Local writer and former elementary school teacher, Connie Warnock, recently published a warm-hearted and funny story of a litter of puppies who get into some mischief on Christmas Eve.
Sure to become a new holiday tradition, “A Christmas Tail” is loosely based on a true experience that her own family (and pups!) survived one Christmas.
Connie’s relationship with Shih Tzu’s began in 1978 with two puppies. Over the years, she made a name for herself in the dog show world earning many Best of Breeds and Best in Shows as a breeder/owner/handler (the triple threat!). Eventually, she combined her love of writing and dogs and began to write articles for The Shih Tzu Reporter about her experiences as a breeder and about the everyday experiences of homelife with a multigenerational family of dogs. Her dog articles and stories eventually made it into local town newspapers such as the Sandy Profile, where she was a regular columnist for years.
At 80 years young, Connie is also a talented artist, animal lover, and movie buff who published a book of poetry and prose called “My Song” in the late 70’s and also has an e-book compilation of her dog stories called “Dogs: The Best Medicine”. Her observations of the dog-to-dog relationships within her own group of dogs are both hilarious and endearing.
A Christmas Tail can be purchased in-store and online at Barnes and Noble as well as on Amazon and Connie’s own website www.conniewarnockbooks.com.
