Thirteen Ways Puppies and Kids are Alike

1- Just like babies, they behave better on a schedule.

2 - They whine for attention.

3- They both cost a fortune!

4- Potty training vs House training. Both are no fun at all.

5- They are both a constant source of entertainment.

6- They sleep when you want them awake, and are awake when you want them to sleep.

7-They both only have to give you ‘that look’ and you melt.

8-They speak a language all of their own. Both equally as difficult to decipher (Especially Teen-agers lol)

9-Both will push you to the limit and do something funny just when you think you can’t take any more.

10-They both follow you around like a shadow.

11-Take a baby or a puppy for a walk and you can pretty much bet at least one person will say, ‘awww!’

12-It’s always play time when you are in the middle of something.

13-Nothing in the house is safe when either are teething!

I thought it might be interesting to share my characters with you. These are the main character in my next book, tentatively titled Spirit Island. I will be writing this for my NaNoWriMo this year. I've participated in the last three and crossed the finish line.

The Hero - Ojibwa Native - Tokoda

The Heroine - Ojibwa Native - Nara

Nara's Father - Enape - Birch bark Canoe Builder

Nara's Mother - Ojibwa Medicine Woman

Magaskawee (Maga for short)

Chief Uzamati

Bad Guy - Ojibwa Native from another tribe - Kosumi

I'll be posting updates now and then throughout the

month of November, so be sure to check back. You might

just get a sneak peek or two.

Happy Turkey Day!

For me, Thanksgiving signifies the beginning of Fall, my favorite time of year. I love the colors and the crispness of the air.

We'll be having our turkey tomorrow. My parents are no longer with us, so us three girls will be spending the day with my best friend of over 30 years, her daughter, and granddaughter.

Although we are not related by blood, we are still family where it counts the most, the heart.

So, from my family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. May you spend the day with all you hold near and dear to your heart. This year I am thankful for so many things, including all of you, my readers, my friends.

Thank you for your continued support and go have yourself some turkey.

Thirteen Dreams I Hope Come True!

Our new addition....6 week old little girl, Charlie.

Why Charlie you ask? Well, my Mom passed away at Christmas time. We've been talking about getting a puppy for some time. When my Dad was alive, he always called my mother 'Charlie'. So, we decided, boy or girl , it would be its' name.

We spotted her on Kijiji earlier this evening. She was the last one of the litter . Her mother is Jack Russel, and the dad is anybodies guess. Guess who got out the gate one day and came home knocked up? lol Anyhow, we fell in love the second we saw her picture. I phoned the lady and said, if you can deliver her I'll have the cash waiting when you get here.

Half an hour later we were making her a bed. She's even more adorable in person, and a welcome addition to our 'No Boys Allowed' household. I just had to share her with you all.
