We all love our pets no matter what they are – dogs, cats, gerbils, fish, reptiles, etc. They are special in their own way and make our lives better.
I’ve had three dogs, a cat, fish, after I was married and when I was younger parakeets and rabbits. Each time I lost a pet, it was traumatic. We bond with them and they leave an empty space in our hearts. They did make it a lot better while they were with us though and leave us with wonderful memories.
Besides my two crustacean books that I recently posted about, I also wrote about my dog and my daughter’s cat. I plan to write about my son’s dog in a new MG/PT series that will be coming out in 2027. I won’t share anything more about this series until after I finish my present YA series.
Getting back to my pets, here are the books that I created for your children’s enjoyment. The first one is about my dog, a mix of toy terrier and chihuahua. She was special in every way and kept me sane during a troubled time in my life. I miss her to this day. Here is Lucy the Talented Toy Terrier.
MOM’S CHOICE AWARD – SILVER MEDAL WINNER!
This book is based on my dog, Lucy, who I had for 16 years. She was quite a character and did all the things that are in this book. She loved my spaghetti with homemade sauce, watched TV shows featuring animals, hated baths, “sang” when music was played, and had two cherished possessions, a knotted rag and a ball. I hope you will enjoy reading about Lucy. She is no longer with us and can never be replaced.
I hope you will introduce your children to Lucy and let them experience what it is like to have such a wonderful pet. Having a pet teaches children how to take care of something other than themselves and forces them to take responsibility for its feeding and care. My husband, John Spina, created the cover and the illustrations.
The other book about my daughter’s cat is Colby the Courageous Cat. Colby’s story is not at all true. He was courageous though and loved to be outside. He only came home to get a snack and some love. He loved to chase squirrels and other little animals and climb trees and even the side of our house by the chimney. I witnessed him do this when he was chasing a squirrel up the side of the chimney. I wish I could have tapped it. It was unbelievable!
PINNACLE BOOK ACHIEVEMENT AWARD WINNER!
Colby is one of a litter of four kittens. The kittens get into all kinds of trouble. Being the biggest and strongest, Colby’s mother expects him to watch over the smaller kittens and keep them safe. Read and find out what Colby does to meet his mother’s expectations.
Both of these pets made a difference in my family’s lives. Colby and Lucy were loved and cherished for the time we were blessed with them. I hope you have felt the joy of having a pet as I have.
Here are what readers are saying about these two books on Amazon.
