I hope everyone enjoyed their weekend and I would like to start this week out by celebrating Green Gift Monday. For those of you looking to give a thoughtful, ecological friendly gift to a dog lover this holiday season or any time of the year consider the following options:
1. Make a donation in someone's name to your local humane society or animal rescue group. The Humane Society of Chittenden County has a Guardian Angel program that sponsors the home of an animal of your choice for six or twelve months. For more information visit www.chittendenhumane.org/get-involved/guardian-angel.
2. Bake some homemade dog treats and package them in a decorative reusable container.
3. Instead of using wrapping paper wrap a present with a reusable item such as a dog blanket and use a dog toy as a bow.

Happy Thanksgiving
I hope everyone has a safe and happy Thanksgiving. For those of you shopping on Black Friday weekend I have compiled a list of my favorite books for any dog lovers on your gift giving list.
1. The James Herriot collection which includes All Creatures Great and Small, All Things Bright and Beautiful, All Things Wise and Wonderful and The Lord God Made Them All.
2. The Art of Raising a Puppy by the Monks of New Skete and How to Raise the Perfect Dog Through Puppyhood and Beyond by Cesar Millan are good choices for someone with a new puppy.
3. Cesar's Way: The Natural, Everyday Guide to Understanding and Correcting Common Dog Problems and Cesar's Rules: Your Way to Train a Well-Behaved Dog by Cesar Millan.
4. Inside of a Dog by Alexandra Horowitz.
5. Getting in TTouch With Your Dog a Gentle Approach to Influencing Behavior, Health, and Performance and A TTouch of Magic for Dogs dvd by Linda Tellington-Jones. I found the dvd to be very helpful while working with one of my foster dogs who was afraid of being touched.
Most of these books are available as audio books as well as in print. Also the James Herriot collection was made into a movie available on dvd called All Creatures Great and Small.
