Dog parents – Baydreamer Writes ~ Lauren Scott, Author

From the hugs, cuddles, and games of fetch, Copper learned he could trust us. And so, he became family. For thirteen years, he gave us unconditional love. He crossed over the rainbow bridge this past March. It is serendipitous to know that he came into our lives in March and left our earthly world also in March – the month of new beginnings. He was a bright light in our lives that will shine eternally. This is the power of our dogs or any pet. They leave a positive, long-lasting imprint on our souls. (Part of the Preface)

He Carries On

A copper-colored coat he dons
Looking handsome as a celebrity icon
A senior now
Gray on his brow
Even with pains, he carries on.

My Shadow

Feeling empty in my bones
walking from room to room,
where is my shadow?

I hope you’ll let Copper touch your heart like he’s touched so many already. Or perhaps, you have a friend or family member who would find comfort in reading my book. A Huge Thanks to You who have read this special poetry collection and left beautiful, heartfelt reviews. ❤️🤎🧡

Dear Family and Friends,

I’m excited to be at Sally’s today to spread the word about my special tribute to Copper. The tour began with Maggie on August 4th, so it’s been a whirlwind of love and support from this warm community. Sally is a generous soul by sharing fellow author’s books. Here’s a peek into what her site is all about:

Smorgasbord Blog Magazine was the follow on to a physical newsletter that I published every month for two years, on subscription to listeners to my radio show.. I expanded the original format which was mainly health articles, to including book marketing, music, humour, lifestyle, cookery and food and short stories. My aim was to create a watering hole that provided a wide number of topics to chat about….This has now developed further to provide a platform for other authors to share their work. This year the blog celebrates thirteen years, eleven of them as Smorgasbord Blog Magazine.

Thank you so much, Sally, for your generous heart! You, Maggie, Mike, Jacqui, Brian, and Ernie have brought magic into this blog tour. Marketing isn’t fun, but you all have made it fun and exciting, and I’m running out of ways to say “Thank you” from the bottom of my heart! ❤️

Now I invite you to click on the link below to be gently carried over to Sally’s. Each post on the tour offers something different to provide insight about Copper and my need to preserve memories, but to also write through the grief of “saying good-bye.” And take your time to get acquainted with Sally if you haven’t just yet. She is one of many talents! Comments are turned off. 💜
