My wife and I have a non-profit foundation that raises money for organizations like NAMI, Planned Parenthood, and others. This month, we're doing a fundraiser for the Pasadena Humane Society.
For a few years, I've written these silly tweets that are excerpts from a book that doesn't exist, called [i]A Guide To Being A Dog, by Seamus Wheaton[/i]. It's all the funny things that my dog would tell a puppy who is learning how to be a dog, like "If you want to see how fast the humans can run, drag your ass across the carpet seconds after they get into bed" and "The hole isn't going to dig itself" and "When the cat throws up, be as helpful as you can and clean it up immediately."
These tweets always get lots of RTs and favorites, and people have been asking me to put them into an actual book for years ... so we did.
Anne and I hired our friend, Lar deSouza, to illustrate about 90 of my favorite posts, and we put them into a nifty little 8x8 book that is on sale through our foundation right now.
It's pay what you want (minimum $40), with all of the profits going directly to the Pasadena Humane Society. I haven't made the big Twitter/Tumblr/Facebook/WWdN announcement, yet, and I thought that sharing it with those of you who read my blog at SG would be a great way to do sort of a soft launch.
Anyway, I hope you dig it, and I hope you'll support us.
