Your pictures were great and your dogs are adorable, cute, funny, majestic and over-all fantastic! The judges had a difficult time choosing four dogs – one winner who will star in The Winner Is...and three runners up.
The winner’s picture will appear on the cover and every page of the book - and three runners up will have their picture on one page. For my up-coming cat book Purrsnikitty (hopefully out by June- I’ll send an email) we had a similar contest to find our star. The Winner Is… will have your wonderful dogs depicted in the same fashion.
And Now for the results of our Floppy Eared Dog Contest:

The winner is Gabriel, whose proud owner is
Jimma Schoch. |
 |
First runner up is Jackson, owned by James Leib. |
 |
Second runner up is Zephyr, owned by Donna Funk. |

Third runner up is Shine, whose owner is Julianne Scott. |

All of the contest entries exemplify the special qualities that dogs bring to our lives. Some of you shared your stories of how you got your dog, how your dog “fits in” or takes over the bed or other space at home, etc. All of you love your dogs - so evident in what you said – even in two words. Thank you Everyone!
The Winner Is…Should be out before Christmas. I may send updates, so you’ll have a sense of its progress Again, Thanks!

MOMENTS IN OUR LIVES
(2004 paperback and audio CD) contains 65 short poems, little vignettes, of everything that women experience during their lives. It's chronological - with a picture opposite each poem about moments in all our lives - from a baby's birth to the wisdom of age and the everyday memories in-between. Florence Henderson said, "Kathy Brodsky's poems are a delight. They are full of humor, compassion, and insight into women's joy, frustration, and sadness." This is a very nice "pick up, put down" type of book - great for any woman - especially if they have ever had children.
A terrific book for men to have a better understanding of women.
