GPS Trackers for Dogs

What will they come up with next? I guess these have been out for a few years, I just never came across them until now. We could have used one of these on our older Pup, Julie, a few years ago. That was when she decided to take a stroll down the road without anyone’s escort. We became worried when we had trouble finding her.

After one last search, we found her at the end of the road, on the back side of the snow embankment. She is old and has trouble climbing. I guess she must have gotten on that side of the road where there hadn’t been any snow blocking her path. When she tried to return, she discovered she was trapped. I can imagine how scared she must have gotten.

Julie had appeared to have given up. She lay on her side in the snow, looking dead. I shouted her name as soon as I saw her and didn’t get any response at first. Then when she realized it was us coming to her rescue, she began to move. She struggled in the snow, but couldn’t climb the snow bank. We had to push and pull her over it. She is a 100-pound dog, about the size of a golden retriever, just all black.

Had her fur been white, I bet we’d never have seen her.

I think, sometime in the future, I may be investing in one of these tracking devices for my dogs.

This is How Romance Happens

by Linda Nelson, posted in Blogging, quotes

In 2013, I released my first sweet contemporary romance, Along Came Neil. I never had given thought to write a romance story before this book came about. I had published it just in time for Christmas.  This book not only was my first romance, but it also brought my first happy ending.

I know, everyone loves happy endings. I do too. It’s a shame that life isn’t full of more happy endings. I’ve seen my share of horrible times like everyone else. Sometimes we forget that happy endings do exist, we just need to know what makes us happy before we find it.

After I wrote this book and fell in love with happy endings, I vowed to write all my books with happy endings. I also now write stand-alone series. So if you haven’t read the first book in this series, don’t worry about that. The story picks up where those other two books left off, but I don’t think you will be utterly lost without them.
