    You're So Strong - On Grief and...

    How do you continue on with life while grieving something you were never prepared for? 
    One moment, Leslie Harter-Berg had it pretty darn good, and the next, she was a thirty-year-old widow and single mom to two rowdy boys under the age of three. Thrust into the arms of grief, her new life consisted of strange tasks, like notifying AT&T that her husband no longer needed unlimited data and deciding what to do with his grown-man Lego collection while she also planned a memorial and parented solo. 
    This is Leslie Harter-Berg's story, but it could be anyone's. Anyone who has lost a spouse or experienced another kind of grief--when life doesn't go as planned, but it keeps right on truckin' without waiting for you to catch your breath. 
    But Leslie's learned a thing or two since her husband's sudden death in 2019. Throughout her poignant and funny attempts to "do grief right," she came to accept that no one was grading her on her grief and that surviving is often a lot more profound and beautiful than thriving. 
    In this poignant, humorous, slightly irreverent yet totally relatable memoir-meets-grief-guide, Leslie will help you:Let go of the need to find a silver lining or a greater purpose in your griefValidate the odd, mundane, and very real things that happen after the death of a loved one or another traumatic life eventRedefine the stages of grief--and do the best living you can musterEmbrace the beautiful tension of conflicting emotions as you accept a life you never expected to liveKnow that life can still be amazing as you move forward and find hope again 
      
    You can be simultaneously splitting your gut laughing while carrying a constant ache of sadness in that very same gut. You can look forward to a future with someone while also resenting that a future has stopped being with another. And you can move through life after loss by relinquishing the need to "be so strong" and allowing yourself to fall apart--so you can find that God is right there, grieving alongside you.

    Why Is My Dog So Reactive Volume...

    “Before you can study an animal, you must first love it.” Konrad Lorenz. 
    Across the world we are killing too many dogs needlessly. 
    In Australia approximately 80% of all dogs that end up in shelters are there due to either Dog to Dog or Dog to Human Reactivity. Sadly, this is not a problem exclusive to Australia. 
    While this is a startling statistic, the sad truth is that the vast majority of dogs facing euthanasia in these shelters are highly salvageable and the solutions are often very simple to apply. Their death is not only unnecessary, but is a blight on how many owners and trainers not only poorly understand dogs, but often unintentionally train them to fail. 
    What is even harder to accept is that the solution to this epidemic of needless stress is available to everyone, and it starts from how we communicate and train our dogs in our homes, day to day. We have the ability to channel the drives and instincts of our dogs from potential problems into tools that can make these amazing animals thrive with a mind-set based on self-control and low stress, regardless of the environment our dogs are exposed to. 
    Best of all it can happen at home, every day. 
    We all have the ability to change how our dogs see triggers in life and in turn educate them into making better choices around how to respond to day-to-day situations in a positive and highly constructive way. 
    If this book can change the approach of just one person to achieve a better understanding of what causes reactivity in their dog, then that is one person more than before who has better vision and skills to help resolve this problem. 
    Thank you for taking the time to read this book and in doing so helping me at K-9iQ change the world one person and one dog at a time.

    A Thousand Ways to Pay Attention...

    It should have been Rebecca Schiller's dream come true: moving her young family to the English countryside to raise goats and coax their own fruit and vegetables from the land. But, as she writes: The summer of striding out toward a life of open fields and sacks of corn, I brought a confused black hole of something pernicious but not yet acknowledged along for the ride. 
     
     
     
    Rebecca's health begins to crumble, with bewildering symptoms: frequent falls, uncontrollable rages, and mysterious lapses in memory. As she fights to be seen by specialists, her fledgling homestead—and her family—hang by increasingly tenuous threads. And when her diagnosis finally comes, it is utterly unexpected: severe ADHD. 
     
     
     
    In her scramble for answers, Rebecca's consciousness alternately sears with pinpoint focus and spirals with connections. Childhood memories resurface with new meaning, and her daily life entwines with the history of women who tended this land before her. Her family weathers their growing pains where generations of acorns have fallen to rise again as trees, where ancient wolves and lynx once stalked the shadows. Written in unsparing, luminous prose, this is an all-absorbing memoir of one woman's newfound neurodivergence—and a clarion call to overturn the narrative that says minds are either normal and good or different and broken.
