My Real Life Pets
I cannot imagine living without being surrounded by animals. At home, I have two horses and a pony, two barn cats, and indoor cat, and a dog. I sometimes laugh that everyone gets fed in the evening and taken care of long before I sit down to a meal. But I wouldn't have it otherwise. I find peace and contentment even on the worst day being near the horses, breathing in the earthy barn scent and listening to them munch hay. My two new barn cats delight me with their antics and talkative natures. They are so unlike my indoor cat who is reserved and sparing with her affection, but she will keep me company from across the room when I'm writing along with my little dog, my shadow, who never leaves my side.
Book Excerpt
Dream Horse
Sarah never lets on where she gets her horses, but many of them have seen what she calls “bad miles.” I’ve asked where they come from, and she always answers with something vague—like “he needed a new home and I had an empty stall”or “she told me she was ready to move on to something new, so I took her in.” Like they’re stray kittens or something.
“Horses have long memories,” I say, hoping she’ll tell me more.
Her dark eyes meet and hold mine. “Long, long memories.” She runs her hand down Octavia’s face and touches foreheads with the mare. “Thank God they’re also very forgiving.”
