I finished reading Jon Katz' new book Izzy & Leone, Two Dogs, an Unexpected Journey and Me and was sad the pages ran out.  I could have read on and on and on… I just may have to start over and read it again.  Jon captured the spirit of human and dogs and their connection so eloquently and with such truth.  I posted a review on Amazon (I was the first!!) and here it is below: 

I've read all Jon's books and loved them all. But, this one is my all time favorite. It touched my heart so deeply. Jon portrayed beautifully the connection between dogs and humans. His honesty about not always finding the right words to describe this connection was refreshing. Sometimes things just don't have an explanation. They can only be felt with the heart. Jon does this so eloquently in Izzy and Lenore. My own dog, who is in a wheelchair, does therapy work with hospital patients and assisted senior facilities. What transpires when she interacts with them is absolute love on a level most times I cannot find words for. All I know is that I witness something bigger than myself. Bravo, Jon for sharing Izzy and Lenore with hospice and nursing home residents and now sharing those beautiful stories with the world… what a gift for everyone.

Fall is my all time favorite time of the year!  I love to decorate for the seasons and especially fall.  Luckily I have a JoAnn Crafts Mastercard… I earn points and get lots of FREE stuff to fulfill my decorating frenzies.  I find such comfort and happiness in making myspace.calm reflect me.  Yesterday I found a “Shabby Chic” rocker to replace the summer teal wicker chair in my room.  Won’t that be cozy on chilly nights?
