Taffy Goes to the Vet

Today, beautiful Taffy went to the vet for her x-rays, to see how her front two feet are coming along after seven months. She’s had two sets of x-rays in order to compare “then” and “”now.” We had high hopes that we would see improvement and the bones rotating back to their correct positions. HoweverContinue reading “Taffy Goes to the Vet”

Taffy Update

Taffy just turned two years old on Wednesday, March 26. Happy birthday, Taffy! We sure wish you felt better. As I’ve mentioned before, Taffy suffers from a severe–and somewhat rare–form of laminitis. The vet believes it came about because of the move from CA to TX a year and a half ago. Very stressful, evenContinue reading “Taffy Update”

New Jenny Grant Covers

I confess, I have not yet written a word (except that 1,000 words from chapter one of Trouble in Tacoma). But I tweaked and redid the covers. Does that count? LOL I tried to make the cover “cleaner,” i.e. with less borders and extras. I minimized the logo to kind of match the Circle CContinue reading “New Jenny Grant Covers”

Jack Goodwin Quiz Winner

My author copies came, and I think I posted a link to get an early copy, but here it is again. I have discovered something very interesting about the character quizzes. Most of the entries that send in their answers right away (in a hurry) usually miss one or more of the questions. The firstContinue reading “Jack Goodwin Quiz Winner”

Book 8 Came to My Doorstep Early!

Circle C Adventures book 8, More Tales from the Circle C Ranch, showed up yesterday, about five weeks early (before the release date of April 22). This means that those who have committed to reviewing should also be receiving your copies of the book in the next week or two. I went ahead and putContinue reading “Book 8 Came to My Doorstep Early!”

This contest has closed. Thanks for playing and watch for the winner to be announced tomorrow morning. WHAT AM I WINNER: (The image is a SEA URCHIN): Not as many entries because I think many found it just too hard to guess. Only 89 entries, and of those, 26 guessed correctly. Of those 26, Random.orgContinue reading “Character Quiz: Jack Goodwin”

I Fixed the Home Page!

Everything actually worked out for the best. I was able to create new graphics for all of the different pages (like the Fan Fiction and the Circle C Short Stories) and the blog post categories. I think it looks pretty sharp. What do you think? Everything works! And . . . tomorrow I will announceContinue reading “I Fixed the Home Page!”
