Prey Drive in Action
Love this pic of a German shepherd puppy diving into a pool for a ball!
Remembering 9-11
On the tenth anniversary of this tragic day, we all have our memories, our stories. None of us will ever forget exactly where we were or what we were doing when the unimaginable became real, and our world changed forever.
Today we remember. We mourn. We pay tribute to the fallen, and to those who displayed such tremendous courage in the rescue efforts that followed the collapse of the Twin Towers.
Nor should we forget the often unsung heroes, the hundreds of canine seach-and-rescue teams who came from all over the country, risking their lives, working beyond exhaustion, until all hope of recovering victims was gone.
We remember. And we thank you.
Jungle Red Talks to Susan Conant
Susan Conant–It’s a Dog’s Life
DEBORAH CROMBIE: I did a happy dance a few months back when I saw that Susan Conant had a new mystery featuring Cambridge, Massachusetts dog owner, dog trainer, and dog columnist Holly Winter and her beautiful malamutes, Rowdy, Kimi, and Sammy. It’s called BRUTE STRENGTH, and first off I have to say it’s has the most GORGEOUS cover! If I saw this book on the shelf and had never heard of Susan Conant or Holly Winter, I’d buy it in a second just so I could sit and look at it.
But I’ve been a fan of Susan’s books since the very first entry in the series, A NEW LEASH ON DEATH, and happily, many of the earlier books are now available on Kindle.
In BRUTE STRENGTH, when Dog’s Life columnist Holly Winter rejects applicants who want to adopt homeless dogs, she makes a lot of enemies. In dogs Holly trusts, and the dogs she trusts most are her beloved malamutes, Rowdy, Kimi and Sammy. But right now she could use a human friend. Lately, it seems wherever she turns, things go wrong: an anonymous call turns vicious, her husband is keeping secrets, and acquaintances die under mysterious circumstances. Then Holly’s own life is threatened. Can the brute strength of Rowdy, Kimi, and Sammy protect her? (continued)
