Dogs change lives. Half Buddha, half Bozo, they keep us tethered to the earth, and they teach us to fly. Our dogs are our sanity keepers. They are our suicide-prevention task force. (There I'd be with the gun in my hand, and Fenton would look at me and say, "What the hell do you think you're doing?" and of course he'd be right, as always.) They are the worthy and willing recipients of our fierce, unrelenting, and unconditional love. They are our personal trainers, our gurus, our reason to get up in the morning, our bed-warmers, our muses, our teachers, our hearts.
-Pam Houston, Forward A Year Without Dogs, Woman's Best Friend Women Writers on the dogs in their lives

Salty Dogs by Jean M. Fogle ...

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

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

I just found out that one of my favorite people in the whole wide world is also a dog lover. No surprises there ...
