Yesterday I came home from walking Charlotte and Precious and Lil Buddy and Maggie and Mystic and ... all SPCA pups in need of a loving home for the holidays and beyond ...
Time with these dogs never fails to re-energize me but I have to tell you it was a little bittersweet to be in a shelter filled to brim with dogs and cats and not enough hands and hearts.
There wasn't more to be done in that moment except give my heart a hug. I did that with a delightful photo and inspirational quote book called Salty Dogs! It is full of dogs being dogs at one of my favorite places on earth - the beach. It is full of dogs playing with each other and with people who love them. Just looking at the sun filled, joy filled pages warmed up my cold winter evening.
Can't share the photos here - sorry. But I can share a couple of my favorite quotes:
I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.
-George Bird Evans
-George Bird Evans
In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
All animals except man know that the ultimate in life is to enjoy it.
-Samuel Butler

Thanks for the nice review of my book Salty Dogs!Molly, my Jack Russell Terrier, has been complaining that she is not the cover dog! The French bulldog on the cover is Pate from NC!
