Words and pictures from the author of the Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries

At First Glance . . .
. . . I thought the worst.
Then I paid attention to the relative sizes of the con trails.
Willa is home and in good spirits . . . though still a little sleepy from the anesthesia and the tranquilizers the vet gave her. Evidently she didn't like being in a cage.
A friend just started being a foster mom for kittens, and said they are to have their "fixing" done when they weigh 2 pounds, so then they can go to new owners while still tiny and cute! Just though Willa might like to hear about her cousins...the feline kind. Kuddos to her for having her big surgery.
Willa doesn't have stitches on the outside -- the incision is glued together. It's kind of amazing. So no lampshade, thank goodness.
She's doing great -- back to sleeping between me and John and all's right with Willa World! Yes, she's reveling in the attention!
They really prefer to do the surgeries quite young -- before the first heat because it's safer for the dog (or cat.) And they put a tiny tattoo mark on her belly to indicate that she's been spayed. So, she's fashionable. No piercings though.
Glad to hear Willa is doing well. She sure sounds like a little free spirit! Maybe a microchip might have been a good idea too. :-) I keep telling myself with the collie girls that some day all that energy will diminish, but boy they do wear me out. Hears hoping Willa doesn't miss a beat and that you have a great Christmas week. Tammy

I'm the author of The Elizabeth Goodweather Appalachian Mysteries from Bantam Dell. The series includes SIGNS IN THE BLOOD (LA MONTAGNE DES SECRETS in France), ART'S BLOOD, (LE SECRET DES APPALACHES in France,) OLD WOUNDS,IN A DARK SEASON (Anthony Nominee, Best PBO), and UNDER THE SKIN. There's also THE DAY OF SMALL THINGS (a spinoff/standalone)chronicling the unexpected life story of Miss Birdie, one of Elizabeth's neighbors.
I came to this weird business late (my first novel was published in 2005) and am still trying to figure it out.
As my novels are set in a place much like my real life home, I thought I'd use this blog to share pictures of our farm and county. I've been blogging for over five years now, on an almost daily basis, and the topics have ranged from writing, chickens, food, books, quilts, flora and fauna of all sorts, to the occasional tiny rant. There's no plan, but there are lots of pictures.
There's more information about me and my books on my web site: http://vickilanemysteries.com/

Belly rubs to Willa. On second thought, better make that head scratch, for now.
Is Willa wearing one of those light-shade affairs, to prevent her from pulling the stitches?
I bet she is getting lots of attention now....and lapping it up!
Enjoy the break. Willa will be all puppy energy again today.
wishing willa a speedy recovery...and keep looking up...smiles...
Yes, enjoy the break... ;-)
