Jon Katz new book "Going Home"

Jon Katz has been one of my favorite authors for years now. His subject matter, dogs, is also one of my favorite subjects! But his new book,"Going Home: Finding Peace When Pets Die" will definitely be on my reading list. Gipetto, my 19 year old maltese poodle mix and Thistle Bella my beautiful 20 year old cat, are both showing me that they are getting ready to "go home" soon. I'm sure this book will remind me of what a Blessing my life has been with them in it as my dear friends.

I'm so sorry about your furbabies "growing old". Mare...
The video is so touching, and sometimes it's more than I can bear to think of but what a beautiful way of looking at it.
The book sounds wonderful...

Jon is one of my favorite authors, and i am sure you would like his writing Paula. He is a very thoughtful man, and Loves animal very much.
I really feel sad when i see my animals age and start to struggle, but i know i am so fortunate to have them with me for so long. When the time comes i will be with them to the end...Thank you for visiting my friend...
