My sister called me Sunday evening. A good friend of hers just lost her dog and is suffering terribly. Several years ago, when we lost Pete and Stevie, Tom’s sister KT sent us a book. In the years since, I’ve sent the same book to other people who’ve suffered the loss of their dogs and cats, including Debby when she lost Maggie. Now Debby wants to send a copy to her friend.
When looking up the information for her, it struck me that I’ve never mentioned the author or her books in my LiveJournal. Yet many of my LJ friends, and their friends, have needed comfort at times when we’re mourning the death of a beloved companion animal.
The author is Christine Davis, and I just discovered that in addition to her books, she writes the Chris Davis blog. Chris’s books are published by Lighthearted Press and include For Every Cat an Angel, For Every Dog an Angel, The Shelter Dog, and Old Dog and the Christmas Wish.
When you order your books using the above link to the Lighthearted Press web site, Chris will personally inscribe them to you or a friend in a companion animal’s honor or memory. These are really touching stories and are often provided to the grieving by veterinarians. I can definitely say receiving For Every Dog an Angel meant a lot to Tom and me all those years ago.
good info to know. thank you 🙂
