Book Review: Climb that Fence and Take that Leap by Philip Johnsey

What life lessons can we learn from our pets--or from animals in nature?  As the proud parent of four cats, one crazy foxhound, and random tadpoles or other critters--I was excited to review Climb That Fence and Take that Leap by author Philip Johnsey.  What did I think of Climb That Fence and Take that Leap?

Quick summary of Climb That Fence & Take that Leap.  What can we learn about ourselves by watching animals or our own pets' behaviors?  Are there hidden lessons that pets and animals can teach us--if we pay attention?  Philip Johnsey shares a short compilation of personal animal stories to inspire--and encourage readers to watch pet antics from a slightly different perspective.

Climb That Fence & Take That Leap is a short, thought provoking read.  Johnsey picks only a few examples of pet and animal behavior that he's observed from his own cats or from animals in nature--and does a little soul searching with each observation.  What can he learn from the behaviors?  What life lessons could he share with readers?  As you read Climb That Fence & Take That Leap--your interpretations of each observation may differ based on your own life experiences.  However, as you read through the author's animal inspired-life lessons, you may find yourself thinking about pet behaviors differently--and realize that human animals are not really so different from their "wild" counterparts.

Would I recommend Climb That Fence & Take That Leap?  I'm certain that the author has many more stories to tell--and I look forward to reading more from him. This book is not as lighthearted as some such pet reflections--there are some deeper, personal reflections revealed.  The author has an obvious love of animals--and the ability to slow down, learn from his animal observations, and encourage others to do the same. I think it's a great book for animal lovers.
