Dean Koontz's love for Trixie is palpable. Her impact on his life and outlook are truely special. Definitely a sweet account of a man and his dog.

I had read all the other Trixie books so I thought this would be more of the same. But it had new stories and insight into dealing with the illness and death of a beloved pet. We know when we take a dog into our lives that we will probably loose it in a few years. Yet we go into the relationship willingly and even joyfully, living in the moments. Because we know that it will break our hearts in the end, we learn the best life lesson dogs teach us--of living in and savoring the present.

I fell in love with Trixie Koontz when I read "Bliss To You". This book (audio CD) is the story of how Dean Koontz and his wife Gerda acquire Trixie. She had been trained as a companion dog but because of a problem with her elbow she had to be dropped from the program.
Right from the beginning the Koontz's knew this was a special dog. Actually an amazing dog. I loved this story. I have the book as well as the CD and the pictures in the book are priceless. You will love this very unique dog and some of her antics.
The ending broke my heart but I was crying and smiling at the same time. I highly recommend this book to all who love animals more than people but realize that in all likelihood they will preceed us to The Rainbow Bridge.
