My Thoughts on Every Dog Has His Day

Every Dog Has His Day is a delightful addition to a wonderful series that has Gone to the Dogs! In more ways than one.  I’m obviously a fan of dogs.  We’ve got three German Shepherds in the house and three Great Pyrenees/Anatolian Shepherd mixes (plus a few puppies) outside with the livestock.  All of our dogs are spoiled and well-loved.  

What I can’t say is that I’ve ever had a small dog.  The smallest I’ve ever had was a sheltie.  But he like the Ginger in the story was definitely a runner.  He’d zoom right off the first chance he could.  And then you’d spend hours trying to catch him as he would taunt you from just out of your reach.  

This is such a sweet book.  It’s suspense but in a low-key way.  There’s a missing dog and people are off to find her.  Some minor other conflicts.  And football.  I pretty much am not a sports person so some of the book was not my favorite but I did truly love the book overall. 

You’re going to love running off with the dogs in this one!  And let me tell you there is a happy ending and lots of fun along the way.

The Story Behind the Story

For years now, I’ve been in the dog rescue business. I’ve fostered close to 50 dogs—some from the local shelter, some from an amazing dog rescue organization called My Chi and Me, and some directly from the streets of Houston.

About a year ago, (around the same time I set out to write Every Dog Has His Day) I was given a tiny red dachshund to foster. If you know anything about me at all, you know that I’m head-over-heels in love with dachshunds, especially red ones. I had a female red dachshund named Sasha who lived with me for 15 years. She passed away in 2017, just after my mom died.

When this tiny red doxie came to stay at my house last year, I was tempted to keep her. But I’ve already got three dogs of my own. So, she went to my grandchildren, who live about 30 minutes away.

Here’s the fun part: I got to name her.

I gave her the name Ginger because of her color. (Interesting irony: I’m allergic to ginger. Can’t touch the stuff!)

Now that she’s been in the family a year or so, she’s become my favorite grand-dog. Ginger stays with me a lot—when the family is vacationing, when she needs to socialize with my dogs, and when I’m lonely for her.

I love this little girl.

She’s an absolute doll. Okay, she’s naughty as can be, but she’s a doll.

So, when I got ready to write Every Dog Has His Day, I decided to include Ginger as part of the story. Trust me when I say the real Ginger is a runner, just like the fictionalized one! If I opened the front door, she would run right out. And, just like the dog in the book, she probably wouldn’t come back.

Our Ginger doesn’t have a white patch on her paw.

(Most doxies, other than dapples, are solid color.) But I needed to give my fictional Ginger a distinguishing mark so that the two characters (her rescuer and her owner) could end up squabbling over her.

As is the case in most of my stories, my characters end up romantically involved. Hey, dogs aren’t just great companions; they’re wonderful matchmakers, too! As of yet, the real Ginger hasn’t brought a love interest into my life. (Here’s hoping!)

I hope you enjoy Every Dog Has His Day. As you read about that tiny mischievous doxie, just know that she’s a very real little dog—one who climbed up on my kitchen island just yesterday and got into some carefully-wrapped treats I’d made for the grandkids.

Sometimes life really is stranger than fiction!
