Yesterday evening I read Facing Farewell: Making the Decision to Euthanize Your Pet, by veterinarian Julie Reck. She is exceptionally well qualified to write this, as she used to run an in-home euthanasia business. (Now she runs a full service veterinary hospital.) In the course of working with many pet owners as they made the [...]

A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog, by Dean Koontz

A Big Little Life: A Memoir of a Joyful Dog is the most compelling dog story I have read. Well, duh, you might say–it’s by Dean Koontz. Actually, I almost didn’t download it onto my Kindle because of that.  What I knew of him was that he wrote in a genre I avoided. I don’t [...]

Pen Farthing is a British Royal Marine, and his tour of duty in a remote town in Afghanistan  turned out very differently than he could have imagined. He informally adopted one [...]
