To the World Canine Freestyle Organization Newsletter: “Just for the Moment-a treasure.
My husband Alan and I and our Scottie Cleo were awarded a treasure of a little book at the 10th National, Just for the Moment by Deanna Klingel. She is a freestyler with a special gift for therapy work with her dogs. Each tiny chapter touches your heart strings without being maudlin or sappy. It is a book full of warmth, humility and charm. Our world is a better place because of folks like her and her wonderful dogs. For me, with an aged father and Sassy Senior Spouse, her insight into human aging and frailty was also very special. As a stocking stuffer for friends or as a gift to yourself I urge that you get this book.”—Peggy and Alan Cheever and the Scotties
