by | Feb 22, 2023 | Books, Cat Behavior & Care, Contest, Dog Training & Care | 0 comments

Today, I have a fun surprise to share with you… Most times I send these notices out to my newsletter, but this offer (sorta-kinda different for me!) begs sharing widely. I’ve teamed up with 50+ fantastic authors to give away a huge collection of Inspirational Fiction & Non-Fiction books to 2 lucky winners!

INSPIRATIONAL BOOK GIVEAWAY (Ins-PURR-ational?)

Oh, and did I mention the Grand Prize winner gets a BRAND NEW eReader? 😁

In my world, books come with a large dose of furry inspiration. So, the book I’ve included focuses on family relationships of the furry kind. Others in the bundle include spiritual growth, emotional health and well-being, or even some uplifting fiction stories.

You can win my nonfiction book DOES MY CAT HATE ME, plus books from authors like CHRIS MORRIS and SKIP JOHNSON.

Enter the giveaway by clicking here 👉 https://www.booksweeps.com/giveaway/february23-win-a-bundle-of-inspirational-fiction-non-fiction/

THE INSPIRATIONAL BOOK CONTEST ENDS MARCH 1st so enter soon. Good luck and enjoy!

NAME THAT DOG & NAME THAT CAT CONTEST (Coming Soon!)

Those who read my pet-centric thrillers know that with each book, I hold a contest to NAME a hero cat and dog as characters in the story. My latest book DARE OR DIE, the 7th in the series, answers a lot of vexing questions about the main character. She carries the story, along with her PTSD service dog, Shadow, and trained Maine Coon cat Macy.

This story also features at least one (1) heroic dog and one (1) heroic feline. Soon, I will open up nominations to folks on my newsletter list, so they can share suggestions about their special animal companions and why (and how) they should win one of these featured roles. Who knows, I may get so many GREAT ideas that I add pet characters! Once my subscribers have submitted nominated names, I’ll post the top contenders here on the blog for everyone to vote, along with details about the upcoming book.

The winners not only have their cat or dog featured as a character in the book, they also get an advanced Ecopy of the book, and a paw-tographed print book when it releases–oh, and bragging rights! They get named in the FACT OR FICTION back matter of the book, too. In fact, some previous winners remain in future stories. (“Macy” the Maine Coon was a past winner, for instance.)

SUBSCRIBE OPTIONS

So if YOU have a special cat or dog (or both!) that deserves to win the featured hero pet role in DARE OR DIE, if you haven’t already done so, please subscribe ASAP to the thriller newsletter on this page.

Why Dogs Chew Your Best Stuff

Dogs use their mouths like people use our hands. That means nearly everything goes into the puppy’s mouth as he explores the world, and teething pups chew to relieve the discomfort. Dogs never outgrow the gnawing habit, though, and that can get them in trouble.

Here’s why they target your favorite things…and what you can do to reduce the risk.

Pet Dehydration? Causes, Symptoms & First Aid for Dog Dehydration and Cat Dehydration

Cat and dog dehydration refers to the excessive loss of body water. Pets are prone to dehydration when the weather gets very hot, and they don’t have access to enough water. As a result, they can develop heatstroke. More often, though, dog and cat dehydration happens from vomiting and diarrhea.

Here in Texas, we’ve had weeks of triple-digit temperatures. I worry about the outside pets, but even indoor cats and dogs can suffer from dehydration. Normal water loss occurs in the pet’s bathroom deposits, through moisture exhaled with the breath, and through sweat. These fluids get replaced when the cat and dog eat and drink.

Any illness may prompt pets to stop eating and drinking, and prolonged fever increases the loss of body fluid. Specific disease conditions or injuries like diabetes or kidney disease may cause excessive urination that also causes of dehydration.

Cats evolved as desert creatures and have an amazing ability to conserve water, but cat dehydration can still kill. Even though cats seem to prefer to drink water in the weirdest places (the sink? your glass? the TOILET?!) they most often just don’t drink enough water. Here’s what you need to know.

Pet Rescue Breathing & CPR Saves Cat & Dog Lives

Do you know how perform Pet Rescue Breathing and pet CPR? You can save your dog or cat’s life by knowing how to do pet CPR and how to perform rescue breathing. Pets suffer brain injury and death if oxygen is cut off for only a few minutes. When minutes count, rescue breathing can save your pet’s life.

How to Find Lost Pets

July is National Lost Pet Prevention Month. More pets disappear over the July 4th holiday than any other time, because they get so scared about the noise. But pets get lost all the time. Both Karma-Kat and Shadow appeared as lost babies. Please bookmark this site for tips how to find lost pets.

Scaredy Cat? Teaching Shrinking Violet Shy Cats

Do you have a scaredy cat? Working with fearful and scared cats can be a challenge. Does Sheba hiss at strangers? Does Tom dive under the bed when the doorbell rings? Do your kitties attack other pets (or humans)? What can you do to stop bad behavior if even a mild correction sends the cat into fearful meltdown? Here’s help.

Fear of Fireworks & Thunder? How to Calm Pet Noise Fears

Does your dog fear fireworks? What can you do for a cat or dog scared of fireworks? What about earplugs for dogs? Cats aren’t immune so New Year’s celebrations, Memorial Day (or graduation hijinks), July 4th fireworks, and thunderstorms can turn pets into shivery bundles of fur when BOOMS, bright lights, or even wind and rain noise fill the sky. Pets can be scared of all kinds of loud noises, and I get asked for advice all the time.

I share this information twice a year in time for July 4 fireworks, and the New Year fireworks. No matter the time of year, always pay attention to pet safety. . .

First Aid for Pet Drowning

Swimming comes naturally to most animals, but pet drowning happens just as easily. Many puppies leap before they look, or simply fall into the swimming pool, hot tub or break through ice on the lake and can’t get out. Dog paddling may be instinctive, but they can still drown if they can’t climb out and get too tired to float. Learn how to treat dog drowning and save pet drowning victims…
