discovered a woman's panties in between the sheets. She held up the panties she had found with two fingers in much the same way that she would hold up a dead mouse and she said to the president, "Would you please find out whose these are, because they are not my size?" It is a fact that every president in more than one hundred years has had a dog, with the exception of President Clinton, who had a cat, although even Clinton did finally get a dog near the end of his term. Not all of these presidents were dog lovers. In some cases, the President obviously got a dog just to get the Dog Lover's Vote. President Obama must have read this book, because when he was elected to office, he knew that the first thing he had to do was get a dog. This book starts with the punch line to a joke: "This book is dedicated to man's best friend - women".

Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak

Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak Review

pain, fear, humor, trauma, isolation, betrayal, rage, joy, strength, growth... Fallout of a Freckle Face Freak is the journey of an eight-year-old girl "in the wrong place at the wrong time". From trauma through years of denial, repression, traumatic memory, coping, pretending, and living a life forever changed because of one night of insanity. Now at the age of forty-one, the author takes us through her journey in an honest, blatant, poignant, and touchingly humane memoir unlike any other. Balanced with humor, creativity, hope, and courage, this memoir connects with the reader in a unique way. For survivors, it offers kinship, validation, and hope. For councilors, social workers, and psychologists, it offers a unique insight and understanding to assist clients in a more meaningful way. For all others, it offers a connection to any part of their own human experience that has included pain, sadness, self-doubt, and challenge. It is a unique reading experience that is bound to bring both laughter and tears. Ultimately, this is a story of healing - not a "quick fix", but in a lifetime of striving to rise above long ago wounds. Amy Harksen, M.S., LMHC
