I was so excited to read Jon Katz's Izzy & Lenore, Two Dogs, an Unexpected Journey, and Me.
This book chronicles Katz's early adventures with Izzy the abandoned border collie and Lenore the silky, squirmy, loving, Lab puppy. Katz and Izzy tackle hospice volunteerism. Katz and Lenore tackle Katz's personal journey through what he sometimes calls the "territory of fear" - his sudden and nearly devastating depression.
A hero's journey on all accounts.
Granted, it was a little difficult to read about depressed and terminally ill individuals given what I've been through recently. However, the insights Katz offers and the poignant manner in which he offers them, ultimately left me feeling full of love and hope.
It's a quick read (only about 150 pages). As a bonus, the book contains a few of Jon's amazing photography.
A lovely, lovely book. . .and I'm not just saying that because I have a huge cyber-crush on Katz's blog: http://www.bedlamfarm.com/
