Fanta to the Rescue
Little Honker's next adventure sat in a file folder for three years. I could not figure out how to get him out of the pond. First his story was a picture book that went no place. Back in the folder. While he was resting in the folder, I mulled over a number of possibilities. I asked for suggestions from my elementary school teacher friends. Little Honker remained in the folder. Then it happened! We adopted three rescue cats in the fall and in the summer our youngest granddaughter stayed with us most of the summer. One day she was taking a bath and Fanta decided to join her. She jumped right into the bubble bath and both Kaycee and she were shocked. Right there in my bathtub was the answer! Fanta would help Little Honker get out of the pond. The remainder of the book came together easily after that. And, the rescue facility, FUR the Love of Paws proudly promoted the book that featured our kitties.
Book Excerpt
Little Honker's Backyard Adventures
“I. . . (gasp) . . .am. . .(gasp) not. . .(gasp) . . . like (gasp) . . .you,” Warren honked.
Suddenly there was another splash in the pond. Warren felt a push, a shove, and the next thing he knew, he was at the edge of the pond. He pulled himself up, shook himself off, and looked around.
He saw another cat. Big, mostly black, and soaking wet just like he was.
“Who are you? Where did you come from?” Warren asked.
“I jumped over the fence when I heard your honks. You’re a cat. Why do you honk?” the new arrival asked.
“My honk is my meow. I was born this way,” Warren said. “What’s your name? Where do you live?”
“I go by Fanta. We are moving in next to you.”
“You seem to like the water. Even though I like new adventures, I don’t think the water is a good adventure for me. As you saw, swimming is something I can not do very well,” Warren said.
