(3.84) | 2 | Bestselling author Dean Koontz says that his dog, Trixie, changed his life and made him a better, happier person. A 68-pound dog who lived close to the ground, Trixie certainly did cast a long shadow. She first became known outside of her own house (doghouse, that is) as a guest blogger on Dean's website, signing off every entry Life is Good, Bliss to You. Now, in this warm and funny book -- as told to Dean Koontz -- Trixie once again shares her inspiring outlook on life and reveals the eight steps that anyone can take to achieve not merely happiness, but bliss. Packed with dog wisdom, both poignant and funny, this charming and heartfelt book gives the listener much food for thought -- which might not be as tasty as a bowl of kibble but is nonetheless nourishing. Bliss to You… (more) |

| Quotations |
Dogs are more responsible than average Hollywood starlet, and starlets all drive. Humans are afraid of calm. Only thing want as much as happy world is sausages. Life without cookie unthinkable. Humans eat so slow. Maybe is beacause your names are not on your dishes, so you're never sure it's your food, okay to eat. Warning: can't achieve bliss if catch cat. Cats are only for chasing. Think about this. (Don't worry. Is not Proust you must think about. Is not even Dr. Seuss.) Sometimes hypothetical doughnuts turn out to be real. You would never find them if didn't look. Don't bite at buzzing bee. Get stung. Face swells. Look like pig with fur. When using Internet dating service, ask what happened to applicant's previous date. If answer is "was eaten alive," you have not found spouse of your dreams. What means--no man is an island? No man is continent, either. No man is ocean. No man is square block of Cleveland. Would prefer real bacon, but will settle for enlightenment Many proofs dogs are peak of Creation. Is no dog equivalent of Paris Hilton. Fame means nothing. Time erases fame. Great power doesn't last. Time erases the powerful. Your anger dies with you. What love you give lives on. Cynic will sneer at this truth. Time erases cynics.
