Local author, Barbara Boswell brunner will be on site signing her newly pubished book "Dog-Ma, The Zen of Slobber". You don't need to have a dog to love this book! Barbara's vivid and dramatic stories, told with a wicked sense of humor, will make you laugh out loud. She definitely gets what living with rescued dogs (nine of them!) is all about. When Barbara meets her future husband, Ray, it is love-and dog-at first sight. Over the course of thirty-two years, seventeen relocations and nine dogs, their mutual love of dogs guides them on their unconventional path. The love that Barbara and Ray get in return is literally lifesaving, with one dog attacking a lethal intruder and another discovering Barbara’s cancer. Her own survival story underscores the story of how her dogs become survivors themselves. Barbara and Ray now live quietly in Punta Gorda with their two dogs and copious amounts of dog fur.
