HB: Hi, nice people. This was me earlier. Yup. Mummsy coaxed me into this room with cookie pieces.
Poor little, little me. She strapped me to that orange noose. Can you believe it?That’s why we’re late posting today. Mummsy carried out plans to torture me today. She no longer pays Lisa Dominatrix at the pet shop to do it.
You wouldn’t believe what she did. All my beautiful hair has been shaved off. Woe is me! Woe is me! The Death by Metal Teeth buzzed off my beloved tresses. I can’t believe Mummsy did this to me.
Woe is me!
SPAL: And you call me pansy boy. You cried like a girl in there.
HB: But she used the Death by Metal Teeth on me.
SPAL: That’s a massager, stupid. It feels incredible on my belly. It’s the ultimate tummy rub.
HB: But look. All my hair is gone. It fell off and died because of those Death by Metal Teeth. Mummsy kept telling me I’d get more cookies if I stayed. She told me she loved me. She told me I was a good boy. She tricked me.
SPAL: ***laughs***
HB: What are you laughing at? I’m bald and my hair is dead.
SPAL: You won’t be bald for long. Your fluff always comes back. Besides, its better that Mummsy shave you with the Death by Metal Teeth than Daddy-O. He’s the one that nicked your eye the last time. Remember?
HB: Yeah. Anyway, Mummsy then gave me a cookie and put me in the Great Watery Abyss of Torture. I pleaded with her to stop, but she kept telling me how purdy I would be. And how good I would smell. She even gave me more cookies. I thought I would drown despite the cookies.
SPAL: ***Gasps and shudders***
HB: Yeah. Tomorrow its your turn.
SPAL: Okay, nice people. I’m going into hiding now, but please stay and check out Donna K. Weaver’s debut novel. Its got pirates, action, and romance.
WHAT THE BOOK’S ABOUT
When Lyn sets off on her supposedly uncomplicated and unromantic cruise, she never dreams it will include pirates. All the 25-year-old, Colorado high school teacher wants to do is forget that her dead fiancé was a cheating scumbag. Lyn plans a vacation diversion; fate provides Braedon, an intriguing surgeon. She finds herself drawn to him: his gentle humor, his love of music, and even his willingness to let her take him down during morning karate practices. Against the backdrop of the ship's make-believe world and temporary friendships, her emotions come alive.
However, fear is an emotion, too. Unaware of the sensitive waters he's navigating, Braedon moves to take their relationship beyond friendship--on the very anniversary Lyn is on the cruise to forget. Lyn's painful memories are too powerful, and she runs from Braedon and what he has to offer.
Their confusing relationship is bad enough, but when the pair finds themselves on one of the cruise's snorkeling excursions in American Samoa things get worse. Paradise turns to piracy when their party is kidnapped and Lyn's fear of a fairytale turns grim. Now she must fight alongside the man she rejected, first for their freedom and then against storms, sharks, and shipwreck.

DeleteCongrats to Donna!!
ReplyDeleteIt's terrible what poor dogs have to endure. My Clancy has been through his share of torture from the metal teeth. But you look so cute with your haircut, HB! :)
Oh but its soooo scary...those Death by Metal Teeth.
DeleteDeath By Metal Teeth is something I have to remember.
DeleteYeah, as long as those metal teeth don't take a chunk out of the doggy!
ReplyDeleteI'm much gentler than the Sweetman. And Sweetman is on restriction since he nicked the corner of his eye.
DeleteHit publish too fast. Thanks so much for highlighting my little baby book, Shelly!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a wonderful romantic read.
ReplyDeleteI used to have to bathe my cat. That's even less fun.
When I had cats, my vet told me to wrap the cat in the towel before putting them in water.
DeleteHooray for Donna! Her book sounds great. :)
ReplyDeleteWashed, or tried to wash my daughter's moggy a few months back. Even wearing my motorbike gloves didn't help. Kitler nearly clawed my face off.
ReplyDeleteKitler. LOL!

ReplyDeleteCongratulations to my friend Donna. Donna likes to go to Hawaii!
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Donna. With six kids and eight and grandkids, how on earth did she find time to write it?
ReplyDeleteYour dogs are adorable! My Sheltie HATES being bathes,or,groomed. He has a deadly feud with small appliances, and the hair drier and the clippers are mortal enemies.
LOL!
DeleteCongrats to Donna! I never had a dog I needed to shave. Poor thing. At least it's over now:D
ReplyDeleteDeath by Metal Teeth is bad.
