Puppies?? Puppies at Dog Hotel? A new Dog Hotel Courtesy Taxi roaming around town doing courtesies for homeless persons? What ‘s this that the Countessa said?

Yes.

It’s all here with an unexpected outcome in the new animated song -story Dog Hotel short story.

It’s the only holiday movie you’ll need this year. It will pull your heart up and off the couch and get you up celebrating life, because, as the Countessa said, “…Life is beautiful, and we must celebrate it every day.”

Coming soon to this and the official Dog Hotel website by Heidi Hansen at http://www.doghotelbooks.wordpress.com.

oh — and what is Dog Hotel doing on a trauma recovery website?

Because practicing joy, practicing comfort, is necessary, not a luxury. These are vital to good mental health. Life-affirming activity with high engagement is central to trauma recovery.

See you soon at Dog Hotel — take care, — and carpe woofum!

Last week my hemotology – oncology doctor heard my pain over this, and my fears for her not knowing where I was or why I wasn’t coming to get her, or if she was in harm’s way. doctor said, ”put your dog in a prayer field in your mind and heart.” Doctor talked a bit about his love for Hawaii, which is my homeland, and we came up together that the prayer field would be my child hood beach, and there would be a Hawaiian tutu, a grandmother to all, a healer of Hawaiian islands, on that beach watching over my dog, Maile Lei. this video and song was prompted by that meditation of her on the prayer beach with tutu. sorry about my singing on the video, I just just couldn’t do it without my voice catching and cracking. — heidi
