Oh, and she puts this shiny gold thing in her black bag and goes to work 4-5 days a week, sometimes in the middle of the night.
Whew! No wonder she likes wine, chocolate and dog kisses on an evening she doesn't have a stack of laundry!
Anyway. Somewhere in there - she wrote a book. It's a book about a dog, but it's really a book about growing up, finding her way back to faith and family and an unexpected love story, of both the two and four legged kind. She worked hard to get it done so her Dad could read it before he too, was gone and he did. He cried and patted me and gave her a big hug.
Mom said if she wins--- the cash prize is going to Search Dog Foundation Click on their link to see all the wonderful things they do to help both animals and humans.
Please vote for Mom's book and for a good cause. Consider picking one up if you haven't-- for even if you don't vote, all of the monies from the book sale go to animal rescue/welfare/education.
The link to vote is below (just click or go to bookbzz.com) and you can just vote once between now and Feb. 28th. Thanks so much for voting and sharing this for your friends that may like to vote.

We are so sorry... we TRIED to vote but it wanted things that we are Not comfortable agreeing to.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of work! My ghostwriter does some writing too, besides The Daily Bone. We'll have to check out the book for sure!
ReplyDeleteOh, did Ruby contact you yet? Joey was wondering if Abby would like to go to the Heart-to-Heart party with him. He is a dignified older gentledog who is quite polite, except when it comes to squirrels.
Done! Congratulations and good luck!
ReplyDeleteFrankie Furter and Ernie - yes it wants to link twitter or gmail or facebook. I'm totally fine with you not voting then, but appreciate those that do! Thanks for trying!!
ReplyDeleteC.L.W. STEP: Yes, Ruby sent a note and Abby would LOVE to go to the Heart to Heart with Joey. She'd also happily chase squirrels with him. Thanks for asking.
M.K. Clinton - I appreciate it! There's some good books in there, I was just happy to be nominated.

What a tough, tough year. I am heading over to vote for your mom's book!
ReplyDeleteKB Bear - thank you for the vote for Mom. Promoting the book and helping the animals with it has made her smile again, as has Dad (he's the best Dad ever) and gives me lots of cuddles when she is working late.

Mark - thank you. I've worked alongside those dogs. They are looking for one group of people and I'm looking for another. It's a hard task - hope and closure there in a moment.
ReplyDeleteWe will vote!
