Why
Spot? Why Not?
Anyone who knows
me personally understands why. All of my kids have four legs and
fur. (Except for the birds, fish and ducks.)
I'm a realist:
I can't make a living working dogs*, but I can make a living writing.
See Spot Write is
the self-delusional way that I combine both. :-)
"Spot"
is a morph of Grace
and Nunzi, two
of my dogs.
My volunteer
hours are spent in animal therapy work and K9 search and rescue
with the Indiana Task Force 1 (FEMA).
*although
my company, Geese Wranglers
LLC, is a great spring-fall gig....
