What Is Doga?
Dear Friends,
Have you heard of Doga? I first learned about people doing yoga with their dogs while I was drafting my novel, In the Doghouse: A Couple’s Breakup from Their Dog’s Point of View (now available). And since the novel focuses on rescue dog, Skip, and his heart-broken human, Lucy, I decided doga was a must for Skip and Lucy’s journey from the achy-breaky-heart club to … well, I don’t want to spoil the book for you if you haven’t read it.

Dear Friends,
Revisiting V. M. Burns’ In the Doghouse
Several months ago, I shared the below guest newsletter from author V. M. Burns, and I’m honored to share it once again.

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:
How Are You?
How Are You?
Dear Friends,
How are you?
Everyone deals with a change to normalcy differently. There’s no right or wrong way to find your footing. Here are a few things that resonated deeply with me while offering a much-needed smile during these super abnormal times.
If you can handle a few well-placed F-bombs and Sh-bombs, I love how author Chuck Wendig explains what he is feeling and thinking during COVID-19 and #stayhome in his blog, “It’s Okay that You’re Not Okay.” Okay, I just read it for the fifth time. Even if you don’t like F-bombs or Sh-bombs, I hope you’ll still read it.

Dear Friends,
