wow.
I have been trying to find dog books that were as good as Marley and Me and had no luck. I read this book in a day... which I never do.

Steve Sjogren
Regal Books, 2006
More practical than you'd ever guess.
Simply and directly written, Steve's experience is one that every busy or driven person should read. Steve does not dwell on how he died so much as how we should live, more fully and personally, slower and deeper.

Robert Schwartz
Whispering Winds Press, 2006
The Big Picture
Everything always makes sense when you can see the big picture. This book provides a glimpse into why events we perceive as "bad" happen, through a varied collection of individual cases.
Our lives in this "reality" are just learning experiences, to expand our awareness of ourselves, we agreed to before we arrived on the planet.

Coping With Sorrow on the Loss of Your Pet
My best friend died 1.5 years ago and I still miss her terribly - she was my 15 year old cat. This book was very useful to me during my time of intense mourning. While I know that her loss was a significant and horrible event in my life, recognition of the death of animal companions is not common in our society. This book helped me to see that I was not alone in my grief and that it was okay ...

As with his previous books, this is a personal work for Evans; he uses family names, origins, religion, illness and little ...
