“Ask Anna: Advice for the Furry and Forlorn”

Some days the world is spinning so fast that we just want to take a break, turn off the news on the TV and cuddle with our dog with a good book and a cup of tea. The world can be hard to understand but dogs have all the answers! (or almost)…

That’s why I think this is the Perfect Book to read with your dog. He may have some questions too about the meaning of life or about why humans do this and that. Ask Anna: Advice for the Furry and Forlorn is an awesome read! I laughed at every page and understood more about my furry angel and the questions she may have when I do human non-sense things.

Dear Anna, I'm a Newfounland and my sister is a Chihuahua. I love her. But how could this happen? —Burt

Dear Burt, Although dogs are magical beings who know all the secrets of the universe and are capable of just about anything, in this case I suspect the answer is—adoption. —Anna

Anna Koontz (the dog) and his human and best selling author Dean Koontz wrote this book together to answer lovely dog questions and to help Canine Companions for Independence. 100% all the earnings will be donated to this awesome organization.

So if you or your dog have questions about the meaning of life… this is the perfect book! Hug your dog and read it together!!

Happy (dog) Mother's Day!

Are you a dog mother? Do you have kids and dogs? or do you only have pets? There is no official Dog Mother's Day, but it is a beautiful thing to be a dog's mom. You take care of a beautiful soul, a "furry kid" who needs you and depends on you:

- you play with him
- visit the veterinarian and give medicines when needed
- provide water and exercise
- hug him when there is a thunderstorm and he runs under the table
- clean up his mess
- educate him
- reward him and most important, you give your dog all your love!

Happy dog mothers day!

Dog Adoption: Looking for a Loving Home

Don’t you love this beautiful face? She is Sophie, a lovely dog who lives with my friend and neighbor Laura, her foster mom. Sophie is looking for a Forever home. She is very sweet and gentle and she just love to sit on your lap and go on fun walks.

Sophie wants to move to San Diego or surrounding areas. If you are the most loving and caring guardian, Sophie will be a perfect part of your family. My friend Laura thinks she will be happier with a family with no children because she is a little shy. Laura found her on the street and took Sophie to her house, but she can’t keep her (she would love to!)

Sophie is a Chihuahua Mix, 3 years old, 13 pounds and spayed with all her vaccines current. If your heart melted with this pictures and want to adopt Sophie, contact me or leave a comment and I will send you her foster mom’s information, or if you know the perfect family for this little angel, let me know. Please share this post with your friends in California : )

Woof Birthday!

“We should all measure our age in dog years - there are way more birthdays!”

Today is my dog Winnie's birthday! As a dog lover you know the feeling... I want to hug my dog all day! I am so grateful to have her. If I could speak "dog" this is what I would say to her:

14 years ago your showed up with your nose to a world full of surprises. Scents, sounds and colors filled your world with adventures and places to explore. Your first years were not easy, but God put you in our way and with that loving face and illuminated eyes, you conquered my mom, she rescued you and brought you to live with her. I thank God that we have shared with you most of your life. Years have passed and it seems that you have more than 80 in “dog years”… but your soul remains intact. I see you and I don’t see a dog, I just see you! Winnie. You are our angel! Happy birthday Winnie!
