Dog lovers – Baydreamer Writes ~ Lauren Scott, Author

Dear Family and Friends,

I’m delighted to be over at Yvette’s today. She invited me to participate in an interview with her about King Copper, and she shares a snippet of her beautiful review on Amazon and how my book evokes memories of her beloved Cody...

Hello readers,

Today I am sharing about the book King Copper: Our dog’s life in poetry, by LAUREN SCOTT

My review is on Amazon and here is a snippet for the formal review there:

“King Copper was a short and beautiful read that I truly enjoyed. It’s not a long book, but it captures the experience of bringing Copper home, living with him, and loving him through to the remarkable age of 14 and a half. The author’s affection for Copper comes through so clearly, and the inclusion of poems, which included some excellent limericks throughout (this added a fun and charming touch). My favorite limerick was Choppers:

There once was a dog named Copper
Who sported a nice set of choppers
He’d wiggle for treats
Hold his nose up to beets
And would never eat a grasshopper!

FOUR QUESTIONS WITH LAUREN SCOTT

What’s your favorite part of the book and why?

LAUREN: The first part of the book consists of entertaining poems from when Copper was with us. Then the tone changes as the poems segue into sorrow when I was writing through the grief. So, reading the older poems about Copper’s lovable nature and humorous antics makes me smile. The photos I included also bring to mind precious memories.

What’s one thing you hope readers takeaway from this book?

LAUREN: When a furry family member or any pet passes that has touched our lives, the feeling is simply loss. They are not ‘just pets.’ Dr. Vicki Atkinson at victoriaponders.com underscores the reasoning in her review: “For many of us, our pets embody the qualities we long for in humans; especially those who disappoint us. Caring, loyal and loving, they ask only for those qualities in return – delighted by belly rubs and extra kibble now and then.”

Thank you for the comforting comments on my prior post about Copper’s passing. It’s been an emotional week. He was our family for 13 years, so his absence and everything triggers tears and sobs. But the wonderful memories are coming too. Right now, I feel wiped out. Wild emotions for four days can do that (today is day five). Not sure how long this will last, but we’re taking it one day at a time. Anyway, I’m sharing more photos of our beloved Copper Boy from over the years. We have a billion. I think this is therapy for me while living in a deep pit of grief, but someday, the pain will transform into those sweet, precious memories. Copper will always be in our hearts. I’m also turning off comments because I just don’t have the energy. I’m sorry for missing your posts, and I hope you understand, but I hope to be back on board soon. ❤️
