Book Review 100 Dogs and Counting
100 Dogs and Counting is the latest book by Cara Sue Achterberg about her adventures fostering dogs and about the efforts of so many to save more dogs from places where they face little hope of being adopted. If you’re looking for something new to read as the COVID-19 pandemic rages on and you feel strong enough to learn some tough things about the reality of animal sheltering and rescues, I recommend reading this book — with a few caveats (at the bottom of the page).

Please Support One of My Favorite Independent Authors
Over the holiday break, we received the devastating news that our amazing border collie friend Angelo earned his wings on an ordinary night in his sleep. If you don’t already know Angelo’s story and other tales and images from his epic love story with Leland Dirks — Angelo’s human companion, our friend and one of my favorite independent authors — now is the perfect time to show some support by buying and reading one (or all) of his books.

Book Review Animal Lover’s Guide to Changing the World
My book review process typically starts with finally being offered a book of interest. I agree to write and post a review. Then, I promptly freak-out about finding the time to read the book. Weather, in turns out, did me a favor. Thursday, May 3, 2018, we got a ton of heavy, wet snow. So much that I didn’t go to agility class. So much that we lost power (and phone service) for about 12 hours. I did as much writing work as possible on my laptop and through sparing use of our battery back-up system to access wifi a few times to check email, but there was only so much I could do. So, I read Stephanie Feldstein’s book all in one sitting. Here is my book review Animal Lover’s Guide to Changing the World – Practical Advice and Everyday Actions for a More Sustainable, Humane, and Compassionate Planet. Details on the book giveaway at the end. Scroll down.
