A Big Little Life - A memoir of a joyful dog by dean Koontz

Many of you may already know the author Dean Koontz; he wrote a truly delightful book about his wonderful golden retriever Trixie who changed his life in so many ways.
Here are some quotes :

"Trixie lived to love and to receive love, which is the condition of angels."

"When we take a dog into our lives we ask for its trust and it is freely given. But in the dog's life as in our own, there come those moments when we are not in control, when we are forced to acknowledge our essential helplessness...Looking into the trusted eyes of the dog, which feels safe in our care and knowing that we do not deserve the totality of is faith in us we are shaken and humbled...The only wisdom is humility which engendres gratitude, and humility is the condition of the heart essential for us to know peace."

"The only significant measure of your life is the positive effect you have on others...Every smallest act of kindness - even just words of hope when they are needed, the compliment that engenders a smile - has the potential to change the recipient's life. If by the example of her joy and innocence, a dog can greatly change two lives for the better, then no life is little and every life is big. The mystery of life is the source of its wonder, and the wonder of life is what makes it so worth living."

Trixie also wrote a book  "Bliss to You: Trixie's Guide to a Happy Life " about finding happiness by emulating dogs : living in the now, enjoying each moment to the fullest; putting aside worries about things one can't control; loving unconditionally and striving to make others happy.
So we have something in common with Trixie, because we have a book, "Paw Steps to Happiness", where we show you how to find and share happiness.
Have a look at Trixie's web site.

Why are dogs lives shorter than human lives ?

People are born so that they can learn how to live a good life - loving everybody all the time and being nice. Dogs already know how to do that, so they don't have to stay as long.

Shane (little boy who just lost his dog, from the book "Dogs" by Candida Baker)

Take care my friends and have a great week-end !
