A tale that will leave paw prints on your heart.
A New Leash On Life, the ninth book in the Dragonfly Cove Dog Park series, is a tender story of unexpected change.
Libby Moore has been a caregiver to her loving husband, Don, for three years. An early diagnosis of dementia for Don turned their world upside down. With the help of of PSA’s, Libby was able to continue being a librarian at the elementary school. Evenings and weekends were devoted to Don until it was no longer possible to care for him. Retirement gave Libby options for travel and some free time. Suddenly her son, transferred to Australia for three months, needed a big favor. Could cat-owner Libby take in a new pup for a short time until his family returned to Dragonfly Cove? Libby questions how she would ever adjust to the demands of a dog, even if it was temporary. But she cannot say no to the pleas of her grandchildren. A heartwarming story of how embracing the unexpected with an open heart can lead to remarkable discoveries. Life’s surprises often remind us that beauty lies in unpredictability, and that the best experiences often come in ways we never imagined.

A Moving Ending. Yet again packing quite a bit of story into such scant page count, this is a great ending to this series that gives an epilogue of our dog breeder Leslie's adventures while also telling a compelling story of life after your long time husband has been diagnosed with dementia. It *also* manages to spend the most time out of the United States than any other book, and only Collar Me Crazy, book 2 of the series, spends more time outside of Dragonfly Cove itself.
And yet the tale here is still absolutely centered around Dragonfly Cove and this most recent litter of puppies from Leslie. Here, Chance gets his time to star as the central puppy of the story - and yes, once again (as is so often in this series) he tends to steal the scene most times he's around.
Again using an elderly main character (as the previous book, Teacher's Pet did), this tale does a remarkable job of showing both blood and found family and how they all come together. Truly a great tale in a small package, and yet again more evidence of how page count doesn't give any indication of just how good a story is, with this one clocking in just over 150 pages.
Very much recommended.
