ABOUT THE BOOK
Take one abrasive professional athlete, a quirky
out-of-work schoolteacher, and an overweight geriatric dog, and you're ready
for a lesson in love . . . Tippy style.
Pro baseball pitcher Cal Crawford is not a dog guy. When he inherits his deceased mother's elderly dog, Tippy, he's quick to call on a pet-sitting service.
Gina isn't thrilled to be a dog sitter when her aspirations lie in the classroom. Furthermore, she can't abide the unfriendly Cal, a man with all the charm of a wet towel. But with no other prospects and a deep love for all things canine, she takes the job caring for Tippy.
As Gina travels through Cal's world with Tippy in tow, she begins to see Cal in a different light. Gina longs to show Cal the God-given blessings in his life that have nothing to do with baseball or fame. When her longing blooms into attraction, Gina does her best to suppress it. But Cal is falling in love with her too . . .
Discover the charming story of Tippy, the dog who brought a family together.

MY THOUGHTS
"...when God gives you a friend, you hang on to them."(177)
Sit Stay Love by Dana Mentink is one ADORABLE novel. It's sweet with the right notes of humor, emotions, romance and even a little mystery.
Inherited Tippy, his mother's dog, Cal just doesn't know what to do! As a professional baseball player, he just doesn't have time for a dog, or does he? In comes Gina, who LOVES dogs as his part-time dog sitter. Chaos ensues, but always a good laugh when it comes down to Tippy. Grace and forgiveness are themes throughout, and what's endearing is how Tippy seems to bring everyone together!Being a baseball fan myself, I just love how games and the camaraderie of teammates were part of the plot. Several characters will jump out at you besides Gina, Cal and of course, Tippy. I've been hesitant about getting a dog, and after reading Sit Stay Love, let's just say it pushed it to a favorable vote. Now just have to figure out what kind of dog to get. What do you think?
