A few years back we lost our beloved pet dog Bear, who was not only our best and dearest friend but also the Vice President of Sunshine here at Atlantic Publishing. He did not receive a salary but worked tirelessly 24 hours a day to please his parents.

Bear was a rescue dog who turned around and showered myself, my wife, Sherri, his grandparents Jean, Bob, and Nancy, and every person and animal he met (well, maybe not rabbits) with friendship and love. He made a lot of people smile every day.

We wanted you to know a portion of the profits of this book will be donated in Bears memory to local animal shelters, parks, conservation organizations, and other individuals and nonprofit organizations in need of assistance.

Douglas and Sherri Brown

PS: We have since adopted two more rescue dogs: first Scout, and the following year, Ginger. They were both mixed golden retrievers who needed a home.

Want to help animals and the world? Here are a dozen easy suggestions you and your family can implement today:

• Adopt and rescue a pet from a local shelter.
• Support local and no-kill animal shelters.
• Plant a tree to honor someone you love.
• Be a developer put up some birdhouses.
• Buy live, potted Christmas trees and replant them.
• Make sure you spend time with your animals each day.
• Save natural resources by recycling and buying recycled products.
• Drink tap water, or filter your own water at home.
• Whenever possible, limit your use of or do not use pesticides.
• If you eat seafood, make sustainable choices.
• Support your local farmers market.
• Get outside. Visit a park, volunteer, walk your dog, or ride your bike.

Five years ago, Atlantic Publishing signed the Green Press Initiative. These guidelines promote environmentally friendly practices, such as using recycled stock and vegetable-based inks, avoiding waste, choosing energy-efficient resources, and promoting a no-pulping policy. We now use 100-percent recycled stock on all our books. The results: in one year, switching to post-consumer recycled stock saved 24 mature trees, 5,000 gallons of water, the equivalent of the total energy used for one home in a year, and the equivalent of the greenhouse gases from one car driven for a year.

Quick Reference: How to Have a Healthy Breakup

E ven if breaking up is the right thing to do, it is not easy. Here are some tips that can help you get through your breakup, no matter what side you are on:

• You can cry. Even if you think of yourself as tough, the emotional pain you are going through can bring anyone to tears. You might also want to call or text a friend or family member to offer you a literal shoulder on which to cry. You need to accept that it is fine to feel bad about the end of your relationship.
• Find new things to do. Now is the time to take the art class you have been thinking about or try to make your way through all of the Harry Potter movies. Maybe you can enroll in a taekwondo class or join a hockey team. Being depressed makes you want to sit around and mope, but resist the urge. The more you are active, the more things you will find to fill the emotional hole your ex left.
• Talk to other people. Try not to wear out your friends and family, but do not keep your feelings to yourself. Talk to other people and get those feelings off your chest. However, you will want to watch what you say, especially if you have mutual friends. You can talk about how you feel the relationship was not working, but do not badmouth your ex. Be as honest as possible. Keep your opinions and drama off Facebook, Twitter, Vine, etc.
