My book is live on Amazon! (you can get it at the link below) As many of you know, this past summer I lost my beloved heart dog, Xelie (Zelly), a rare-breed Picardy Shepherd, to lymphoma. The time she and I spent together the last four weeks of her life were incredible, and the events that followed her death were beyond amazing. The experience was so remarkable, in fact, that I was inspired to write a book.

“Xelie’s Gift” is for any of you who have loved and lost a cherished pet or working partner.
It’s a true account of the unique journey Xelie and I shared. A journey in which this remarkable Picardy Shepherd reversed the typical roles of human and dog, a journey where she became the teacher, not the taught. An inspirational journey that has revolutionized my teaching methods, and transformed my personal life.
