Julie Strauss Bettinger sent an update for Encounters with Rikki

We have books! Now it's time for a "pawtograph"...

Yes, if you've been anywhere on Facebook these last few days, I don't think you could have missed Rikki's beautiful mug on the cover of Encounters with Rikki and all the great comments from readers.

If you pre-ordered books, you may have just received yours. If not, you'll have it any day now.

If you're in the Tallahassee, Florida/Thomasville, GA area in the next few weeks, please bring them to one of the book signings below and we'll get them properly "pawtographed."

There will be more news on Rikki's Facebook page, so please be sure to "like" it to receive updates in your newsfeed. You can also learn more about her whereabouts via Twitter: @TherapyDogRikki

    Julie Strauss Bettinger sent an update for Encounters with Rikki

    To "Encounters with Rikki" fans -

    I'm very pleased to share news on Therapy Dog Rikki's work and the upcoming book.

    • There is an article in today's Tallahassee newspaper, which included Rikki's sweet face as a teaser on the front page and covered the entire section of the "family" section. Find a link here: http://on.tdo.com/1QYxfjG

    • Amazon is calling the book The "#1 New Release in Child Advocacy and Family Law."

    • Yesterday, an NPR group in Virginia also published a glowing review.

    Our publisher confirmed that books are in the distributor's warehouse, so those of you who pre-ordered can expect them in early January. Booksellers like Amazon, BAM and B&N ship at different times, so please don't get concerned if you hear people receiving them before you do.

    We have several opportunities already lined up for getting your copies "pawtographed" by Rikki. Please consider "liking" her Facebook page, so you can stay up to date on the events and opportunities. You can also learn more about her whereabouts via Twitter: @TherapyDogRikki

    And, of course, when you receive the book, please let me know what you think!

    I remain grateful for the privilege of telling this story...
