The death of an eclectic husband and loss of a contrary love leads unexpectedly to a better life. A trip with two good dogs through the insightful, funny, upheaval of home repair, career disaster, serial gardening and geezer dating.

An excellent choice for those touched by grief, ready for a change, or just wanting to read a beautifully written memoir.
--Library Journal

"By the time I finished reading Leave the Dogs at Home, I felt sure I was holding a future classic. The best thing about Claire Arbogast, besides her wonderful writing, is her hard-headed sense of intimacy and her stubborn determination to live a life of love—whatever craziness and jury-rigging that might require from the heart."

--Bob Shacochis, author of The Woman Who Lost Her Soul, 2014 Pulitzer Prize finalist
