When Erika adopted Mila, she naively believed that, like instant soup, she wouldn’t have to go through the process of cooking all the ingredients from scratch. She wouldn’t have to house train, obedience train, or intensely socialize a mature dog. Mila quickly proved how misguided she was! Introducing From Wolf to Supermutt and Everything In Between, a book to guide you and your dog to happiness and harmony. Predominantly written with information based on research studies, the book also includes anecdotes based on Erika’s own experience to give it the personal factor.

It’s been two years since I published Why Do People Have Pets?, a collection of 75 newspaper columns I wrote for the Daytona Beach News-Journal and Seniors Today. During that time, I had written over 100 columns about animal welfare and caring for pets. Fans of the book kept asking when the next book of columns would be available. Since publishing the last book, I have written over 100 columns. I have selected 64 of the columns I consider the best of the best, and those are included in this latest book, Why Do Pets Have People?

How do dogs communicate with humans and each other? The Psychology of Dog Ownership explores the nature of our unique relationship with dogs and its effect on our mental and physical welfare. The book uses psychological learning theory to examine dog behavior and highlights the importance of determining between typical dog behavior and behavior disorders that need treatment. 

Every pet parent knows what it means to love a pet, and unfortunately, most of us know what it feels like to lose a pet. This experience is heartbreaking and devastating.

Twix is my soul mate and means more to me than anything in this world. He might be a border collie, but we have a connection and an incredible relationship, unlike anything I had ever experienced before Twix came into my life.
