Thanks for visiting my website, where I’ll be posting some of my work and publicizing my book, One Nation Under Dog, which has just come out in paperback.

What’s One Nation Under Dog? I’m glad you asked. It’s what I hope is a simultaneously hilarious and insightful journey through the world of pet fashion shows, Chihuahua social networking, veterinary antidepressants, ambulance-chasing animal lawyers, hypoallergenic kitty breeders, leash-law political activists, puppy-training ideologues, chew-toy industrialists, pet bereavement counselors, organic dog foods, and other corners of our pet-crazed country–a book that is intended to say as much about how contemporary humans live as it does about the modern lives of dogs an cats. It was published in 2009 by Henry Holt. Initial reviews have been strong: I hope you’ll check it out. Read more about my book here, check out my blog on the subject here, or visit the One Nation Under Dog facebook page here.

When I’m not finishing and flogging books, I also write about all kinds of other things having nothing to do with pets, pet spas, or pet accupuncturists.
