Book excerpt: Amazing (Furry) Lessons from a Dog’s Life You’ll be enthralled by this story of a man and his lovable Labrador retriever, Hannah, and what their canine friendship can show us about life, grace, and long walks in the park. Hannah was Dave’s best friend. He couldn’t imagine starting a day without her tail wagging an energetic greeting, her body wiggling with sheer gratitude when her food dish was filled, and her unbridled enthusiasm for tennis balls. (How she fit three tennis balls in her mouth at once he’ll never know.) So when Dave first learned of Hannah’s cancer diagnosis, he decided to take whatever time he had left with Hannah to cherish the moments and capture his thoughts in a journal. As he wrote about his canine friend, he soon realized that Hannah was an able (and furry) mentor of faith, grace, kindness, and forgiveness. The lessons were invaluable: from being present to trusting the master. When Hannah lived well past the expected time frame, Dave started to see that the insights he was gaining were more than just journal entries about a family pet. Through Hannah’s antics, God was preparing Dave for life itself. You won’t want to miss this heartwarming tale of a dog who knew how to live . . . and showed her owner how.

Book excerpt: Smile! is about the energy we share with our dogs, the state of mind behind that energy, and how a better understanding of the way dogs think and communicate can provide tremendous insight into our own behavior. It is about practicing kindness, achieving clarity, dumping bad habits and finding happiness. It is about removing tension and replacing it with peace, while working on your relationships. It is about being clear in your communication and honoring pivotal differences. It is about letting go of the stuff that isn't working. And it is about teamwork. Smile! connects you with your dogs in a meaningful manner, one in which teaching and learning goes both ways. It immerses you in canine culture, and it will assist you with both easy and "difficult" dogs, in situations where one dog or many are involved. If you equate training your dog with classes, lesson plans, the need for special equipment, frustration and ultimate surrender, fear not! Smile's commonsense, in-the-moment, smile-based and canine-centric approach will be of great help, and it will bring enjoyment and meaning into your life. After all, if you aren't happy, your dog can't be his best.
Download or read book Lessons From Lucy written by Dave Barry and published by Simon & Schuster. This book was released on 2020-11-03 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this “little gem” (Washington Independent Review of Books), Pulitzer Prize–winning columnist and New York Times bestselling author Dave Barry learns how to age happily from his old but joyful dog, Lucy. As Dave Barry turns seventy—not happily—he realizes that his dog, Lucy, is dealing with old age far better than he is. She has more friends, fewer worries, and way more fun. So Dave decides to figure out how Lucy manages to stay so happy, to see if he can make his own life happier by doing the things she does (except for drinking from the toilet). He reconnects with old friends and tries to make new ones—which turns out to be a struggle, because Lucy likes people a lot more than he does. And he gets back in touch with two ridiculous but fun groups from his past: the Lawn Rangers, a group of guys who march in parades pushing lawnmowers and twirling brooms (alcohol is involved), and the Rock Bottom Remainders, the world’s oldest and least-talented all-author band. With each new lesson, Dave riffs hilariously on dogs, people, and life in general, while also pondering Deep Questions, such as when it’s okay to lie. (Answer: when scallops are involved.) Lessons From Lucy shows readers a new side to Dave Barry that’s “touching and sentimental, but there’s still a laugh on every page” (The Sacramento Bee). The master humorist has written a witty and affable guide to joyous living at any age.

Download or read book Contemplating Life From The Back Step written by Angela Lemanis and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2013-02 with total page 141 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The uplifting tale of life lessons learned from three passionate, energetic and wise Boxer dogs that popped into Angela's life and imparted their knowledge and doggie wisdom at times when she needed it most. After watching her three tan and white male Boxer dogs Towser, Sammie and Max and how they spent their days, Angela realises that her dogs instinctively know how to enjoy themselves and to fill their days savouring each and every moment. It's as if her dogs knew something she didn't, or paid attention to the things she should have. Despite their oftentimes questionable behaviour, which has her racing to the vet on several occasions, vacuuming the backyard (yes, you read that right), setting up a stakeout to catch Sammie swinging from the clothesline, erecting an electric fence around the garden, and a very embarrassing moment at a dog show, their special kind of insight teaches Angela important character traits like patience, perseverance and resourcefulness. While the life lessons are unique to say the least, there's no mistaking that each was cloaked in affection and dispensed with boundless energy. It makes her think about how simple a dog's life is, how much they seem to get out of it, and the lessons we could all learn from them if only we took the time to watch. Website address

All that time we had been having fun, going for walks, getting into trouble, being companions and friends in some great adventure. And I had spent so much time teaching him to sit, stay, lie down, roll over. But all along, he had been teaching me. It is the child that makes the man, and in this case it was a dog. All along it had been the dog doing the teaching, not me. How do you like that? And I love him for it to this day and will for the rest of my life."
