I just had a traier done for my latest book, A Mothers Torment and hope it helps in the sales. If it does, I'll have one done for the other books I have.....I think it came out pretty good and they did a good job with it. It's on this site and also on www.amotherstorment.com Let me know what you think of it if you get to see it. Shirley

Too many dogs= too little attention. Hate to have the feed bill for over a hundred pooches.

I have two dogs and you have four dogs and I know how much care they need each day. How about a story I heard on radio and you may have heard it too about a lady in Arizona, I believe. A lady lives in a triple wide trailer and she has about 800 dogs...I think I heard that they were mostly small dogs and that she took pretty good care of them. My two keep me on the run during the day and I can't imagine having that many dogs.
We had an instance close by where a couple was trying to take care of 100 dogs and it didn't turn out well. There were many very malnurished and sick.
Just thought I would give you some news from the mainland.

Take care and that is all,

Kenny

Charles Dickens got a boost from his novels serialization in London papers. Bay City Times is giving "Improved Lies" a similar lift. The paper is running an excerpt each Saturday with podcast read by yours truly. Try a free taste http://blog.mlive.com/baycitytimes_extra/featured_stories/
