I finished the book I decided to read for Christmas over a week ago. It was a short fast read that I really enjoyed. It made you appreciate the special people and animals that come into our lives. It shows that everyone no matter what their ability have a place in this crazy world.

Product Description
In this heartwarming novel, author Greg Kincaid tells the tender story of how one very special dog changed the lives of his adoptive family—and an entire town—forever.“Todd, they always want you to adopt a dog. That’s what they do. Besides, we don’t need another animal around here, and most definitely not a dog.”When Todd McCray, a developmentally challenged young man still living on his parents’ Kansas farm, hears that a local animal shelter is seeking temporary homes for its dogs during the days leading to Christmas, he knows exactly what he wants for the holidays. His father objects, but Todd’s persistence quickly wins out. Soon the McCrays are the short-term foster family for a lovable pooch the young man names Christmas.But what about all the other dogs who will be forced to spend the Yuletide season in cages? In the days that follow, Todd uses his special gifts of persuasion to encourage his hometown to participate in the “Adopt a Dog for Christmas Program.” What follows from his small act of kindness will teach his family, and his community, about peace on earth and good will toward men—and animals.
The best part of all. . . .We saw somewhere around 50 elk at Boxley. They were on two bottom fields and also on the other side of the road in some brush. I have never seen this many before.
If you click on this picture and enlarge it, you should be able to see the large rack on the big bull.
And of course a self portrait. My arm needs to be longer.
