Lessons a 150 lb furball Taught the World + My crazy arrival in Laguna Beach

from Best of Laguna Beach · host Diane Armitage

On Monday, Dec. 30th (seems like weeks ago already), I took a bit of a detour from my regularly scheduled “Best of Laguna Beach” show at KXFM Radio 104.7To wrap up the year, I told two personal (and sort of funny) stories.I first talked about how most of the residents here CHOSE Laguna Beach for their permanent residence … me included.How I actually arrived here is a rather astounding story.Then, I shared an old Christmas letter I wrote way back in 2003 about my beloved great Pyrenees, Merlin, passing away just a few days prior. Merlin was my 12-year companion who moved multiple times with me … four time, alone, to and within Laguna Beach.That particular Christmas letter about Merlin ended up being shared to a list of thousands of people, and it generated thousands and thousands of responses directly to me. In the short letter, I wrote about the greatest lessons Merlin taught me, and apparently those teaching moments from the lovable fur ball struck a chord with people all over the world. It was amazing. So, the Christmas letter eventually became a small e-book, and this is what I chose to read to all of you lovely listeners in my last show of the year.Here’s the e-book link if you’re interested.bit.ly/421WQCt
