Devine Messengers of Wisdom and Compassion
Author Linda Anderson joins us to talk about this award winning book that she and her husband Allen put together. This outstanding book is comprised of over 60 individual stories about pets and how they formed extraordinary bonds with their new or prospective owners. These stories are a touching collection which make you think of your pet from a spiritual level and clearly illustrates the bond that absolutely does form between humans and animals. You can pick this book up and start reading from any page and get something out of every sitting. The “Meditations” at the end of some of the chapters allows you to think about your relationship with your own pet! Simply outstanding! See the web site for Angel Animals and check out all of the books that Allen and Linda have to thier credit!

They are teaming up with their local YMCA to host a great family event in one of ther local parks. Now, some parks are not open to animals on a regular basis but occasionally they open ther hearts, minds, homes, and wallets to help the cause of giving a deserving animal a life long home! Check out the web site and try to visit some of the great activities they have planned before the snow flies again! Snow? I can’t beleive I even said that! I should be slapped!
