dean koontz, dog owner & trixie koontz, author

I should be brushing Jarvis every single day and I've been slacking for a while. I've been doing better recently but as I'm a) not obsessive compulsive and b) a bit of a slob, I doubt I'll ever get to the dog grooming level of writer Dean Koontz:

Koontz is a neat freak whose canine companion, Trixie, is walked for exactly one hour every morning and then brushed for precisely 45 minutes (by Koontz or his wife, Gerda; they alternate days) and then brushed again for 10 minutes every night — all possibly an effort to prevent even one of her golden hairs from being shed in the spotless Koontz house.

That's almost an hour of brushing every day! I'm lucky if I even give my own hair a cursory combing every other day!

Trixie Koontz, who paid her dues in her former life as a service dog, has a book of her own out, Life is Good!: Lessons in Joyful Living.

All the proceeds go to Canine Companions for Independence, the organization that trained her. Now that's a good dog!
