For Every Dog an Angel: The Forever Dog
35 journalers for this copy...
From Amazon: For Every Dog An Angel is a light, magical little book that honors the timeless connection between people and their canine companions. Written from the heart after the unexpected loss of her "forever dog" Martha, this charming book will bring comfort to anyone who has ever had to say goodbye to their best four-legged friend. For Every Dog An Angel is also a heart-felt way to welcome a new puppy or to celebrate a much-loved doggie friend.
I've decided to send this out on a book ring. You can share this with your favorite pooch. When you journal, you can tell us about your forever dog and even include a picture if you are so inclined.

Journal Entry 4 by gypsyrose02 from Byford, Western Australia Australia on Thursday, August 19, 2004
received and read today. what a beautiful little book! i feel honoured to have read it. i totally believe in everything this book says. i believe that i have a whole zoo waiting for me up there and ill be in my element. ive taken in lots of injured, abused and abandoned animals and they are the most loyal loving creatures. thankyou fo including me. will pm next in line.
on its way to the post office today.
this actually arrived last week. I haven't had a chance until now to journal it, but I did read it a few times, and yes, it did make me cry!
My "Martha" crossed the angel bridge 18 months ago and even though I have two dogs and a cat with me now, I still miss her everyday. I liked the thought of her coming to visit me and of her angel smiling when I love on any other dog.
I wish I could give a copy of this book to everyone who adopts at the shelter where I volunteer!
I'll get this out to KF as soon as I can.

Arrived today. I'll read it this weekend.Pictured at left is Oreo (who raced as MPS Teresa), my first greyhound. She's nearly seven, and she's been with me for almost three years. She's usually mellow, she's smart, and she sticks like velcro.
And she's very patient with Sam, my second greyhound.
A lovely little book with charming illustrations.I'm very lucky: my "forever" dog is still with me, my Oreo. And she patiently tolerates the household's "Number 2" dog, Sam (pictured at left in his "adoption photo"--the picture I fell in love with).
Sam is sweet, a snuggler, stubborn, and breathtakingly dumb: he doesn't understand treat balls (he just beats them on the top: "Give me my treat!"), he looks over his shoulder when he runs (he smacks into the wall in my hallway at least once a week), and he has been known to jump onto the sofa, sit on Oreo, and then look innocently around like "What's that growling noise"? Sam is just smart enough to know not to get between Oreo and food, so there's peace in the household.
The book will go in the mail tomorrow to Pyan in Wisconsin (shipping media rate).
Arrived in the mail today ... it looks beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing this!
Read it tonight for the second time with my husband. We both shed tears & smiles. Such a beautifully written book. I plan to purchase copies to give to friends who have lost a beloved pet ... this book is such a comfort. I'll upload a photo of my "forever" dog: Murphy, an Alaskan Malamute who is now nine years old. I feel so incredibily blessed to have had Murphy with me since he was three months old. Many dogs have come into my life and shared their time and love with me, but there hasn't been any who quite rose to Murphy's level as far as our bond; he is definitely my "forever dog."
I'm sure others will come into my life in the future, and I'll love them all, but there's always that extraordinarily special one. My tribute is to that one: Murphy, who has given me so much more than I could ever give in return. I'm just grateful to have known him, and I treasure every day I'm allowed with him as his days are quite limited.
This photo was taken a in the summer of 2004, and I've since learned he has an auto-immune disease which is slowly crippling him.
Sadly, although I've put over $3,500 into his specialized care, and he seesm pain-free at the moment, I know things will change and I'll run out of savings and have no money to pay for his continued treatment. It's particularly horrifying to me that I may have to put my best friend to sleep just because I can't afford to pay for the medical treatment he needs. :(
I'm glad to see the author has written a companion book regarding "forever cats."
Thanks again for sharing this gem.
I'll be mailing on to Silverstarry as soon as I receive her information.

I got this in the mail today. I have already PMed BooksnBeer for her/his address and will send it on soon.
This book is so sweet. I really love the illustrations too. I have to make sure to buy it for friends when a forever dog joins his/her angel. I made the mistake of reading this to my 5 year old daughter and I started to tear up at the end. Oh heck, who am I kidding... I tear up over some of her picture books.Just thinking of my forever dog makes me tear up. I finally got a dog when I was 6 years old. I vividly remember thinking how I had been waiting MY WHOLE LIFE for one! He was my best friend. He went though everything with me. He lived to be 16, I was 22 when he died. To this day I still feel him sleeping on my bed. I love the idea of him teaching my new doggie the ropes (this picture is of my second fuzzy face). What freaks me out is how similar my two dogs are, and not in just the good ways. I have a feeling that sometimes my forever dog is not the best influence. :)
Thanks so much, calicocollie, for sharing this adorable book. I sent it off to BooksnBeer today.
Received this in the mail last night. What a cute little book. It looks like it is short enough to even real aloud to my husband. I will get this moving super quick.
A very cute book. My forever dog is still with me and she is a joy. Her name is Cerveza and yes - she likes beer. I read this out loud to my husband, with Cerveza listening and nodding her head. I adopted her from the Animal Rescue here in Virginia. She is a long-haired Chihuahua and has a great little personality and she is as smart as a whip. I swear she understands english. Her picture is on my bookshelf. She is one of the loves of my life (the other is my husband-of course).
This went into the mail this morning. Enjoy- Dancing-dog.
Received and read it yesterday. What a charming little book - of course it made me cry but that's ok. I loved the drawings.
I truly have loved all the dogs I've been in contact with but my forever dog would be Tasha, who was my first dog. We got her at the shelter and she was a German Shepherd/Huskie mix. She didn't care for men much but her and I were bonded buddies. She lived with us for 16 yrs and left us about 2 yrs ago. I do feel like her spirit is still with us and hopefully is guiding Sadie, the sweet dog we have now.
I volunteer at a local shelter and know a lot of people who would love this little book. If I ever see it, I'll snatch it up - thanks for sharing this, calicocollie! Also, I've really enjoyed reading everyone's journal entry about their forever dog :)
While I wait to get Zenus' address, I'm going to try to get my husband to read it. I'll journal again when I send this off.

This is the most heartwarming little book for dog lovers!! It made me cry- thinking of my angel sheltie, Callie, who I had for 14 wonderful years. I do hope I will be able to see her again one day... for now- y'all can see her on the left.And now I have a new puppy, Sammie- who is also a sheltie, and she's already trying to worm her way into my heart just like Callie did! (You can see Sammie on my bookshelf.) Things will always be more special with Callie though- because I had her when I was single and by myself, and she was my only consistent companion. Now I have 2 kids and while I know Sammie will be a great family member, she is also spread out between the 3 of us humans (and a cat) rather than being one-on-one like Callie was, if that makes sense. Callie will always be my special Angel Dog. :-)
Thank you, calicocollie for sharing this book with us! The illustrations are endearing, too- but the words got to me! I love it. I will also have to find some copies that I can send to my friends who are also dog lovers and have lost a pet.
I still need to PM for the next reader's address, but I will get it mailed off by next week at the latest.
Sent today via media mail to AngelfireStar in Nebraska. Sorry for the delay in getting it mailed- blame it on the holidays and a sick kid- but it's now on its way!
I'm still loving how sweet and warm this book is. I hope it travels far and touches MANY people's lives the way their pets have. :-)

Received today. Looks like a sweet book.
I loved this book. I read it out loud with my four dogs around me...it made me cry. (And I am not one to cry easily) It made me think of Dusk, my very first dog. He was a daschund that my parents gave me on my first birthday. It is because of him that I grew up loving animals, especially dogs. That's why I have four lovable mutts now!
Going in the mail to kelwood on Feb. 5/05.

Thanks! Received in the mail today! Will read tonight with my dog Simba.Edit 13th July 2007:
We had to have Simba, almost 12 years old, put to sleep today because he simply ran out of strength, last night he couldn't even lift his head. We decided to see what the situation was in the morning and it was the same, he just lay on the floor, just breathing.
I had to make that very difficult phonecall to the vet and we got an appointment immediately. Everything was done in good taste and Simba fell asleep peacefully, no pain whatsoever.
We'll get his ashes back in a urn and will bury him at his favourite place, the cottage where we used to spend many summers (the place now belongs to my relatives).
Journal Entry 35 by Sobergirl from Turku, Varsinais-Suomi / Egentliga Finland Finland on Thursday, March 17, 2005
THANK YOU FOR SHARING THIS WONDERFUL BOOK WITH US!Simba and I just finished reading it. He's my Forver Dog. Two years ago he still had a doggie pal, Bobby, my mum's Forever Dog. It's good to know that Bobby is still watching over us and helping Simba (who's deaf and actually needs help every now and then!). Simba sometimes plays with someone invisible. Now I know who it is :)
The picture is Bobby to the left and Simba to the right.
Hi, all,I've ordered a copy of this book for a very dear friend. My friend just lost her 13-1/2 year old greyhound Lizbeth (shown here in her Easter 2003 photo). I think this book will help Lizbeth's mom cope.

I received it on Friday and read it straight away. It's a lovely book, but at the same time a bit sad. I tried to read it to our son, who is very much interested in our lovely dog (a golden retriever, two years, loves training agility and swimming, preferably in very dirty water!), but obviously someone who is six months old doesn't appreciate this kind of books yet :-)
Will PM next person and try to get it out as soon as possible.

RELEASE NOTES: EnJoy the book as I did.
Sorry to break in but I thought you fellow dog lovers would sympathize. My fuzzy face baby (who is pictured above in my journal entry) just died a couple days ago. :( He was sick for about 6 weeks but he was only 10 years old and I was hoping he'd stay with us a little longer. I don't think he suffered though. I keep thinking about this sweet book and it has really made me feel better. I am going to buy a copy to read to my kids. Thanks again calicocollie for sharing. Now, everyone go hug your dogs!
Received today, thanks.
Yes, a lovely little book. I'm not looking forward to my love, my sweet-natured girl, my forever dog, crossing the bridge. She is young yet and the delight of my life (pictured here). Her companions, my cats, are in their twilight years, so sorrow isn't far away, but, oh, the joy they bring while they are here.Off to 1stlite when I receive an address.

I read it once more & posted it off to 1stlite this morning. I do not like to think of any of my furry babies crossing any bridges. Sigh! Talk about paying for your pleasures in this lifetime.
Received in the mail today. Read today. What a wonderful little book. I will get several of these for fellow doglovers I know. My family and I have all had our forever dogs. and this really hits home in that way. There is no way we couldn't have them with us forever! I will read this again tomorrow, maybe I can do it without crying.
Thanks so much for sharing. Will PM vzfamily and hopefully get it in the mail by Saturday. Thanks again!

What a sweet, endearing concept this book affords! I love the idea of crossing that bridge, and being welcomed by all my forever friends! (Taffy, Max, Dutchess, Kali...I miss you all!) And, what an opportune time to show off two of my favorite furry faces: Oona (the dog) and Sushi (the cat)
Thanks for sharing this with us, calico, it was a pleasure.

This little book arrived today, and we read it while dinner was warming up. It made me cry a little. Several of us will share our forever dog, Ebumu. Here is our Ebumu with my son and husband--all reading the book together.From Mr. Ebumu: It's a sweet and comforting way to think about dogs that you love, and the sadness of losing them.
Before Ebumu, we had another forever dog, Abby. She was also a beautiful Samoyed, but much smaller (44lb). She was as graceful as a cat, and never stepped on anything we left on the floor. That's quite unlike Ebumu, who is a big clumsy dog without a sense of where his backend is. Abby taught Ebu how to bark at the postman, the meter reader, and just about anything that came within eyeshot of our house. She also taught him how to ask sweetly for a walk by snuggling up and licking us. She taught him to sleep at the side of the bed, and they both agreed that the game of fetch was beneath them. Abby died during a big thunderstorm that blew up suddenly when our vet came to let her go. Since then, Ebumu has been deathly afraid of thunder. When there is a storm, he would prefer to be right on top of you. It's quite something to be woken up in the middle of a stormy night by a terrified 80+ lb. dog who's leapt up on the bed. (That's Ebu in the photo, Abby never learned to read).This little book is on its way to visit KarenZero now (media mail). Thanks, calicocollie and fellow dog people.
Will read ASAP!
I hope that what the book discribes is true. I like to imagine a heaven, similar to the one in The Lovely Bones, where all the pets from our lives are running around and playing together and having a good time.
I wanted to read this as a tribute to my forever dogs who are now gone:
Spunky, a yellow mix with a black snout, who was as playful and spunky as her name and who gave me a lot of comfort as a child when she slept curled up on the end of my bed.
Annie, a speckled part-dalmation mix who was michievious but also loving of her family and always wanted to protect us. A great judge of character, she even bit a man who later stole my parent's car.
and, Suzie, a black mostly-lab who was our family's greatest companion having lived to at least 16 or 17 years old. She was a wonderfully smart dog, who was known to put her paw against the dashboard as we stopped at a stop sign, and also wiped her feet after being in the backyard. She was a loving companion who is still sorely missed.

My forever dog, Oreo (see journal entry 7) died one week ago, 30 March 2006. She broke her leg in a freak accident at home. The break required orthopedic surgery, and she died following the surgery, when a blood clot broke loose and traveled to her lungs, limiting her oxygen intake, and ultimately producing heart failure.She was 8 years, 4 months, and 10 days old.
I bought a copy of this book several months ago--to have handy if I needed it for a friend. I never thought I would need it myself.
But Oreo had better get ready for her role as an angel. I've applied to adopt another greyhound. The best tribute I can pay Oreo is to acknowledge that she has made it imperative that I have as many greyhounds around as I can handle; I just can't conceive of not having them. And I made that promise to Oreo 4 years ago when I fell in love with her.
So she'll soon have a new dog to be angel for.
Bless you, darling Oreo.
KF, I'm so sorry for your loss of Oreo. I know how painful it is to lose your best buddy / confidante / snuggler. I'm sure Oreo will watch over your next dog.
Dancing-dog, I'm sorry to hear about your friend's loss. I'm glad this little book has reached so many dog lovers.

Received today. What a lovely book. Although I've had a few dogs I haven't found my forever dog yet but I'm looking forward to finding them in the future. Thanks for sharing this book with me. I'll post it off to MissyZ today.
Received safely in the stack of books waiting for me when I got home from my trip around America!
Thanks very much - This looks like a lovely little book that shouldn't take long to finish! I've PM'ed for RockDg9's address to get it sent on this week.

This is a beautiful little book and the pictures are wonderful.
I'm still waiting to find my Forever Dog...

Arrived today - looks like a cute little book.Pic. is of RockPuppy's (AKA Yogi) nose!
Loved this little book. And I loved reading all the journal entries too.
My forever dog was named Murray, he was a corgi cross kelpie - a very friendly and loyal dog - looked just like a corgi, only 3 times the size! He came into my life when I was 8 and departed when I was 18. It's nice to think that he is playing with my current puppy, Yogi, (who could almost be a forever dog as well). They are like chalk and cheese, but I am sure they'd get along famously.
This will now be travelling to Finland.

This wonderfull little book just arrived here & we started to read it immediately with Satya. I think we´ll read it a couple of times...and after it will return home. Thank you so much for sharing this treasure!
I'll read this small wonderfull book once again & on Monday I'll send it back home!
Thanks everyone for making this such a successful bookring! This book has returned home safely after going around (and around) the world. I've really enjoyed reading everyone's comments and seeing the forever dog pics.
Thanks to Katja and Satya for the postcard from Finland! And thanks to whoever included the BookCrossing patch!
