On the way to Idaho, mommy read a book called “Merle’s Door” and she loved it! She read the whole book while daddy drove the 16 hours to Idaho. The book was about a dog that found its owner on a riverbank and they became inseparable. It was also about how the guy learned a lot from his dog and mommy said she learned a lot about dogs from the book. Well……it just so happens that the author, Ted Kerasote, lives outside of Jackson, WY in a small village named Kelly. So mommy being the crazy person that she is decided to stop by and meet him. (she REALLY liked the book!)
The village is really small so from the description in the book and some help from a neighbor–we found his house and stopped by==twice! The first time he wasn’t home but 2 people just happened to be dropping off his new dog, Pukka, when we were there and they just happened to be in the book too! They told us to come back tomorrow so on our way to the lake, we stopped by again and Ted was home.
He was very nice and we stayed for a little while. Mommy got 2 books autographed and a picture of Ted and his new dog, which he wrote another book about that will be coming out in a few months. I had fun too cause I got to chew on an elk bone while mommy chatted with Ted.
His cabin was really nice too (I ran all through it) and I pooped in his yard too (mommy forgot to clean it up! –whoops!) If you haven’t read the book, you should–we think that you will really like it! We are going to try to get Ted to come to San Diego on his new book tour, stay tuned…..
