SOPHIE

I was working at the local shelter the first time I saw Sophie. She was laying in deathly silence in one of the stray kennels. A big black dog and I was in love again. When I heard her story and learned she was considered "unadoptable"  because she was 12 years old and incontinent, I stated, "Well, I'll adopt her."

Totally relieved, staff cautioned me this would probably be for hospice. I just smiled. By that time, Sophie and I had talked. She said we'd have two or three years. We had three. During that time, Sophie relished her role as the "fun police." Whenever the younger dogs would dash into the back yard and start to play, Sophie would hurry behind them, barking insistently until they stopped. Then she would look at me and snicker, while the younger dogs would beg me to make her stop.

Toward the end of our time together, Sophie developed a tumor at the base of her tail that wouldn't heal. She tried to make me promise to help her cross the Rainbow Bridge when the time came, but I couldn't. We had pulled off one miracle and I wanted one more. Finally, emaciated and ill, she refused to leave the vet's office, insisting it was time for her to go Home. I reluctantly agreed, as she knew I would, and she was gone in an instant. Only the survival instinct in that Giant Schnauzer body, bred as a war dog, kept her hanging on. Broken-hearted, I took her body to be cremated.

That is not the end of Sophie's story, which will be continued in the follow-up book to this one, which I am currently working on. She will be back--and we will share more experiences together!

Holiday Giveaway--Win ebooks & a Kindle!

 

For all of December, I'm participating in a month-long promotion with 24 authors offering a mixed genre of books, including those with a holiday theme.

Included in this promotion is the anthology, Once Upon a Christmas Moon, which includes my novella, Christmas Pawsibilities. This anthology is specially priced at 99 cents for the Kindle version.

Includes the novellas:

TWELVE DAYS TO LOVE
When Archer Steele shows up at Calanthe Durand's failing plantation with
an alligator over his shoulder, Cali thinks she's never seen a more
handsome man. During the war she had to defend herself and her servants
from both union and confederate soldiers. Independent and
self-sufficient, she vows to never marry. But Archer Steele has
different ideas. The first time Archer sees Cali in town, he feels an
instant attraction. He decides he will do everything and anything to
convince the beautiful Miss Durand he is worthy of her love. During the
weeks leading up to Christmas, he gives her twelve gifts in hopes she
will fall in love with him.

BOOTS AND BLADES
An ancient evil from the old country has arrived in the high desert of
Oregon. Gnome children are vanishing then re-appearing, showing various
stages of traumatization. Tiamoon, warrior gnome, will put her skills to
use alongside Killian, a handsome warrior, also in need of a cause.

CHRISTMAS PAWSIBILITIES
With their world destroyed and their space ship malfunctioning,
the dogizens of Planet Canid have little choice but to crash land on Earth.
They face tortuous experiments at the hands of the Geeks in Green...
or they can trust an eccentric inventor and his zany family to deliver
the Canine Queen's puppies and help them celebrate new lives.

Thanksgiving on the farm...

When I was doing chores this chilly morning, one of the brown hens was on the nest. (My chickie girls have grown up together from chicks, so they share a nest for laying eggs or maybe use two.) She didn't come down to eat, but stayed on the nest. On one of my trips back and forth, she stood up. I got the message she was protecting the eggs she and the other chickie girls had laid until I gathered them. They understand I gather eggs every day, and that is their "payment" for food and shelter, and it also brings great delight to the human (me). So I got an egg carton and carefully gathered the eggs out from under her and thanked her for keeping them safe. She hopped off the nest and went about her day--her job was done. Another reminder that animals know far more than most humans give them credit for, and making me feel gratefully humble for the gift of the critters who share the farm with us humans.

 Mini-celebration for me!
I have finished the major work on the next book
in the Aunt Maddie's Doggone Misadventures series
and am doing edits.
This means all the books in this series
are much on my mind, including the boxed sets.
This boxed set includes the first three books in this series.

Chasing Rainbows:

An artistically eccentric aunt, an uncle who invents a mechanical dog, a mother who wears poodle skirts, and a brother who wears pearls provide a hilarious backdrop for the courtship of a young woman who yearns for a "normal" family.

St. Batzy & the Time Machine:
An eccentric inventor is determined to reclaim his wayward time machine from the neighbor girl's dog and save his beloved wife from her latest misadventure. If only they can travel safely past the black hole...

No More Poodle Skirts:
After drifting for years in the innocent age of the 1950s, a woman struggles to join today's world by finding a career and a new love, with some help from her zany family and a talking dog.
