Oodles of Fun!

Posted May 9 2014

This poodle belongs to author Becke Turner. She and her husband adopted Sammy, a Moyen Poodle, from the Carolina Poodle Rescue. She says he’s a perfect pet and they wonder why anyone would have dropped him off at the Tennessee shelter. However, they’re very glad they did! You can learn more about Becke at her website! Thanks, Becke, for […]

He finally decided Paula and her hubby were okay, stayed up at […]

Buddy, Shae, and Lady!

Posted May 6 2014

This trio of happy pups belong to reader Cecilia!  Shae looks very comfy there on her back.  Shae is a drama queen, according to Cecilia.  She certainly knows how to play it up for the camera, huh? That’s Buddy with his “What’s up, Mom?” expression. He’s part Saluki, part lab and, at 90 pounds, lots […]

This Couch is Comfy . . . and Delicious!

Posted May 4 2014

This photo of “Trixie” came to me courtesy of David, a fellow CPA.  After he rescued this Swiss Mountain Dog, she rewarded him by eating his new couch.  He says he’ll never again adopt a dog with “mountain” in its breed name. : ) Looks like eating couches is exhausting!  Bad girl, Trixie!

These adorable dogs belong to my brilliant editor, Holly Ingraham! The white one is Ninja, and the black one is Phantom. Holly is convinced Ninja was human in a former life – he likes to lay his head on pillows, huffs at you when he’s annoyed, and puts himself to bed at 9:30pm every day. Holly says that […]

Holly the Lab/Boxer!

Posted May 1 2014

 Holly is a rescue from the ASPCA. The older sister of Holly’s owner, Lisa, saw an article in the local paper with the headline “The Busy Boxer”. It seems Holly’s daddy not only had a litter with Holly’s Black Lab mommy, but also with another dog. So Holly is the daughter of a local celebrity. What a […]

Nice to know!! So excited

Haha! Our terrier mix and shepherd mix are certainly selective, too. They hear "treat" without fail, but "down" or "no!" don't always register. Raggs is such a cute name!

Reggie certainly looks happy! My own dog, Raggs, has "selective" hearing--and he's not well trained. But. Our dogs are family and we do love them.

Thanks, Barbara! I wish I could write faster, too! My ideas are backing up in my head. : ) I wish my brain had a USB port where I could automatically download the stories from my mind to the page. I'm so glad you enjoyed the book! I'm hard at work on the second one, A Trip with Trouble.
  Barbara
I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
