I'd Rather Be Lucky Than Good!

Do you or your children ever worry if you've been good enough?
In this new Lucky Christmas book, Good is the name of a dog who thinks he has to be perfect so he never leaves his "safe place." On the other hand, Lucky is used to going out and about to explore the world, and this book tells about some of her misadventures. As Christmas draws closer, Lucky questions whether she ought to play it safe like Good. Maybe her parents won't love her if she's made mistakes? Discussion questions in the back help explore what living a full life is all about and how trying to be perfect and worrying only interfere with living a happy life like Lucky!
(Books are $10 each and are available by emailing  nancy.starewicz.gmail.com. They will  also be available on Amazon by September.)

New Lucky Book Coming by September!

      Finally, we have a Christmas book with a message about doing the best we can in life. In this story, Good is the name of a dog who tries to be perfect.  But as Lucky watches him, she thinks he's really not living, and life is too interesting to worry about being perfect all the time! After some tales of Lucky's adventures, in the end, she decides she'd rather be Lucky than Good!  Discussion questions at the end help explore and overcome worrying and perfectionism.
  (Contact me at nancy.starewicz@gmail.com to reserve a copy for $10 plus S & H if applicable, or this book will be available on Amazon by September.)

Smells, glorious smells!
   "A human walk is nothing compared to that experienced by their dog.  Rabbit.  Mouse.  The dog at the house next door. Toffee. Dead bird. Earthworm. Pizza wrappings. Unknown cat. Frog!"  
Pam Brown

And what have we here?!

Search and Rescue!

Our vet,Dr. Hartsell, supports search and rescue dogs. Here is a picture of him with Ariel who won an award for his services! Lucky books will help pay for more dogs to find those in need.

Lucky says "Here are some wise quotes to think about today........"

"Dogs are born our friend. While his eyes are still closed, already he believes in us."

Maurice Maeterlinck

"Far more than by her bark. a dog communicates through her eyes. With her, one is at peace.

"A door is what a dog is always on the wrong side of!" 

Ogden Nash

"He is so shaggy. People are amazed when he gets up and they suddenly realize they have been talking to the wrong end."

Elizabeth Jones

"Guide dogs for the blind, hearing dogs for the deaf, dog companions for those that live alone.. Dogs who comfort the sick and the elderly and befriend lonely children. All over the world there are hundreds of thousands of these faithful creatures serving us with their love."
