Rescued

by Miriam Newman

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Non-Fiction

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

What do you do when you are alone in the world? If you're a nice middle-aged lady with a social conscience, you go to your local shelter and adopt a rescue dog. Of course, sometimes it isn't only the dog who needs to be rescued. That's when life might send you a Dancer-Dog.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT ONE:

“We’re home,” I said in that tone you use when you give a dog the good news, and her soft ears pricked.  She sat up, looking eagerly out the window.  She hadn’t come to any palace, just a hundred-year-old Victorian cottage swamped with evergreens, bamboo and a lot of weeds I never found time to whack.  But it boasted a fascinating yard I had already decided to have fenced in despite the cost.  Sam and I walked the perimeter of the proposed yard so the dog could pee copiously once more, and then my friend had to take her leave of us.  She had been walking Dancer and the dog seemed a trifle confused when I took the leash, as though she had considered Sam her new owner, but when I led her into a warm place that smelled like food, she went right in.

       

Kitty, accustomed to dogs, actually deigned to thump down from the rocking chair to greet us.  The next thing I knew, I was flattened against the solid oak door as a rampaging whirlwind ripped out of my unprepared grasp.  The cat had MOVED--God save the mark!—and Dancer responded instantly.  Poor Kitty, who hadn’t run that fast since her youth, whipped up the slippery wooden steps.  She was able to make good her getaway because Dancer had never before encountered steps.  The dog thrashed at the bottom, lunging in impotent fury, unable to deduce how to get upstairs.

       

“No!” I admonished when I could catch my breath.  “Bad dog!  No chase!”

       

She looked at me as if I was crazy.

       

“Oh, come on,” I said, relenting.  “Let’s eat.”

       

“I was just about to,” her expression said.  “Where did that cat go, anyway?”

       

Kitty had gone to the attic.  She stayed there for a long time and she must have had telepathy with Smudgie, the barn cat, because I didn’t see old Smudge for days.

Her food disappeared and so did she.

       

There followed a delightful afternoon and evening of snoozing on the couch with the dog tucked in the same position she had assumed with Sam, in this case flat on top of me with her nose between my neck and shoulder.  As long as her eyes were hidden, that tuck seemed to say, she couldn’t spot anyone coming to take her away from heaven.  A wave of protective warmth suffused my heart.  This dog must have been through hell.  Who knew what awful things had happened to her?  Well, her troubles were over.  I would see to that.

GUEST POST:

Describe Your Book Cover and How It Came About:

I think my book cover gives an unexpected insight into the writing of this book, because:  It’s Not a Romance!

Now if you know anything at all about my work and have picked yourself up off the floor, read on.  As a romance author, I am truly not a one-trick pony.  I have written early Medieval Romance…fantasy romance…science fiction romance…historical fantasy romance…and even a Bardic romance.  I have written poetry—lots of poetry.  The one thing I had never written was non-fiction.

While flirting with every form of romance, even going so far as to write one book in a pub in Ireland, I really thought THAT WAS IT.  Returning home, I continued my absolute infatuation with the subject, but then an odd thing happened.  Well, maybe not so odd—not at the outset, anyway.  I got a dog.

Dancer turned out not to be any dog.  That dog was need in a brindle coat.  She was an emotional vampire.  I was as hooked on that little pit bull mix as I had ever been on one of my imaginary heroes and she was real.  Oh, she was happy enough to lie at my feet while I banged out an epic.  In fact, she was thrilled, because it took a long time and I didn’t move.  From her standpoint, it was the best thing I ever did.

But every dog has to go out…sometime…and out I went, and then the fun began.  There were adventures with a whirlwind runaway dog, a fox-chasing dog, a horse-challenging dog, a dog that caused my neighbors to say I was crazy.  Because only a crazy person would have put up with her.  She ate my house.  She ate her crate.  I expected to see the red-striped legs and black shoes from The Wizard of Oz sticking out from under the foundation at any time, and the body underneath would have been mine.

I survived, barely.  And for nine insane but glorious years, that dog was my writing companion, and then she was gone but never forgotten.  I had to write her story…just literally had to…and I had to rescue dogs.  Rescue them I did, dog after dog, and finally the one I adopted was my second Dancer Dog.  Tia was so much like Dancer that it was uncanny, she even looked like her, and when my photos of Dancer proved too old and grainy to grace the cover of the book I wrote for her, Tia was my model.

That is why there is a brindle pit bull on the cover of my book Rescued, which is not about romance.  It is about love.  I hope you will enjoy it.

AUTHOR BIO:

Fantasy poetry driven by myths and legends has been my passion for as long as I can remember. I was published in poetry before catching the romance writing bug. I bring that background to my writing along with a lifelong addiction to horses, an 18 year career in various areas of psychiatric social services and many trips to Ireland, where I nurture my muse. My published works range from contemporary fantasy romance to fantasy historical, futuristic, science fiction and historical romance. Currently I live in rural Pennsylvania with a “motley crew” of rescue animals. You can see my books at www.miriamnewman.com.

Seven Days to Goodbye 
&
Starting Over

by Sheri S. Levy

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

GENRE: Young Adult – Coming of Age

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Thirteen year old, Trina has chosen to raise service dogs and have puppy after puppy. But during her seven day beach vacation, Trina struggles with having to return Sydney at the end of the week and worrying about her best friend changing into a stranger. To complicate the week, Sydney, meets a young boy with autism and the girls meet his two older brothers. Tension is raised over the guys, and Trina fears she’ll lose more than her service dog. Will Trina's lose her best friend, also?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EXCERPT TWO:

Uh, oh. The wind lifted the Frisbee into the air. It looked as if the disc had sprouted wings, and disappeared up and over the jetty. Sydney halted, staring at me. He was used to chasing his toy. His eyes asked for permission as his body quivered pent-up energy. Letting him struggle for a minute, I giggled and said, “Okay, Syd. Find Frisbee.”

I did a slow jog towards the rocks and seconds later, Sarah called, “Wait for me.” I did a slow jog towards the rocks and seconds later, Sarah called, “Wait for me.”

I turned around and stopped. “Wow, you're joining me! Come on. I’ve got to

find Syd’s Frisbee. It’s on the other side.”

We climbed over the jetty. The dogs used their four-legged drive and moved much faster than Sarah or me. When we reached the top of the mound, Sydney stood a distance away with his Frisbee at his feet, leaning close to a small boy. The boy continued to pat the sand in his bucket and turn it upside down, making a row of mounds.

My heart did a triple beat in quarter time. I started running. Sydney’s stub wiggled and jiggled as soon as the boy’s sandy hands rubbed his back.

“I’m sorry,” I said running ahead. I bent, face to face with the boy. “I hope he didn’t scare you.”

The boy never looked at me, only at Sydney and back to the sand. He said in a monotone voice, “Doggy, doggy.”

Sarah meandered up to us. I panted in fast spurts. Worried about the boy and Sydney, I never noticed the rest of the group. A little ways from the small boy, two guys around our age worked on a fort or it could have been a sand castle. The one who seemed to be the oldest, stood. He had long legs and was much taller than I expected. Using his hand, he shoved his longish brown bangs out of his eyes.

Oh, Sarah had definitely noticed. She smiled, pushed loose hair back into her braid and pulled her bathing suit in place.

I rolled my eyes. Okay. Here she goes.

GUEST POST:

Reasons You Should Read, “Seven Days to Goodbye”

          Mix together a week on Edisto Island with your best friend, connect with guys for the first time, meet a young boy with autism who falls in love with your service dog, learn about protecting loggerhead turtles, and you’ll have the ingredients for Seven Days to Goodbye.

          Years after my husband and I spent long weekends with our best friends and our dogs on Edisto Island, I turned my memories into a young adult novel. The fun began with creating unique relationships that transport the reader.

          I used my experience of teaching children with autism, my knowledge of training dogs, and my research with PAALS, a service dog organization.

         

Facts you need to know about autism:

          1. Autism affects one in sixty-eight children.

          2. Autism is not a disease. The brain happens to 
              function differently.

          3. Autism is an ability, not a handicap.

          My favorite quote from Dr. Temple Grandin, born with severe autism and a professor at the University of Denver. “Autism is part of who I am. It has given me special skills.”

          Dr. Temple Grandin helps families understand why children with autism flap their hands, spin in circles, make no eye contact, lack social interaction, use repetitive behaviors and can be verbal or non-verbal. She believes her life changed because of the people who believed in her and pushed her to interact in social environments. If you are interested in understanding more about autism, please watch or read, Seeing in Pictures, about Temple Grandin’s life.

          In August, 2017, I met a PAALS client, Jory Fleming, a sophomore at the University of South Carolina. After receiving his service dog four years ago, college students approached him with questions about his dog, Daisy. This forced him to speak to strangers and develop social skills. He began volunteering with extracurricular activities, and making friends. He was the first person with autism awarded the American Rhodes Scholar for 2017, and is off to Oxford to study with Daisy.

          “Seven Days to Goodbye,” shares the magic between Logan, a young boy with autism and Trina’s first trained service dog, Sydney. Guys play a major role in creating new types of relationships. There is humor, growing-up, and plenty of puppy love in both varieties. 

During teen years, emotional changes occur at different times. Meet Trina, a thirteen-year-old puppy raiser, who chose to train dogs and give them up to help others. She must decide after returning Sydney at the end of their week vacation if she wants to train a new puppy.

Her best friend since first grade, Sarah, lives down the street, plays soccer, and is interested in guys.

Trina and Sarah are at odds with each other while driving to Edisto. Trina talks about playing on the beach, swimming, and training Sydney. Sarah wants to cruise the beach for guys.

          During their first afternoon on the beach, Sydney meets Logan. Sydney responds to the boy’s flapping hands by standing in place as Logan pats his back. Trina speaks to Logan, but he makes no eye contact.

          Throughout the story, a magical connection happens with Logan and Sydney. Trina gets introduced to his older brothers, Peyton and Chase. Afraid she’ll lose her alone time with her Sarah, Trina doesn’t share that the boys want to meet them on the beach.

          Adult readers found themselves relating to the changing relationships from their own teen days. And young readers recognized the challenges Trina and Sarah face.

          One of my favorite parts in the story is about Loggerhead turtles. On Edisto Island, during the months of May through October, the rule is: No lights on porches. A turtle’s instinct is to lay its hundred eggs where it hatched. If the turtle sees any light, it will return to the ocean and loose its way to the beach. The Turtle Patrol polices the turtles’ nests every morning. If a new nest is found, they stake and rope off a square area around the nest, marking the date on one stake. As the sixtieth day approaches, the patrols inspect the nest for signs of a hatch. Sometimes they actually help unearth the babies before they suffocate. The word spreads around the island about the hatch, and residents stand guard as the baby turtles crawl to the ocean.

          From my readers, they shared their favorite parts: the girls meeting Peyton and Chase, beach walks with the dogs, the beautiful setting, the connection with Logan and Sydney, the Loggerhead turtles, and the fostering of relationships between old friends and new.

The series, Trina Ryan’s Dogs in Training, evolves and continues with the sequel, Starting Over, due July 18th. “Starting Over,” introduces a new character and horseback riding.

AUTHOR BIO:

Sheri, originally from California, moved to South Carolina with her husband, two children and a Siamese cat. Soon they adopted their first rescue dog who influenced their need to continue living with dogs. Sheri taught a multi-handicapped Special Ed class, and then a GED-parenting class, which included home visits. Because of her love of reading, Sheri found unusual ways to encourage children to read. After her rescue of a difficult dog, Sheri enrolled in dog classes to change his behavior. Her dream of writing, Seven Days to Goodbye, came from the culmination of her beach experiences, her understanding of behaviors, and from research with PAALS, a service dog organization.

Happy National Puppy Day!

Above pic: Baby Kiva looking so adorable!

Happy National Puppy Day!  Hope you are out celebrating with your four-legged best friend!  

Even if you don’t have a puppy you can still celebrate the day with a friend's dog or another furry friend of yours!

Happy National Dog Day!

Happy National Dog Day!  Whether you have a dog, a puppy, or just love dogs – today is the perfect day to show your love for them!  According to ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), approximately 70-80 million dogs are owned in the United States.  This further equates to approximately 37-47% of all households in the United States have a dog.

This holiday was founded in 2004 by Pet & Family Lifestyle Expert and Animal Advocate, Colleen Paige.  This day was developed to honor dogs and remember how many dogs still need to be rescued.  According to ASPCA, approximately 3.9 million dogs enter animal shelters nationwide every year.  Furthermore, of the dogs entering shelters, approximately 35% are adopted, 31% are euthanized and 26% of dogs who come in as strays are returned to their owner (ASPCA).

National Dog Day is against any kind of “breed ban.”  “Rather, we encourage those seeking new canine companions, to consider choosing adoption first and if you’d like a pure breed dog, look into a pure breed rescue to see if they have just the dog you’re looking for," (Paige).

“All a dog wants to do is love and protect you. That's all. Dogs are amazing, courageous, sensitive and sentient beings that deserve compassion and respect. Please consider bringing what was once considered ‘unwanted love’ into your heart and home on National Dog Day (Paige).”

Ways To Celebrate With Your Dog:

• Buy new toys, treats, bed, collar, or leash
• Explore a new place to walk
• Spend time at a park
• Take your dog to the beach
• Host a doggie date
• Give your dog a special treat
• Take pics of your dog
• Share pics of your dog via Social Media
• Take your dog to a pet day spa to be pampered
• Give your dog a belly rub or ear scratch or rub of their favorite spot
• Teach a new trick

Ways To Celebrate If You Don't Have A Dog:

• Donate blankets, food, toys, and leashes to your local animal shelter
• Donate money to your local animal shelter
• Volunteer at an animal shelter or organization
• Adopt a dog
• Assist a dog owner by walking their dog
• Share your favorite dog pics via Social Media
• Write to your congressman to ask that they support the ban of puppy mills in your state

 **Children can also partake in this event by drawing pictures of dogs.**
