For certain, we weren't all blessed with her beauty or her poise, nor that glorious golden-brown hair or those big brown eyes. But we, mere humans that we are, can still learn how to be happy, and Trixie tells us how. First of all, you should relish every morsel you put in your mouth. Good food is sure to lift your spirits. I know it makes Me happy! Secondly, getting your rest is a must if you're to have the energy to enjoy life. So, sleep as much as you possibly can. Last, you must learn to be playful. So many humans forget to play. We're so busy going to work, taking care of the family, cooking, cleaning, that we neglect our playful natures. Get back to the basics: Good food, good rest, and playing. This lovely gift book is simply a reminder that all work and no play isn't good for a soul, whether it's a pooch's soul or a human soul. Remember to be joyful. The photographs of Trixie and her dad (Dean Koontz) were charming. Trixie's obviously a very lovable canine. Generous too, because she's donating her earnings to Canine Companions for Independence.
