R.I.P. Mouchke
On Sunday evening my grandparents' guinea pig, Mouchke, passed away. She was almost eight years old and healthy until the very last couple of hours. However small, she leaves a profound emptiness for those who loved her. You will be missed, Mouchke.

Dog-ma: The Zen Of Slobber {book giveaway}
About Dog-ma: The Zen Of Slobber
Barbara grew up in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania with her parents, sister and always a dog, or two or three. When Barbara meets her future husband, Ray, it is love-and-dog at first sight. Over the course of thirty-two years, seventies relocations and nine dogs, their mutual love of dogs guides them on their unconventional path. The love that Barbara and Ray get in return is literally lifesaving, with one dog attacking a lethal intruder and another discovering Barbara's cancer. Her own survival story underscores the story of how her dogs become survivors themselves.
Each new dog adds a new dynamic to the family, sometimes upending it. From Turbo (whose Spock-like ears may have provided super powers), Barbara learns about the will to live; Lexington demonstrates incredible patience and an inexplicable love of golf; Madison teaches that laughter is truly the best medicine and that the whole "nine lives thing" is not reserved just for cats; Morgan should be sainted for tolerating Izzy, who is as cute as she is bad.
Dog-ma: The Zen Of Slobber will inspire you with the couple's unstinting love, devotion, and respect for dogs as family members. You'll be glad to include it in your treasured collection of great dog books.

Better Than Catnip {book giveaway}
Author Ruth J. Hartman is giving away two e-copies of Better Than Catnip, a sweet romance novel that throws together a cat-loving woman with a gorgeous man and his son, who is terrified of cats. About Better Than Catnip
Roxy Williams adores cats. Always have. That's why she devotes her life to running a stray cat shelter. But is that enough? Isn't there a man out there who will love her for who she is? A special man who won't try to change her or ask her to choose between him and her cats?
Max Weller has a problem. His son, Derek, must complete community service for fighting at school. The only available place is the stray cat shelter. But Derek is terrified of cats from a frightening childhood experience. How will they get through this traumatic experience?
Roxy and Max feel the strong attraction pulling them together as Max volunteers at the shelter, too. Will they be able to keep the spark alive? Or will Derek's fears come between them?
