This past weekend Wonderland Books, located in Bethesda, Maryland, is hosted a book event for my recently released book, ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs! Four dogs that are included ABANDONED attended: Denny, Minnie, Clooney, and Dreyfuss! It was so wonderful to see these dogs in person, along with there humans, after so much time has passed since starting this project! Additionally, what made this book event unique, is that it included four adoptable dogs via Forever Changed Animal Rescue, complimenting the mission of ABANDONED: raising awareness of the plight of dogs in need, while illustrating the positive impacts of dog rescue for both humans and dogs alike. Importantly, all of the dogs received adoption applications, which is so great! A few images from the book event are shown below!

The Winter 2024 issue of the Animal Welfare Institute Quarterly Magazine wrote a lovely book review about my debut book, ABANDONED: Chronicling the Journeys of Once-Forsaken Dogs!
“..[U]sing striking black-and-white imagery . . . Abandoned raises awareness about the benefits of animal adoption. Both the dogs and their adopters experience the restorative power of the human-animal bond, manifested in the magic of everyday moments.”

Happy Pawlidays! I wanted to thank you so very much for checking in over the past year — I am very grateful. It has been an exciting year for us!
Below is the front of our Pawliday card (the back of our card containing text is not pictured), along with our matching envelopes using little photo seals of our beautiful girls, Alex and Victory! And, unfortunately, custom stamps are still no longer permitted by the Post Office, but I used beautiful Ansel Adams stamps. (You can view our previous Pawliday cards: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, and here). Sending our Pawliday card is one of my favorite parts of the Holiday season! This is my way of sharing our Pawliday card with you. It has been an exciting year and we have so much to be grateful for. Thank you for reading this blog for however long or short you have been reading. I sincerely enjoy creating content for the blog to share with you.
