Conversations with My Old Dog: For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved and Lost a Pet [Paperback]

Robert Pasick (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 2000

A collection of poems as comforting as an old friend.

"Do you ever talk to your dogs? I confess. I do." Thus Robert Pasick welcomes you to listen in on his soulful chats with his devoted Yellow Lab, Lucy. Their "conversations" explore the stuff of everyday life - worry, forgiveness, friendship, loss, and old age - with the clarity and candor that accompany long walks in the woods with a trusted companion.

Pasick's poems have a natural familiarity and ease, from the whimsical," What Breed is God?" to the sentimental, "Boys and Dogs," and the tender, "Till We Meet Again." Celebrate life's joys, sorrows and wonders.

Black and white photos and illustrations of "faithful friends" add to the warmth and gentle spirit of Conversations with My Old Dog.

This review is from: Conversations with My Old Dog: For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved and Lost a Pet (Paperback)

A wonderful collection of reflective conversations that slow a racing mind and heart, and provide an audience with some realities of life too easily ignored and neglected. Rob's conversations with Lucy are a gift from both that are best read and read again.

This review is from: Conversations with My Old Dog: For Anyone Who Has Ever Loved and Lost a Pet (Paperback)

This book offers a charming and candid view into the sorrows and joys of pet ownership, love and loss. I strongly recommend it to anyone who is looking for an honest, emotional and witty read. My favorite of all the poems, "Squirrel Killer," put a smile on my face as I thought of my old dog Blackie. It's refreshing to read such a relatable and lovely compilation of poetry.
