Okay, first things first…I picked up a book called “Orson-A Good Dog” about a month ago in the local bookstore. After loving “Marley and Me” I’ve discovered quite a passion for reading about animals. “Orson” is a non-fiction book that is truly wonderful. After finishing the story, I looked up the writer’s website and was equally impressed. I decided, which is rare for me, to contact the writer and let him know how much I enjoyed his book. Not expecting anything in return really, but glad I sent along a message to let him know that I enjoyed the book and appreciated the candor with which this story is told. The next morning to my surprise the writer, Mr. Jon Katz, responded! I’ve asked him several questions since and he has always politely responded the same day or next. My appreciation and respect of this man has tripled. I don’t know of any other writer who’s written a NY Times Bestseller, “Dog Days”, who would take time for a stay at home Mommy from a small town in North Alabama. Thank you Mr. Katz!
In other news, the Cullman Animal Shelter Adopt a Thon is taking place on May 3rd at Heritage Park. I will be assisting with the adoptions most of the day and I am really looking forward to this. Travis will enjoy having a day with Anya as well and they will visit the park I’m sure as Anya is such the lover of animals. Still don’t know where she gets that from! She had quite the morning at the shelter with a very sweet cat named Taz! A very socialble orange and white tabby that has been at the shelter for about a month now.
Let me know if anyone is interested in learning more about the Adopt a Thon or the animals we have for adoption!
Finally, here’s a quick photo of Anya and I from earlier this week.
