Dave Barry - Lessons from Lucy: The Simple Joys of an Old, Happy Dog

Upcoming Event

Sunday, April 7, 2019 - 5:00pm to 6:00pm

Looking for ways to enter middle age with a healthy, upbeat attitude, Barry, the Pulitzer Prize-winning humor columnist, turned to Lucy, his rescue dog. Embodying the cheerfulness he strove to emulate, Lucy taught Barry seven essential life lessons, including making new friends and staying in touch with old ones, living in the present, letting go of anger and daily grievances, and taking an open, trustful approach to life. Playful yet sincere, this primer for aging well includes wry accounts of Barry’s as well as Lucy’s experiences, along with a healthy dose of Barry’s signature sarcasm and wit.

Preceding this event, DC Paws Rescue will host a dog adoption event in front of the store. The event will begin at 3:30 p.m. and run for about two hours.
