Highs and Lows
All of life is made up of highs and lows. For the first time in almost 15 months I have a new book in the stores. What a high. Then last week I learned that my beloved dog has lymphoma and only a few months to live. What a low blow.
Yes, I know it could have been worse. It could have been my daughter or one of my grandchildren, but my Sadie Sue is like family. She was my husband's dog. A pound puppy part yellow lab and maybe pointer. She is a fetching fool for a ball or a Frisbee. I'm going to miss her but she gave me years of laughter and comfort.
I had already started work on a new Amish Bachelors book when I got this news. Oddly, I had decided to make a dog one of my secondary characters. Lancelot the basset hound. You can be sure he will possess some of Sadie Sue's best and funniest qualities and her pussy willow soft ears.
If you have a favorite pet - in real life or in a book - I'd love to hear about them.
