Xine's Pack of Strays & Others: A Memoir Kindle Edition

by Xine Segalas (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
5.0 5.0 out of 5 stars 3 ratings
See all formats and editions
Life isn't easy, but there are two essential things that Xine Segalas uses to help her navigate daily. First, writing every morning in a journal to download her thoughts, a habit she started as a teenager and continues to practice to this day. Second, but always first in priority, are her dogs, her "pack", Xine's pack. The dogs that help her get through the daily crap, even when they are adding to it.

Everyone knows one of these dogs. If you don't have one of them yourself, your friend or neighbor does, or you see them on the street. They are Shetland Sheepdogs, Brittanys, Goldendoodles, Aussie Shepherds, and mixed breeds. They're the dogs that make you laugh and make you cry, sometimes simultaneously. The ones you rescued only to realize they saved you. They are the dogs that left us too soon and the ones that needed our help to make the tough decisions. Their imprints are all over our hearts, and the lessons they teach are immeasurable. "Strays and Others" is a collection of those stories - the adventures, the misadventures, and everything in-between - and the lessons Xine and her family learned about life from their furry and feathery friends.

5.0 out of 5 stars For the love of dogs

The memories that Xine has recreated in this book brought me back to a wonderful past that I had almost forgotten. The neighbors dogs that I used to play with as a child came back to me. As a child we were not allowed to have dog so I would befriend all the dogs in the neighborhood. I have such fond memories of those experiences. Xine brings me back with her knowledge and description of how life was when I grew up. I could actually visualize so many of the moments of the book. I now am blessed with six dogs and understand the love that the author has for all those four legged woofies past and present. Well done!

A life in dogs. In the spirit of Abigail Thomas's THREE DOG LIFE, Chloe Shaw's WHAT IS A DOG, and Jim Shepard and Amy Hempel's UNLEASHED, Xine Segalas has written a moving memoir that traces the dogs of her life and the tracks they've left behind. The book reminds us of what our dogs remind us of: we are worthy of love, even at our most flawed. A beautiful testament to the power of the animal/human relationship.

5.0 out of 5 stars A love Letter To Xine’s Dogs

Xine Segalas takes us on a journey through her life, describing how each dog she's met has been by her side through the ups and downs of life. She describes how the dogs' affection provided her courage and compassion via hilarious anecdotes, emotional recollections, and how each dog left impressions of their paws on her and her family members' hearts. This is a book for dog owners who see their dogs as more than simply a pet; they are family members who will be there for you through thick and thin.
