Where's my mom been?

Well everpawdy.... Can you believe it... Mine mom went on a trip..... Without me!!  Shocking, I know.  And...... She took her iPad with her, so I couldn't get on my Facebook page....and I couldn't even get on my blog.... Not that I know what I'm doing on my blog... It's brand new... And I'm still trying to figure it all out... So, please be patient with me as I learn how to blog....and try to teach the mom a thing or two about it too....

Now.... About where the mom went... With her iPad.... Grrrrr...... Mom went to San Antonio to the RWA conference...(that's Romance Writers of America).  No... Mine mom is not a romance writer... She spends her time with me... And reading the books... And sometimes she reads them to me and tells me about them... It's pretty Pawsome...
Anypaw..... Mom went to the conference so she could go to the one night when they set up for the fans to come it and get autographs of their favorite authors.... There were lots of them there that mom loves.... But her most favorite is a lady she knows... Catherine Mann.... She writes really Pawsome Military Romance... And ya know what??  She sometimes put dogs in her books.... Yep.... Can you believe it...
She works with a rescue by her house in real life...and she fosters dogs all the time... And she's not afraid to take in the sick fosters and help to make them all better.... She is just a super Pawsome lady.... And her husband is retired Air Force.... Now that is something special indeed... I just love military peoples.... Well... Mine dad is Retired Navy... So I should...BOL.... Our military is the best!

So.... Mom spent time with Miss Cathy while in San Antonio... She met some other authors too.... But more on them later....
Mom told me that Miss Cathy has a new book coming out on August 5, 2014....
And it's called Shelter Me.... And mom was so very lucky to have been given an advanced copy of that book.... And she read it to me... And me and mom both love this book.....
And you know what??? It has a dog in it.... A dog ....who started his life in Iraq... And who was rescued and brought back to the states... And.... You are not gonna believe this..... But this dog... He has a mission.... Yep.... And he talks about it in that book.... He is a very smart dog.... Mine mom said she has never read such a great book that has the dogs point of view in it too....
His name is Trooper.... And did I tell you he is smart.... He is mine new favorite dog... I think I have a crush on him...BOL

Let me tell you a little about that book.... Trooper was saved by Col. Allen McDaniel .... Trooper learned to love and trust the Commander.... Then the Commander is killed.... And Sgt Mike Kowalski has taken the task of bringing Trooper home to the states... To the Commanders family... Where the Commanders wife runs Second Chance Ranch Animal Rescue...
And you know what... That may be Sgt Mike's mission.... But boy does Trooper  have a mission too... You are not gonna believe what Trooper has to do to make his mission complete....
Mine mom said she loved the story... The twist and turns... The ups and downs.... The struggles and the love..... But ya know what I loved the most.....Trooper.... He is one smart dog.... And I just love him.... And I just bet, if you read this book... You will love him too!!
Mommy says this book made her laugh and cry... (It did... I saw the tears myself) .... And I have to admit... There was a moment there with Trooper that I had tears in my little pup eyes too...
People have people hero's.... But me..... I'm a dog.... So today.... My hero is Trooper....

But...... Peoples...... There is one more very very important thing I have to tell you about this book....
There is a character in the book.... She works at the veterinarians office.... And..... Are you ready for this.... Her name is Maisie..... Yep....Maisie........ Miss Cathy named her after me....little ole me..... I am so honored....and it was so exciting when mom read me the parts where I'm in it.... I'm doing a happy dance and a doggie Squeeeeeee...... Excitement!!

The book comes out August 5th.... Did I tell ya that once already...lol..... You should go buy it.... Read it.... Then come back here and tell me what you think about it...and what you think about Trooper....
And even Maisie.... (I just love it!!)

Do you know a dog like Trooper?  I bet you do....
Get the book... "Shelter Me" .... By Catherine Mann..... And read it to your dog too... And let me know what you think...
