2013 New Mexico-Arizona Book Awards! Pets/Animals Category
Just last night….our book was named the WINNER of the Pets/Animal Category! We’re just so doggone proud! So great to ‘pawtner’ with Terrie Q. and.....
....... and our great publishers, Rio Grande Books. Had to show my dogpreciation of course! What better way than one of my famous slurpy kisses! There you go Paul!
"This compilation features treasured pets. They may be guardians of notoriety like Governor Susana Martinez, Mayor Richard Berry, Anne Hillerman, Rudolpho Anaya, Slim Randles,, the New Mexico State Police Dept, Mrk Ronchetti…and many more adorable photos of cute pets."
Of course yours truly is included. Not only do I grace the cover with my bestest Radio Buddy, Terrie Q…but I also have a Foreword included and other very ‘pawsonal’ photos of me….all scattered throughout this great and entertaining book!
Best part of the book in my dog-pinion? Sales of this book support two very worthy pet groups, Save Lucky Paws and Kennel Kompadres. Now THAT is a double-pawed deal if ya ask this pup!
PET FRIENDS gets the Travelin’ Jack 5 PAWS rating!
Author: (my very own) Jill D. Lane
This delightful anthology of short stories and articles about our ‘pawsonal’ life at the Elkhorn Lodge in Chama New Mexico is a fun re-telling of true tails…’er tales!. Some are doggone funny, some are “AWWWWW sweet” and there is even a Chapter dedicated to PET GUESTS. Of course, I have to dogmit here…one of them is my story about Oscar the Lodge cat. And there is another story about me too…being lent out to a visiting guest! Doggone good reads if I do bark so myself! Oh..and pup-script, the names of the guests have been changed to protect the INNOCENT…and the GUILTY (Ha!)…but our names are real!
Again, a portion of the sales proceeds from this book supports Animal Welfare. Do you see a theme here? You can bet your bones this is a very PUPular trend in my way of thinkin’….and book reviewin’!
NEXT GRRRRReat BOOK!
Our Most Treasured TAILS Sixty Years of Pet Rescue
$20.00
www.ourmosttreasuredtails.com
Author: Kate J. Kuligowski
I recently met up with author….animal savior Kate Kuligowski. She was at our Balloon Museum event Furry Friends Fiesta Day, where Miss Kate introduced me to her newly released book. This is a moving memoir of her family’s life-long pursuit of animal rescue. It is a DOG-FABULOUS read about all their trials and tribulations of pet rescue. I barked out loud at some of the funny stories, I pondered some of the moving stories, I shed a few dog-tears at the sad tales…but I learned a lot about how everyone can get involved in helping save pets in need. “This book is not just a collection of heartwarming stories as this family also seeks to seriously involve the reader, asking their help in pursuing stronger animal humane legislation. ….For the sake of your pet, of all pets, become involved.”
A must read-must have-must buy-must share Book….in my humble dog-pinion! Kate, Wally and Kurt…you done DOGGONE grrrreat! AND….this book supports FOUR very worthy New Mexico Animal Welfare groups too!
And...last but not least...for pup-sure! Here's MY Book!
