Notes from a Small Dog, Four Legs on Two.
ISBN 9781910478271

This is my fourth Ani book by Sue Vincent, and definitely my favourite.
A combination of verse and prose, it captures a dog’s eye view of food, cheese, balls, snow, ownership and emotions, with the occasional entry from Sue herself.
This has 142 pages, 146 including the end credits and details of other publications.
The photographs match the chapters, especially Indignant Small Dog where the chosen picture is priceless above the first sentence
‘She hid the ball!’

I laughed out loud at that and kept that smile on my face until turning the light off.

We frolic with Ani in the snow, cheekily pilfer morsels from plates, plead with big brown eyes, and generally get our own way, even when we’ve been in the dog house.
We share long buried bones, commiserate when she’s forced to have a bath…

How Deep is it? ~ Tessa Dean #writephoto

Ron had been told by some of his friends who hiked a lot that there was a nice area up on Walden Manor property. The path approached a large stone embankment that suddenly dropped off right in front of you. No one seemed to know if it was the cement remnants of an old bridge or not. However suddenly the cement dropped off and overlooked a body of water that was deep and dark. It was said to be bottomless there, but in reality there had to be a bottom of some sort although it could be much deeper than anyone could imagine.

Magic and The Placebo Effect ~ G. Michael Vasey

Reblogged from The Magical World of G. Michael Vasey:

The world is a funny place. Talk about Magic and people will look at you as if you are certifiable. Change the word ‘Magic’ for ‘Placebo effect’ and scientists and psychologists will readily acknowledge that the mind has the power to heal our body simply via the act of imagination. Which is, after all – magic. I think the Placebo Effect is the best proof of magic there is and scientists think they discovered it relatively recently (I am a scientist as well by the way. By scientists in this instance, I mean materialist-reductionist types).

According to science, the placebo effect was discovered during medicine trials when the control group is given a sugar pill or similar but not the drug being tested for comparison purposes. However, those being given the inert material thought they were being given the drug and so they often experienced alleviation of their symptoms, healing or even side effects. In the years since, a number of medical conditions have been reported as benefitting from placebos, including acne, Crohn’s disease, epilepsy, ED, ulcers, multiple sclerosis, osteoarthritis, rheumatism, and colitis. Now get this! The original explanation was that patients were only imagining they felt well!

Doggerel : A book review

Another lovely review for Ani’s book…

Doggerel by Sue Vincent ISBN 9781910478226
I spent a very cosy evening curled up in bed with Ani last night.
This is another collection of poems and the photographs had me wanting to reach out and scratch those fluffy ears, tickle that lovely tummy, and cuddle away the sadness in those woeful eyes. Oh the expressions that matched the verses so perfectly!

I can well understand Ani not liking a bath, preferring to be dog smelling than that of flowers, the obsession with a particular ball that gets lost never to be found, and a replacement that simply will not do, until a certain person comes to play.
How I can identify with a poorly furbaby, one who somehow cottons on that treats will be more forthcoming if they don’t get well in too much of a hurry.
The war on moulting, a four legs helping with the housework as…

Survival ~ J.E.Goldie #writephoto

The two men in the group were JAMIE who had given up hope completely, and CAL had died of his wounds. They covered his body with what rocks and any brush, they could find.
Their minds were losing focus. They were eating whatever the sea would throw them, dead fish, seaweed, birds, crustaceans.

Barb Taub hits number one!

barbtaub's avatarBarb Taub

I’m an indie author. So after paying for laptop, software, printer, toner, and ALL the coffee, just buying something off the dollar menu at Chez Macs will seriously eat into the profits from my new book.

Paying for someone to make a book trailer for my new release is a lovely dream, like winning the lottery, getting taller, or having the pandemic end so I can get my hair done and my eyebrows mowed. But thanks to the miracle of free software templates, iPhones with nice cameras, and the entire population of India joining the cast, I have a sparkly new trailer for Please Don’t Ask For Extra Glasses.

And I’ve got something to celebrate! Amazon is showing Please Don’t Ask for Extra Glasses as the #1 New Release in General India Travel Guides. (No, I don’t want to think about how many other new travel guides were published in…

The Bystander Effect ~ Cai #writephoto

Reality is stranger than fiction. This is an anecdote on The Bystander Effect in 2020 – 2021.

It has been three months since a swindler targeted a victim. His pride and ego refused to concede defeat even after police were notified. His scams evolved deeper into crime as he plotted murder in broad daylight. He tried to recruit mercenaries and accomplices to kill for money.

Deeper ~ Dr. Crystal Grimes #writephoto

I’ve gone over the edge more than once. But who among us hasn’t? We all come to a bridge, a cliff, a drop, a precipice sometime–or many times–in our lives. It will happen, guaranteed.

You will reach a point, and another point, where it’s either stay or go, sink or swim, leap into the unknown or stay in your current situation. Stay, that is, until it becomes impossibly intolerable. And there you are again, faced with the same choice.

Deeper ~ Joelle LeGendre #writephoto

“We believe…”

Begin a sentence with those two words and my mind drifts away.

“…that there is only one true…”

Deeper, deeper, my thoughts travel to a place without ears, eyes…

“…are you listening?!”
