DOGS ROCK! (CATS, TOO)

 Good morning!!!

I love dogs. I love cats. I love all animals. 

Every single one of my books features a dog and a few even have a cat in them. 

I've only had two dogs in my life - Rico and my current pup Asher - and I have discovered what lifesavers they are. 

Rico was sick a lot of his life with heart disease and almost made it to age thirteen. He was my rock, my lifesaver, who saw me through many changes and was always by my side, wagging his tail, exploring many challenges with me, and always eager for a new adventure walk. When he passed away, I was heartbroken and never wanted another dog. I couldn't imagine ever finding one as beautiful as Rico.

Then along came Asher. I contacted a friend to ask her where she got her Havanese - thinking down the road another furry friend might enter my life after all. She informed me her dog was pregnant and I was welcomed to a pup. And so I accepted her gift - and Asher came home to live with me.

Asher, like Rico, is truly a gift of joy, happiness, and love.  He entered my life with eagerness to explore life, excitement, fun, and joy. 

I found myself smiling more, laughing more, waking up surrounded by joy. 

Yes, dogs do rock and I feature one, or several, in each book I write. 

Thanks for listening - just wanted to share my love of dogs.
