Karma Dogs appreciate the kindness that people have shown to them and now want to give back to the community that helped them. Our Karma Dogs are specially trained therapy dogs who love to be around people and give comfort and support wherever they can. For more information, check out www.KarmaDogs.org

Terple art is taking over classrooms everywhere…
I love when to receive drawings from kids after they read Terple. Check out all the great Terple artwork.
The University of Maryland LOVES Terple…
I was incredibly honored when I received this letter from Dr. Mote, President of the University of Maryland – College Park (home of the Terps) after he was given a copy of Terple. I owe a lot of my success in life to the lessons I learned at College Park and this letter was a very “full circle” moment for me.
Dear Richie,
I thank you most sincerely for your gift of Terple both in spirit and in design. I appreciate greatly honoring the University associated with the idea of adventure, going to beyond perceived limits and charting new courses for people and society. Terple is a reptile after my own heart! Thanks for thinking of me.
Yours,
Dan Mote

Foreshadowing?
Foreshadowing? For my 30th birthday, my dad gave me a picture he had kept over the years of an art project I did in 1989! The project is a turtle made out of crushed, painted egg shells. I was only 10 but something told me I had a spot in my heart for turtles.
