EARTH SONG Books & Gifts
by Linda Michaels T
he alcove of Earth Song Books & Gifts invites dogs and pet parents to take a refreshing break from the busy Del Mar business district. One of the first things new mother-daughter business owners Roza and Annette Palmer did
was post a “Dogs Are Welcome” sign and place a bowl of cool water at the store entrance for canine guests. This local treasure
stocks a variety of animal/ pet, new age/spiritual, home/garden and children’s books. They also feature a selection of books that I personally recommend for training: Victoria Stilwell’s It’s Me or the Dog: How to Have the Perfect Pet; Dr. Ian Dunbar’s Before & After Getting Your Puppy: The Positive Approach to Raising a Happy, Healthy and Well-Behaved Dog; and Pat Miller’s Positive Perspec- tives: Love Your Dog, Train Your Dog. In addition, the store offers the Rover Woof Edition, a giant, museum-quality book of stunningly detailed dog photographs by Andrew Grant. Proceeds benefit local pet shelters. Earth Song also hosts community pet-oriented events, such as book signings with author Charmaine Hammond and her dog, Toby, of On Toby’s Terms fame.
Roza and Annette’s 3-month-old Maltese puppy, Coby, asks, “Who ever said dogs can’t read?”

Del Mar is a prominent dog-loving community, sponsoring the annual Ugly Dog contest, Surf Dog Surf-a-Thon competition and Pet Expo, and home to an array of dog-loving business owners that bring their dogs to work each day. Over time, Roza and Annette have come to know all the neighborhood dogs. They con- fide, “It’s no secret that dogs have become one of the greatest highlights of owning this store. The dogs often give us kisses, and we always shower them with love.”
