Dog stories always become my favorite. That’s why I have so many collections of books related dog’s tale. Positively Georgia is one of my favorite books. Liz Ferris, author of this book knows how to get inside the mind of a dog and it’s where I want to be.

How to deal with a son going through puberty? Because your little boy is becoming a man, and it’s confusing both of you And making it hard to breathe.

Step one, recognize the signs.

Is your son having mood swings? Does he have terrible body odor? And spend the same amount of time sleeping as you spend awake? Then, congratulations! And, I’m sorry; your son has hit puberty.
