In a recent article in Psychology Today, it was noted that
the relationship between people and their pets is changing. Many now see their
pets as “core family members."
I am one of those people!
Much as I did for my own children, I admit to doing all of
the following for Henry, my sweet dog, a seven year old shih tzu.
I took him to obedience school (didn’t help)
I admit to spoiling him
I’m hesitant to leave him alone.
Yes, Henry is definitely my fur baby, and a core family member.

My newest Irish release, 1-800-IRELAND, is on pre-order.
Fans of OH DANNY BOY will enjoy this emotional
contemporary romance, and book 3 in the 1-800 series.
Two favorite characters from my previous books, Kathleen
from OH DANNY BOY, and Rob from 1-800-CUPID, meet at a tea house in Roses,
North Carolina.
Irishwoman Kathleen Kelly wants to renovate her new tea
house in America to a sparkling shine, enticing droves of customers to Roses,
NC. But the project quickly takes a turn for the worse when her hard work falls
flat.
Rob Taylor knows a thing or two about running a business.
He’s built Rob’s Marvelous Muffins into a thriving business catering to
hundreds of customers.
With Rob in Miami and Kathleen in Roses, a May-December
romance isn’t a part of Kathleen’s carefully laid-out plans. Besides, they’ve
both admitted to each other how unlucky they are in love. Better to leave romance
out of the picture and stick to friendship and hard work.
Kathleen has no choice but to face what she is most afraid
of … commitment.
And it will take more than hot tea and marvelous muffins to
bridge the gap between them.
