Creating a take-me-anywhere dog

Lorie%20Long.jpg

One last note for the weekend, click here to read my interview with author Lorie Long, who will be signing copies of her new book, "A Dog Who's Always Welcome," tomorrow at Barnes and Noble Booksellers at Tanglewood Mall at 2:30.

That's Lorie pictured here with her border terriers Dash and Chase.

Trainers from St. Francis Service Dogs will be on hand, and perhaps even one or two service dogs and their partners.

For the kids, there will also be a story time and a visit from Clifford the Big Red Dog.

Yeah Amy, maybe she'll convince to get a puppy! There's a sweet black lab mix at the RVSPCA who needs fostering!

Good job Nona!
