I enjoyed this book. Why? Well because I too talk to my dog. However my dog has never answered me back in various voices or in any voice.Mention was made of the many forgotten dogs in the various dog pounds and the cruelty of humans towards other animals. This abhorrent behaviour to animals makes me wish that every dog could voice his or her opinion on what they think of their owners. Skip is a delightful Labrador who has been there and done that. He is not shy about demanding what he wants and why he should get it. Pet lovers out there should read this book because although we have loved and have looked after our dogs, cats, budgies etc for centuries, we can still forget their needs such as well made dog houses for outside. As was expected with this type of book all's well that ends well! A delightful story when you do not want to read something intense. Well done to Donna Mabry for reminding us of how special dogs are. I have two dogs and wish I could love and support many more. However our local vets (as good as they are!) are also very expensive which can be the down side to having too many pets.

Conversations with Skip Donna Mabry 9781456319878 Books Reviews
Being a crazy DOG person I love almost any book where the dog "talks"or narrates the story. The 3stars are for that part. Otherwise, it would have dropped to two. What was there I enjoyed but the plot was very predictable and did not ever capture my full attention. Happy that it was a "Special", would be very disappointed had I paid full price.
This was a cute story, very different than what I usually read, but I love books by Donna Mabry, so I thought I'd try it. There were a lot of mistakes though, and that always disappoints me. I believe it said this was a revised edition so it was surprising.
Cute and fun, which is what I was looking for. You can hear Skip in your head and pet lovers will certainly relate to "conversations" with our beloved pets. As a volunteer for a Lost Pets group, I really appreciated the reminder to people that having a rescue animal around can, literally, be a savior to our sanity. This was a nice read.
Having read a handful of chapters, I kept reflecting on how this story would fare well with young readers; that, in fact, it may have actually been written for that age group. I gave it a chance but it just did not hold my interest. While the conversations between Ellen and Skip were entertaining (in a doggy way), those between the human characters were just too simplistic, too elementary.
I was not sure what to expect with this book, I found it to be very sweet and special. It is just a neat little book, I thoroughly enjoyed it.... very entertaining. I choose to believe that perhaps this is actually true to some degree, I feel a connection so special with my little dog and feel often that she is conveying her opinion to me. This book gave me a very interesting perspective on that.
At first the talking dog with different actors voices seemed a little off. But as you read on it starts to blend in nicely with the story. Ellen gets good advice from skip, her dog, and protection when needed. After a bad marriage, does she find love again, with guidance from skip? You have to read and find out ) It really is another good book by Donne Mabry.
I am very much a dog person. Odd since I did not get my first two (brother & sister) until I quite long in the tooth. I love good dog books and I have been lucky to read some wonderful ones like, "A Dogs Purpose", "A Dogs Journey" and "Racing in the Rain" to name just a few. But I have also read some terrible ones. Written by someone hoping to make a few dollars. I was really doubtful about "Conversations with Skip". But since I had read many of Donna Mabry books and never been disappointed I decided to read it. I am so I glad I did. The book was really a fun read.
And you finish it wishing you had a dog like Skip. Really a good read and again Ms. Mabry you did not disappoint.
