Meet my new dog, Frankie. He’s very cute, isn’t he? I haven’t been without a dog of my own since I was about eight years old. So, when Oscar died of bone cancer in October, I sort of felt lost. What I had done in previous years was to always find a new dog to add to the family before …
I told you all last summer that my dog, Oscar, had been diagnosed with bone cancer. The vet said it was an aggressive cancer and Oscar maybe had two months. It turned out he had about twice that much time, but not nearly as much time as I wished for him and for me. He passed over the Rainbow Bridge …
“We can learn so much by observing the way our pets rejoice in life’s simplest moments. For a dog, every morning is Christmas morning. Every walk is the best walk; every meal is the best meal. Take time every day to celebrate the many gifts that are hidden in the ordinary events of your life.” – Cesar Millan, The Dog …
“There is no psychiatrist to be found anywhere in the world like a puppy licking your face.” (Ben Williams) Are you a dog person? If you’ve visited me here on my blog or if you join the conversation on my Facebook author page, then you know that I definitely like dogs. And this weekend we had a houseful of the …

As one of my characters said in my last Shaker book, The Innocent, those people warred against dirt. They had a place for everything and expected …
I’m going to be a guest on a blog, Quid Pro Quills this Wednesday for their regular feature Animals and Authors. Oscar is the star in that post. So since I’ve been meaning to do a post about my dog, Oscar, here on One Writer’s Journal forever, I decided now was a good time. This post will be different from …
Hidden Springs mystery 2 isn’t ready for readers yet. It’s still going through edits and won’t be released until July 2016. That sounds like a while yet, doesn’t it? We still have Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Easter, Memorial Day, and plenty of other days to fill the time before you’ll have a chance to read my …
There are always flowers for those who want to see them. (Henri Matisse) I usually take a walk every day if at all possible. My dog, Oscar, would be disappointed if we didn’t, although on some of the hotter days in summer, he sometimes looks at me as if he thinks I might have lost my mind wanting to walk …
Dogs have a way of finding the people who need them, filling an emptiness we don’t even know we have. ~Thorn Jones Some of you have been asking about how my dog, Oscar, is doing. About a month ago, one of the men working on a room remodel here at the house ran over Oscar. He was parked beside the …
