An NPR Best Book of 2022 USA TODAY Bestseller This revolutionary approach to cleaning and organizing helps free you from feeling ashamed or overwhelmed by a messy home. If you’re struggling to stay on top of your to-do list, you probably have a good reason: anxiety, fatigue, depression, ADHD, or lack of support. For therapist KC Davis, the birth of her second child triggered a stress-mess cycle. The more behind she felt, the less motivated she was to start. She didn’t fold a single piece of laundry for seven months. One life-changing realization restored her sanity—and the functionality of her home: You don’t work for your home; your home works for you. In other words, messiness is not a moral failing. A new sense of calm washed over her as she let go of the shame-based messaging that interpreted a pile of dirty laundry as “I can never keep up” and a chaotic kitchen as “I’m a bad mother.” Instead, she looked at unwashed clothes and thought, “I am alive,” and at stacks of dishes and thought, “I cooked my family dinner three nights in a row.” Building on this foundation of self-compassion, KC devised the powerful practical approach that has exploded in popularity through her TikTok account, @domesticblisters. The secret is to simplify your to-do list and to find creative workarounds that accommodate your limited time and energy. In this book, you’ll learn exactly how to customize your cleaning strategy and rebuild your relationship with your home, including: -How to see chores as kindnesses to your future self, not as a reflection of your worth -How to start by setting priorities -How to stagger tasks so you won’t procrastinate -How to clean in quick bursts within your existing daily routine -How to use creative shortcuts to transform a room from messy to functional With KC’s help, your home will feel like a sanctuary again. It will become a place to rest, even when things aren’t finished. You will move with ease, and peace and calm will edge out guilt, self-criticism, and endless checklists. They have no place here. |

An emotional, rousing novel inspired by the incredible true story of two giraffes who made headlines and won the hearts of Depression-era America. “Few true friends have I known and two were giraffes…” Woodrow Wilson Nickel, age 105, feels his life ebbing away. But when he learns giraffes are going extinct, he finds himself recalling the unforgettable experience he cannot take to his grave. It’s 1938. The Great Depression lingers. Hitler is threatening Europe, and world-weary Americans long for wonder. They find it in two giraffes who miraculously survive a hurricane while crossing the Atlantic. What follows is a twelve-day road trip in a custom truck to deliver Southern California’s first giraffes to the San Diego Zoo. Behind the wheel is the young Dust Bowl rowdy Woodrow. Inspired by true events, the tale weaves real-life figures with fictional ones, including the world’s first female zoo director, a crusty old man with a past, a young female photographer with a secret, and assorted reprobates as spotty as the giraffes. Part adventure, part historical saga, and part coming-of-age love story, West with Giraffes explores what it means to be changed by the grace of animals, the kindness of strangers, the passing of time, and a story told before it’s too late. |

The death of any dog is hard. The death of a Heart Dog – a canine soul mate – is much, much worse ... Canine soul mates may happen just once in a lifetime. With such great love comes epic grief after your Heart Dog dies. Even if you’ve experienced pet loss before, life without your canine soul mate is much harder. Typical grief advice isn’t enough. Sometimes challenging traditional thinking about grief, Heart Dog answers all the big questions about canine soul mates, offers practical ideas for coping with each day’s dose of grief, and provides inspiration for finding your place in the world after such a profound loss. Strategies and insights come from the author and 500 people who participated in an online survey. Others have survived the grief. You can too. Let Heart Dog be your guide. Advance Praise for Heart Dog! “Honest, concise, and ultimately hopeful, veteran author and dog-lover Roxanne Hawn has transformed the deep pain of losing her canine soul mate Lilly into an empathetic guide that provides wisdom and comfort to any of us who have experienced the loss of a much beloved pet. Balancing her own story with those shared by her readers, Hawn walks the reader through the painful process of loss from the early stages of grief through the memorials that help us heal. So many people struggling with their feelings ask themselves, ‘Am I alone in feeling this way?’ and ‘Will I ever get better?’ Heart Dog will assure them, with candor and compassion, the answers — in order — are “No” and “Yes.” - Dr. Jessica Vogelsang, veterinarian and author of All Dogs Go to Kevin “When I lost my Heart Dog, luckily I had a few long-distance friends who knew what I was going through, and they were an immense help. If you’re experiencing the shock and devastation of losing your canine soul mate, and none of your friends and family seem to understand, Roxanne Hawn’s words in Heart Dog can be that long-distance friend that you need. Told from the vantage point of her own devastating grief, along with input from a survey of 500 others who’ve lost their heart dogs, the book helps you understand what to expect in the coming days, weeks, months and more as you slog through your grief and find your new normal. Heart Dog would make a great gift, for yourself or a loved one suffering the profound loss of a heart dog.” - Jackie Bouchard, USA Today bestselling author of Rescue Me, Maybe “Roxanne Hawn has the rare gift of melding emotion and logic in good writing. She offers the practical advice of dealing with the day-by-day, step-by-step acceptance of the loss of a heart dog. Never preachy, never judgmental, this book offers the reader tools and the space to deal with the emptiness of losing a best friend.” - Leland Dirks, author of Seven Dogs in Heaven “A hopeful, encouraging read. Heart Dog is like having your best friend put their arm around your shoulder and tell you everything’s going to be okay.” - Peggy Frezon, author of Faithfully Yours “Roxanne’s experience mirrored so many of my own emotions I felt after losing my Maltese, Angel, nearly 20 years ago. Having had multiple dogs throughout my life, I really hadn’t considered any of them a Heart Dog until remembering my grief over Angel. I wish I had this book then.” - Kerri Fivecoat-Campbell, Author of Living Large in our Little House: Thriving in 480-Square Feet with Six Dogs, a Husband and One Remote “Heart Dog does an amazing job of capturing and exploring the personal, and often indescribable, feelings of grief and loss that come with the death of a treasured pet. This book is a great resource for anyone currently grieving the loss of their Heart Dog.” - Dr. Stacy D. Meola, veterinarian and board-certified veterinary emergency and critical care specialist |

Most of us see dogs as part of our family and love nearly everything about them. However, there are always going to be behaviors from our dogs that we might want to change. This book outlines simple, effective ways to change your dog’s behavior that do not fall under conventional training recommendations. Known as management, these solutions focus on preventing unwanted behaviors from occurring, leading to a more harmonious life with your dog. Each chapter dives into a different behavior issue that dog guardians commonly face, including: • Getting into the trash • Dashing out doors • Jumping on guests • Barking • Pulling on leash • Counter-surfing • And more... Management can give a family immediate relief from the challenging behavior they are experiencing from their dog and allow for progress to be built from there. Sometimes, implementing management prevents dog training services from being needed at all. While some dog training books touch on the concept of management, there is no other book that focuses as much on using this powerful technique as this one does. In this book, you will gain an understanding of what management is and how to use it, as well as learn about dog behavior and the science of learning. Ultimately, Manage It! is about supporting and enriching the human-canine bond through behavior-change solutions that work for both ends of the leash. What reviewers are saying... Finally! A much-needed book about what every professional trainer knows: The management of a behavioral problem can be just as important as training, and often more practical. Kudos to DeWillems for giving us this essential book! Patricia McConnell, PhD, CAAB, author of Other End of the Leash This book speaks with clarity to the average pet guardian, but it's a great resource for the professional trainer as well. It will be a welcome addition to any dog lover's library. Ken Ramirez, Executive Vice President and Chief Training Owner of Karen Pryor Clicker Training, author of Animal Training Management is the cornerstone of preventing behavior problems, and it is also the first step to changing emotions about particular triggers or modifying concerning behavior. This book takes a practical look at management hacks that owners can implement TODAY with their pups. There is just a wealth of information, pictures, and experience from a trusted behavior consultant here - I can't wait to share this book with my clients! Amy L. Pike, DVM, DACVB, CDBC, Veterinary Behaviorist, owner of Animal Behavior Wellness Center Finally, a book that concisely and compassionately communicates the power of small environmental changes to improve our dogs’ behaviors. In it, you’ll find dozens of actionable tips to create a happier home & to further any training plan. What a relief! Kathy Sdao, MA, author of Plenty in Life is Free: Reflections on Dogs, Training and Finding Grace I am a huge fan of management for unwanted dog behaviors and strongly agree with author Juliana DeWillems that management isn’t given enough credit in the canine behavior and training world. This book is a delightful blend of science-based and useful information presented in a well-written, easily accessible style, jam-packed with great management solutions that any dedicated dog guardian will be able to understand and implement with reasonable ease. A great addition to any dog-lover’s bookshelf!

The heartwarming and unforgettable story of a family and the wondrously neurotic dog who taught them what really matters in life. Now with photos and new material. Is it possible for humans to discover the key to happiness through a bigger-than-life, bad-boy dog? Just ask the Grogans. John and Jenny were just beginning their life together. They were young and in love, with not a care in the world. Then they brought home Marley, a wiggly yellow furball of a puppy. Life would never be the same. Marley grew into a barreling, ninety-seven-pound streamroller of a Labrador retriever. He crashed through screen doors, gouged through drywall, and stole women's undergarments. Obedience school did no good -- Marley was expelled. But just as Marley joyfully refused any limits on his behavior, his love and loyalty were boundless, too. Marley remained a model of devotion, even when his family was at its wit's end. Unconditional love, they would learn, comes in many forms. Marley & Me is John Grogan's funny, unforgettable tribute to this wonderful, wildly neurotic Lab and the meaning he brought to their lives. |
