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

    "In Katrina, there was nowhere to go with your pets..."

    On this 10th anniversary weekend when we're remembering the devastation of Hurricane Katrina (and, ironically, Florida is in a state of emergency for Hurricane Erika), I decided to post something close to my heart.

    The Prologue from the book you pre-ordered, "Encounters with Rikki: From Hurricane Katrina Rescue to Exceptional Therapy Dog."

    Find it here:  Remembering Katrina Pets

    And when the books are published, you'll be among the FIRST to read the rest of the story.

    Many thanks for your interest!
