I began every day laughing.

'Cats make one of the most satisfying sounds in the world: they purr ...
A purring cat is a form of high praise, like a gold star on a test paper. It
is reinforcement of something we would all like to believe about ourselves -
that we are nice.' - Roger A Caras
"Of all the [cat] toys available, none is better designed than the owner
himself. A large multipurpose plaything, its parts can be made to move in
almost any direction. It comes completely assembled, and it makes a noise
when you jump on it." -- Stephen Baker

OLD DOG AND THE CHRISTMAS WISH
By Christine Davis
 OLD
DOG AND THE CHRISTMAS WISH is written and illustrated by Christine Davis. The
‘blurb’ on the back cover of the book says: ‘For those of you who believe in
miracles … and for those of you not quite certain.’
That’s a hook to
get you interested! It further goes on to say: ‘It’s Christmas Eve, and an
old dog lies chained to a tree, alone and forgotten. Beyond the fence something
is about to happen that will awaken the strong spirit that still runs deep
within his tired old bones. Whispers of a Christmas wish will reach the heavens,
and suddenly anything is possible on this very special night.’
This book brought
a lump to my throat – I didn’t cry but I was incredibly moved by the story line.
How many dogs are left chained up outside the house in all weathers? All they
want – and should have – is to be part of family life, joining in the fun and
adventures of daily life, but especially at those special times of the year like
Christmas. I find it so upsetting that so many dogs have such a miserable
existence like the Old Dog in the story – that’s why I had the lump in my
throat.
There is something
very poignant on the inside cover: ‘Something awakens in the heart of a dog
when he knows that he is needed.’ How absolutely true that comment is.
The Old Dog in the
story peers round the side of the fence to see the neighbour’s house with a
wreath on the door and preparations being made for Christmas. And angel is
watching the dog and she knows that the old dog doesn’t have much time left on
earth so she asks the heavens for a special request.
Does the dog
become part of the Christmas story? What happens to him? Aha! I’m not telling!
I don’t want to spoil the story – but it IS a very heart-warming tale and once
again another lump came to my throat. This is the story of an old, forgotten
dog, a Christmas wish, and the miraculous power of a true and loving heart.
Like Christine’s
other books, the illustrations are simple; the words are poignant and in my
opinion, this is a winner for people of all ages.

A Cat's Prayer'
Lead me down all the right paths,
Keep me from fleas, bees, and baths.
Let me in should it storm,
Keep me safe, fed, and warm.
Let the sun shine where I lay,
Keep me young so I may play.
And most of all ...
Bless the people I adore,
And guard me from the dog next door.

PRAISE FOR THE OCTOBER
2005 MEWSLETTER
Thank you very much for another wonderful Mewsletter. I look
forward to it each month, and this month was especially fine.
There is enough in it to be able to read at leisure over several
days, which sets it apart from many more compact sites, which
are finished in a few minutes. Your Mewsletter is more of a
digest, which I can go back to for something new over and over
again. I appreciate very much the work that you put into it,
and the contributions of all your feline staff. Thanks to
Ricky, I may even take up yoga.
All the best from rural Belgium, Jared Kline |
