I am owned by four rescues, 3 pups and 1 kitty. I'm the co-editor, along with my husband, on the 'For The Love Of Dog' blog on Dogster.com.
In 2006 my dog Bo wrote me a book for x-mas. It was so cute cute I found him a literary agent and in July 2008 he put paw to paper and signed a contract with Kensington Books. Now his book BAD TO THE BONE is about to be nationally published, out in bookstores the end of September. You can read a preview chap if you want on his site www.boknowsonline.com.

Tell us about your pets
Bo-our writing/blogging chow/retriever. Got him from a shelter.
Copper- his Rhodesian mix sis who we got from a rescue group.
Logan- a Bernese Mtn. dog who was the stud dog at a puppy mill for four years until he was rescued. Adopted him a year ago- he was terribly abused but has made wonderful progress over the last year.
Moose- Our somewhat constipated kitty who we got from the same shelter as Bo.
How did you find us?

Hi Lisa,
Thanks so much for a copy of your book, it came today. I'm looking forward to reading it. I love the idea and wish all our authors huge successes.

That actually kind of touches on the reason I have a copy...but we can get into that later :-). If you read this story (just published), check out the first item on the list of tips...that item right there was Bo-inspired (though I did run it by a vet who absolutely loved the idea). If you want, feel free to contact me at jake@spotmagazin.net.
Congratulations on getting published. I had to self-publish my book. But it was worth it. My publishing co is called "For the Love of Dog Books". I saw that you have a blog with that name. Dog lovers think a like.
It's a true pleasure to have you on pdxdog.com. I hope we get to know you better. Thanks for the blog. I am fascinated at how many comments the article is getting on dogster and pawnation has almost 100. It has definitely touched a nerve with people.
Have a great weekend.
