De-Skunk Your Dog

Dear Friends,

While In the Doghouse is a work of fiction, I did draw from my personal experience as a pet-parent to create Skip’s personality and escapades, such as GETTING SPRAYED BY A SKUNK.

My dog, Kimo, who I pet-parented and adored for fourteen years, was a labrador-mix and was sprayed multiple times by skunks in San Francisco (yes, there are many skunks within the city limits).

People, tomato juice does not work–that’s an urban legend. Multiple baths won’t work–water makes the smell worse. But thanks to the dot-com era and the world wide web in 1999-2000, I found a De-Skunk formula that worked like magic. The first time I tried it, I was shocked by how quickly it worked; the smell was gone immediately. I channeled the memory while writing a scene for In the Doghouse. I’ll share the scene at the end of this newsletter. Right now, I want to share the De-Skunk Formula with you:

Now is the time . . . a gift for you

A quick FYI about my new book, In the Doghouse: A Couple’s Breakup from Their Dog’s Point of View, and how the publishing industry works for indie authors.

Now is the time to order it if you are anxious to get my new book when it releases on April 16th, because this week, Barnes & Noble, Amazon, and bookstores will tell my publisher how many books they need based on the pre-orders. The publisher will then print and ship the inventory to the vendors for release on April 16th. If you wait to order the paperback or hardcover book after this week, even if you are a Prime member with Amazon, lead and shipping times will probably be more like 2 weeks, not 2 days, unfortunately.

Plus, if you do pre-order, you will get 2 free months from DOGTV. Just email me your order deets and I’ll give you the coupon code: teri@tericase dot com.

Thanks for being you!

DOGTV Supports In the Doghouse with a Gift for You!

DOGTV Supports In the Doghouse and Has a Gift for You

Bow Wow! Super excited to share that DOGTV approves of my new novel, In the Doghouse: A Couple’s Breakup from Their Dog’s Point of View.

Their support is important to me because DOGTV is the number one resource for the comfort and stimulation of our dogs when they are alone. In In the Doghouse, the main character is Skip, a Wolador (part Timber Wolf, part Labrador). When his life is turned upside down and his human gets him a subscription to DOGTV so she can go to work guilt-free (almost), Skip is at first resentful because he knows what it means: he’s going to be left alone. I don’t want to give any spoilers, but it’s fair to say that Skip ends up thinking DOGTV is his personal reality show. So funny!
