It took a mutt named Casey to change the life perspective of former Chatelaine editor RonaMaynard. Then she wrote a book about it.— via healthing_ca ecwpress starterdog healthing dogsarethebest adoptdontshop
ADVERTISEMENTIt began as a series of vignettes about Casey that I shared on Facebook. I didn’t know I was writing a book; I just came home overflowing with enchantment that I wanted to share. And people began to say, ‘These should be a book.’ And once I started, it was very hard to stop because every day brought new experiences. I had some trouble finishing it because there was no obvious narrative arc. In a lot of dog books the ending is the death of the dog.
Then the pandemic happened while I was working on the book, and the tenor of our walks changed quite profoundly. People stopped coming up to us to chat, they would swerve to avoid their neighbours on the sidewalk. Some people with small dogs picked them up and scurried past. At that point I realized I was going to have to wrap it up.I had written a book before and I didn’t have an idea for another one. I very much missed colleagues.
