Just finished reading “Walking in Circles Before Laying Down” by Merril Markoe. What a delightful book! An adult novel about a young woman who finds herself alone and down but with the help of a pitbull mix named Chuck, she learns to trust her instincts.
Chuck begins to talk to the woman and explain how he, as a dog, sees the world and teaches her a new outlook.
As all of us dog lovers know, we can learn alot from our dogs and this book details just how to do that!
I found myself laughing outloud at Chucks remarks and antics! One of my favorite moments in the book is when Dawn (main character) while driving, asks Chuck what he got her for her birthday and Chuck tells her ” Pull off the road right here and throw the yellow ball. It’s right under the seat. I’ll bring it back so enthusiastically that I will break your heart with the pure delight I take in simple-minded minutiae. Wait’ll you see the look in my eyes!! It’s a gift that keeps on giving.”
Everyday our dogs give us gifts, we just have to learn to pull over, stop what we are so wrapped up in and accept those gifts.
Enjoy your day !
