The Complete Works of Monty Dogge
Wyming Wendlesday started back in 2017 and originally began with a silly weekly poem just to start everyone's day with a smile.It became very popular and kind of took on a life of its own with Monty the self-titled Poet Newfiette penning verses about his life in Wigwam, observations of his hoomans, and his agony of sharing a home with Cookie aka the Heffalump aka the Hairy Hippo, and of course the Spangles.When the 'Cwissymouse' poems started in 2015 they were so popular that we had the idea of asking for a donation to charity leading up to their release the week before the big day.This resulted in thousands of pounds being raised for animal welfare, veterans and children's charities.Monty passed in 2022 but not before sharing his life with everyone through his stories and poems. This book has been a labour of love for me and a lovely way to honour his memory.I hope you enjoy the complete works of Monty Dogge and they bring a smile to your day. I know that would make him very happy.

The Most Beautiful Book
In this book, riders and horse owners share their most personal, beautiful, moving, and life-shaping experiences with horses. It is a beacon for the uniqueness of these extraordinary, intelligent, gentle, funny, and incredibly sensitive animals that will not only inspire horse enthusiasts but prompt every reader to reflect. Anyone who reads this book will recognize that animals have a soul and feelings that are equal or sometimes even superior to humans. "These stories are a testimony to how significant the love of an animal can be, how much we can learn from them, how often they save us. - And it becomes clear how loud it can be when you whisper. Hopefully, this book will encourage readers to reflect and bring about positive change, not only for horses, but for all animals." Julie von Bismarck

Dining Al Fresco with My Dog
A widow and her white-muzzled dog, a coastal landscape filled with bully winds, characters who relieve the loneliness of being alone: Sue Fagalde Lick weaves these images throughout Dining al Fresco with My Dog in narratives both vulnerable and brave. Whether floating in her hot tub with memories of her husband or fixing a roof, she proclaims: "I am old, but... / warm dog at my fingertips, / I feel light as the alder tree, / rooted here for eternity". This is a touching celebration of life in poetry at its best.--Carolyn Martin, Ph.D., author of The Catalog of Small Continents Sue Fagalde Lick, in her collection, Dining Al Fresco with My Dog, walks us comfortably into her later life where she is "turning butch in [her] old age...now...wife and husband too." She imagines with humor how a cryptic observer would see her, guiding the reader through her daily routine of dog, pellet stove, writing, and reading, and concludes with, "Eats three times a day, keeps warm, still alive." She shares the richness of her solitude in nature (and the solitary nature of the writing life) but with many forays into the music, humor, and warmth she finds in her community. As a reader, I feel included and deeply satisfied.-Rachel Barton, editor of Willawaw Journal and author of This is the Lightness Grief. Brave attitude. Small triumphs. "Dear dead departed husband, / your being dead and departed / is a major pain in the ass." The widow senses her husband everywhere. Wears his shirts. Stacks the logs. Learns to change a spark plug. Sue Fagalde Lick may make you weep, make you smile. And then, of course, there's the dog. This is a strong book.-Penelope Scambly Schott, author of On Dufur Hill
