SummaryShirley MacLaine has found a perfect love in the furry
bundle of irresistible canine charms that is Terry. With
her winning terrier ways and an endless wellspring of love
with no strings attached, Terry has succeeded in doing what
no one before her ever has: slowing Shirley's peripatetic
travels, shifting the actress/author's global axis to
hearth and home. Now there are few greater pleasures for
Shirley than being with Terry on her ranch or on a New York
street, romping on the beach together, or sharing a long
plane ride to a new location for making a film. With Terry
by her side, Shirley sees the world in new ways she never
thought possible. As we join Shirley and Terry we see through their eyes how
they each provide a window for exploring the nature of
love. Together they shared at least one past life in
ancient Egypt, and possibly more. Together, too, they seek
to understand world events today: Are we beginning to
fulfill the ancient biblical prophecies? Is Armageddon
looming? And of course there is Terry as a constant gateway
to spirit, to being fully in each moment, to that boundless
love that surpasses all understanding. In a unique twist
that makes this book such a delight, we see Terry's point
of view on Shirley's domestic and inner life, as the
terrier's mistress continually questions the deeper nature
of reality. This book is an utterly charming, witty, and ultimately
wise memoir of one of the truly remarkable women of our
time. Out on a Leash is an irresistible bonbon for the
legions of MacLaine readers, and for dog lovers everywhere.
