Dog-Ma the Zen of Slobber by Barbara Boswell Brunner is about when Barbara and her husband, Ray. When they first met, it was definitely love and dog at first sight. Over 32 years, 17 relocations and 9 dogs, their mutual love of dogs guides them on an unconventional path. The love that the dogs give to Barbara and Ray is literally lifesaving, because one dog attacked a lethal intruder and another discovered Barbara’s cancer.
Each dog adds it’s own dynamic to the family, like dogs usually do in each family. From Turbo, Barbara learns about the will to live. Lexington demonstrates incredible patience and a love for golf. Madison teaches them that laughter is the best medicine and the “nine lives thing” is not just for cats.
This is just an all around great book. It’s a very touching book that will make you laugh out loud, but brought tears to my eyes a couple times as well.

I’m a 20-something stay-at-home mother and wife. I have an amazing husband, a beautiful daughter, two loving dogs, and a lazy cat. I wouldn’t change my life for anything! I love to read, listen to music, cook and blog!
Dogs especially always bring a smile to your face even when they are being really naughty!!
