found.loved.bloomed. (woof)

For the dog who chose you.

found. loved. bloomed. is a guided book for creating the story of your life together, memory by memory.

Through pages of questions and playful prompts, photographs, a fun poem, and stories told from both your perspective and your dog's, you'll capture how you became family. From the ride home and the name to furry friends, favorite places, bath days, park nemeses, adventures, and all the wonderfully ordinary moments in between.

Some pages let your dog do the talking. Others turn the story over to you, because while you can't read their mind, anyone who has loved a dog knows they have a way of telling us exactly what they're thinking.

Every prompt belongs to them. Every memory belongs to you. Together, you tell the story.

The inspiration came from Maggy, a frightened rescue dog found wandering in the woods while pregnant. Her puppies found homes, but Maggy was still waiting. Seven weeks after first meeting her, I returned to the shelter and found her still there.

So I brought her home.

That car ride home began a story I never wanted to forget, and ultimately inspired found. loved. bloomed.

Made for new puppies, rescue dogs, old friends, and every dog who somehow became family, this is a book to fill with photographs, stories, laughter, and all the moments you'll want to remember years from now.

A meaningful gift for a new dog owner, rescue adopter, dog lover, or anyone lucky enough to have been chosen by a dog.

Every dog has a story. They just need someone to help tell it.
