The Alexanders are dog lovers. You likely already know that Joe and I have two dogs—Murphy and Bailey (who has a treat in her mouth but stopped briefly to pose)…
Half siblings, they share the same mom but different dad
Kurt and Kellie, our son and daughter-in-law, also (as of this weekend) have two dogs. You may have already met Malcolm, a Double Doodle (a multiple hybrid mixed breed containing elements of Golden Retriever, Labrador, and Standard Poodle in their makeup). Here he is as a puppy…
And here’s Mal NOW!
And now meet Malcolm’s newly-adopted sweet sister Rue!
Kellie and Kurt just adopted Rue this weekend. Isn’t she a beauty? And she and Malcolm are already getting along famously.
Our daughter Kelsey also got a dog this weekend, but not “for keeps.” Kels has decided to foster dogs for a local animal rescue called Proverbs 12 while the dogs await adoption.
Meet Clifford…
If you live in Middle Tennessee, check out Proverbs 12 Animal Rescue, an organization committed to ‘Helping His Helpless’ through quality care and healing, adoptions, and population control awareness.
Finally, it’s RELEASE DAY! But not for me. : )
Our own Deb (Raney) and I have been writing critique partners for over—what, Deb—22 years now? And Deb’s newest book has just released…
HER FAMILY’S LEGACY HAD BEEN FULL OF DEEP SORROW.
AND NOW IT LOOKED AS IF HER LIFE WOULD FOLLOW THE SAME PATH.
BUT HER GOD WAS STILL IN THE BUSINESS OF REDEMPTION.
Grab Breath of Heaven on Amazon
I’ve read this story and it is gripping!
The setting is South America. David and Natalie Chambers are newlywed missionaries to the villagers in Timoné when the unthinkable happens. As the backcover blurb states, “Their faith—and their love—will be tested in ways they never dreamed, and the decisions they make will echo for generations to come.”
Breath of Heaven is the third in a series but also stands wonderfully on its own. If you haven’t read Beneath a Southern Sky (book 1) and After the Rains (book 2), now you’ve got three fabulous new reads!
So are you a dog lover? Cat lover? Llama lover?
What’s your favorite animal of choice?
Blessings on your Tuesday, friends, and hope you had a wonderful July 4th celebration!
