Publisher Description
Bestselling author Dean Koontz says that his dog, Trixie, changed his life and made him a better, happier person. A 68-pound dog who lived close to the ground, Trixie certainly did cast a long shadow. She first became known outside of her own house (doghouse, that is) as a guest blogger on Dean’s website, signing off every entry Life is Good, Bliss to You. Now, in this warm and funny book –- as told to Dean Koontz -- Trixie once again shares her inspiring outlook on life and reveals the eight steps that anyone can take to achieve not merely happiness, but bliss. Packed with dog wisdom, both poignant and funny, this charming and heartfelt book gives the listener much food for thought -- which might not be as tasty as a bowl of kibble but is nonetheless nourishing. Bliss to You!

"Beautiful little book full of doggy wit and wisdom on how to find bliss in life. When they wax philosophical, Trixie and Dean Koontz have a wonderful way with words that will fill you up with love for life. I actually love Dean Koontz writings about Trixie better than any of his novels. LOL!"

" Trixie's advice was humorous yet true in so many ways. I've always said we as people should try to be as happy and excited as dogs are over the simple every day joys in our lives--things we tend to take for granted. My dogs become giddy with joy over their daily walk, treat, or a new tennis ball. :) "
— Deeanna, 1/27/2014 -
" Very cute book from Trixie the dog's perspective. Dogs certainly know how to find bliss,, a good meal, a car ride and a belly rub are big parts of it for them. "
— Glennie, 1/19/2014 -
" This is just fun. Trixie Koontz and her dad, Dean Koontz, are great writing partners! "
— Lorri, 1/18/2014 -
" Eight steps to finding bliss as told by Dog. Problem is, at least with the book on CD, Trixi's writing style gets a bit tedious. The message is good, but even at just an hour the CD version needs to be done in shorter doses. "
— Steve, 1/9/2014 -
" A wonderful quick read for any animal lover, especially dog lovers. The writing style takes getting used to, kind of like reading a Muppet dialogue, but fun and heartwarming just the same. "
