I only read through the first few chapters of this book and had to put it down - forever. I began to hate Margo more and more with each page. She clearly does not "get" what it means to be a dog-owner, especially a pug owner. Her first reaction when she sees her new puppy, Clara, is to call her husband crying because the dog's tail wasn't perfectly curled had a white stripe on it. Give me a break! Any person with an once of compassion would have immediately smothered the puppy with hugs, kisses and love. Margo needs to get over her spoiled, conceited self and learn that she can't always be the center of the universe.
