Press Release Body: Are you a worrywart? Even the calmest of us get frazzled by the
extra bustle of the holidays. We need to take time to enjoy the moment, and frolic a
little, even at this busy time of year.

Thank heavens for a fuzzy friend and most unlikely teacher to show us how! Meet
Casey B. Worrywart, Dogtor of Philosophy. Casey is a great example for all who fret
their way through life. Who better than a humble pup to remind us all to take time
to play, to love unconditionally and to be brave when faced with things bigger than
us?

For the harried shopper, his comment while lying blissfully on a couch, "Rest up
often. It's good for the soul and other body parts," brings balance to the daily
frenzy. He also shrugs off the results of a rough day at the groomer\'s: \"Bad hair
days come with life. Worry about other things. With bad hair days, you can just wait
them out. Eventually you figure out how to fix it...the hair and the day.\"

Finally, while posing for holiday photos, Casey observes: "Put up with ribbons,
bows, antlers, and other stuff once a year during the holidays. It's a people thing.
They really seem to need it."

Everything worried Casey, but he overcame his fears to enjoy his animal friends and
family. His everyday victories and his ability to play ball for relaxation (but only
on his own terms), as seen through the eyes of his board-certified psychiatrist
"mom," Dr. Iris Bell, offer a wonderful solution to those holiday blues.

"Chew On Things - It Helps You Think: Words of Wisdom From a Worried Canine" is a
delightful marriage of observation, philosophy, and humor, including quotes and
anecdotes from not only the Dogtor, but also from great human writers and thinkers.
This award-winning manual of Casey\'s canine tidbits of advice has been nationally
recognized with First Prize for Nonfiction in the 2007 Writer's Digest International
Self-Published Book Award competition and was a 2007 Finalist in the Animals/Pets
Category in the Indie Excellence Book Awards.

The full-color, 120-page, hardbound book is available from Creative Bookworm Press,
$16.95, and in e-book form, $9.95. To help contain your worries, a companion journal
is available. "Chew on Things Workbook for Fellow Worriers" was awarded First Prize
for Self-Help Journals and Quotes in the 2007 USA Book News Best Books competition.

With 10 percent of the proceeds going to help animal rescue and charity
organizations, readers can feel good about giving back. Casey's advice about
friendship, playtime, and reaching out to others rings true all year round, but it\'s
especially important at holiday time. He reminds us how simple companionship can be,
and how necessary for both our physical and mental health. Give "Chew On Things - It
Helps You Think: Words of Wisdom From a Worried Canine" as a holiday treat, for
yourself or someone you love. It really is a dog's life!
