Sadie went everywhere with me...to the point that Lonna often referred to her as "the other woman."
Wow, this is getting fun. I once heard a writer say that he didn’t like his writing while he was doing it…but when it was done? Well, that was a different matter. I’m beginning to understand exactly what he meant. Writing and publishing a book is a big deal. There are many steps, registrations and bar codes that need to be in place, services to coordinate, and the list goes on. Fortunately I can leave most of the administrative effort to my publisher Riparian Press, a division of Knowledge Access Books.
My friends know that I’ve been working on Dr. Greg’s Dog Dish Diet: Sensible Nutrition for Your Dog’s Health for quite some time. Actually if you consider all the years I’ve been discovering and unraveling the all-important link between nutrition and a dog’s health, I’ve been working on this book for almost 30 years.
But now after writing the book, rewriting it, and enduring a couple rounds of edits, I’m beginning to see the book come together. And I’d like to share just one aspect of the book with you now…the illustrations. Dog Dish Diet is heavily illustrated. I think there must be close to 40 illustrations throughout the book, and as I look at them I see my pets and my life coming alive on the pages. It’s a very special experience.
I feel lucky that Dog Dish Diet features the original sketches, caricatures and drawings by Caleb Laughlin. Caleb is a talented artist; if you need an illustrator, let me give you a link to Caleb’s email. He has effectively captured my story, my dogs and my message. Bone Appetit!
