As an author myself, I try to read other indie authors. Now, it does take time away from my own writing, so I limit myself to one book per month. Because of my limit, I'm extremely choosy about WHAT I read.
I enjoy sci-fi, fantasy, horror, crime drama, a good who-done-it mystery, (partly because I can NEVER guess who-done-it), and romance/erotica. Let me tell you I've been very lucky to pick ones that have kept me interested. All those indie authors should be proud of their work. I know I am.
Pet info. I had a dog come in to the store today who was scared out of her wits. She's been coming to the store for 4 years. Only recently has her owner decided to use out self service dog bath once a week. Well, this dog doesn't want anything to do with our store anymore. When making your pet do something it has hesitations about, it's a good idea to make the chore a pleasant one. Do whatever it takes. Now this dog is scared of baths. Poor baby.
Pet info. Don't believe everything someone tries to sell you will work.
I'm sorry, but when I saw this, I cracked up! You want to stop a dog from chewing on things he shouldn't, give him something he can chew.
uh... Cats too.
I'm working on 2 manuscripts at once. It'll probably kill me, and I haven't gotten much sleep, but don't worry. Great stories will emerge. This is how I look at work.
Pet info. Getting a small kiddie pool for your dogs in the summer can be the best fun. Fill it just a few inches and watch them play when they're hot. Toss floating toy is and have them fetch.
See? Ya just need to find that right someone. Even if they're a silly goose!

Pet info. Did you know that one of Michael Vick's former fighting dogs, Leo, went on to become a therapy dog?
I'm not good with living things, but some of these trees are just beautiful. It's a good thing I don't have to take care of them! (or they'd be dead).

This is my favorite.
Pet info. Dogs love routine. Have you ever noticed if you do something every day and then do something else WITH them, lika a walk, or give them a treat, they know it's going to happen right AFTER you finish what you're doing. For me it's the sound my laptop makes when I shut it down. As soon as my male hears the ding, he knows we're going outside to pick up poop. His favorite time in the morning, aside from the walk.
While Mondays are usually my day off, I had to go in. Tomorrow morning I'm slated to open too. It'll be an extra 10 hours this week which is always good, but no day off. Hum... I'll deal.
Pet info. Pets that are shy need to get out into the world. What you need to remember is not every animal can be approached. It's always a good idea to let the dog or cat come to you on its own.
It's all good!

Some, are ingenious... Others, well. No thank you!
Pet info. Dogs don't enjoy being hugged as much as humans. Canines interpret putting a limb over another animal a sign of dominance. Try it sometime and pay attention. I bet your dog will put his or her paw on you. It's not a sign of endearment.
