I am the daughter of M J Vigna...Hi Arkansas Patti. I am the daughter of M J Vigna the author of Deadly Deadly. I am a partner with her on her writings and handle publishing and marketing. I just found your blog written about Deadly Deadly last October. I just wanted to thank you so much. I just came back from visiting my mom in Nevada. She is now writing a sequel to Deadly Deadly. It was written as a stand alone book but so many requests came to have a sequel that she is now attempting it. I am busy getting her next book ready for publishing. It is a fantasy/sci-fi. I think you will like this book as well even though it takes place in a world quite different from our own and the animals and beasts are unfamiliar to us but quite compelling. Watch for Ziggurian Wars in about 6 months. I really appreciate your good words on this book as I really loved it and would love to see "Deadly" made into a movie someday.

If not, I'll look on Amazon. I'm glad that reading helped a little. <br /><br />After Dulcy died I went to a grief support group for four sessions. The facilitator said that when someone dearly loves a companion animal, it takes a minimum of six months to grieve. So be good to yourself as these weeks and months pass. Your grieving is a sign of just how dear Mighty Dog was/is to you.

I am doing what I can right now to make it a wee bit easier. <br /><br />Maggie,<br />Thank you Maggie, Minnie and I appreciate your support so much.<br /><br />The Odd Essay,<br />My sympathies go out to your sister and I so understand. That is a lot of time to share with a special friend. <br /><br />Muffy,<br />Thank you so much. I know so many of my posts were about him. I will so miss my muse. <br /><br />Djan,<br />Hope you enjoy it. I got it when it was free but I see it is now on the paid list. <br /><br />Manzi,<br />Yes, she would be a fun neighbor. I too like those who don't seem to think age is a hindrance and just do.<br /><br />Linda W.<br />We are both hurting. I am so glad you have a "silver lining" to help out. Minnie is trying to do that here. <br /><br />Ginnie,<br />Thanks Ginnie. I am grateful for blogging not only for the support of great folks but that I also have a written and picture account of that little guy's adventures. <br /><br />LC<br />YES!! Reading is the great escape isn't it? I am so glad you find relief there also. <br /><br />LL Cool Joe,<br />Thanks so much Joey. He was a sweetie and I am grateful now for all the posts I did on him. <br /><br />Linda M,<br />Yes they are for most of us. And yes, she does rock. <br /><br />Peter,<br />It is just so hard to look into those sweet bovine eyes with long eyelashes and not be smitten isn't it? Jerseys are so sweet and gentle. Some of the dairies in Florida also used music for the cows. Makes sense to me.<br /><br />turquoise moon,<br />I know you have recently gone through the agony of losing Sophie. I so felt for you when that happened. We never forget them do we?<br /><br />Patty,<br />Thank you so much for your words of comfort Patty. I know you and Abe are real animal lovers. If I weren't as old as I am, I would consider another. <br /><br />Linda Starr,<br />The reader really makes a pile of books small and is great for doctor appts or anytime you have to wait somewhere. Plus it makes reading in bed so easy. Hope you cave.<br /><br />Naomi,<br />Thank you so much Naomi. I know you have gone through this when you lost your dear Sweetie. Those four legged ones really crawl into our hearts don't they?<br /><br />Suz,<br />I use to read a lot of animal books also but usually hated the endings. One that has haunted me for years and is not an easy read as there is almost no dialogue, is about Whales. "The Last Whales" by Lloyd Abbey, as I said can haunt you. <br />Arkansas Pattihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14156004753267665579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-33755055367883899382013-10-14T20:49:02.689-05:002013-10-14T20:49:02.689-05:00Losing a pet is such a tough thing.

While I am currently reading one about sharks, it is not the same thing. I will keep this one in my list of potentials in case I revert back to my old ways. islandwonderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09727478242779134189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509736677359366469.post-47103661867898234932013-10-14T20:46:52.864-05:002013-10-14T20:46:52.864-05:00I've thought so much about you Patti these las...I've thought so much about you Patti these last few days---i was going to write you and just say.

How wonderful it is that we can leave our armchair and go for adventures of all kinds with the help of a book!<br />I have loved cows probably since, at the age of about 6 or 7, we got to know a farmer who had a small herd of Jersey cows. He knew each one by name, and our first meeting with him was when we found him taking a Jersey calf for a walk on a lead through the bluebell woods near our home. The farmer milked his small herd in an ancient milking shed, with individual stalls for each cow, complete with a manger of hay for them to eat, and music playing on a radio, just for them. He said that the cows milked best to the sound of church bells!
