Long Time DOG BIBLE Fan
Hello Tracie!!!!
I happened across your book for dogs at the library a couple years ago. I liked it so well, I went out and bought it! At the time, I had adopted a dog from a shelter. Learned through living with him, he'd been abused. But now, he's thriving and loving life with me. Just over the past weekend I got my second "child"... a girl this time, and I'm using your book... again... in training my new puppy. I can't say enough wonderful things about your Dog Bible. I think it's absolutely a God-send for all dogs!!! It puts everything in perspective from their point of view. MANY times while reading it, I have an "ah-HA!" moment, and think to myself... "now that makes total sense"!!! Thank you again for writing such a wonderful book!
So I was messing around on the internet today at work... lol... and found your site. And even though my Dog Bible is used, "dog-eared" and highlighted, I would be honored if you would send me a personalized bookplate for my book!!! My name is Kim... duh, it's in the email address... and my 'children' are Louie and Paisley!!! Thanks again for a great book!!!

Dear Kim
An autographed bookplate is coming your way, with my thanks for your enthusiasm and desire to have your book personalized even after it’s got some age on it!!
A writer never knows who is reading her book – or how it affects them – anymore than I know what most listeners to my radio shows are thinking (although if they’re listening, I guess that proves something!) But hearing from a dog lover like you about how much insight and support the book has given you makes me really, really happy.
Thanks for that!
