Working on it
Yeah, my new blog, The Dog Doesn’t Die, is under construction. It may take me a few days to get it set up the way I want.
But let me at least explain the title. Last weekend, I finished reading a book in which there were several animals. Some people, myself among them, worry about the fate of animal characters — are they safe? are they going to live? And it occurred to me that since I would of course include the occasional book review in my blog, I’d write about whether the book was “safe” for animal lovers.
I also plan to include observations from my work as a writer and editor, as well as recipes, links, and random thoughts.

About
This is a picture of Priscilla, who lived to be an old lady cat of 19 1/2 and passed away on July 21, 2008. As Dave put it the next day, she was a great cat. I was privileged to adopt her in 1994, when her first family moved overseas and decided they couldn’t take her along. I don’t know if there’s an afterlife or a real “Rainbow Bridge” or any of that. But love lives on, and so I would like to dedicate this site to Priscilla and my first two cats, Hillary and Rabbit.
Like most blogs, this one includes random thoughts and observations, but its primary purpose is to provide book reviews for animal lovers. Please feel free to add comments or make suggestions of books that are animal-friendly.

The dog didn’t bark . . . that was the curious thing!
My mom likes books where the animals don’t die, so she said she would be back here to see what books you’ve read! (Rusty’s mom: Good luck with your blog. Rusty and I just started last month and I still can’t do everything I want to. But I’m an old dog learning new tricks.)
