It would be a top seller with all of us at YT buying a book about Jack & Eddie, just think about when everyone else buys.....great pics....and when you get your outfit from Corrine, I want to see pics of that also......

The author I was talking about that came to visit our school with his dog was Richard Stack. He has a series of books about his dog -- the Josh the Wonderdog books.

Believe me, Mike, I don't know much about your writing skills, but I am 100% positive that you could write a better book and do a better job of presenting yourself, Eddie and Jack.

OMG! A porcupine

Is there any animal you guys DON'T have up there?? I'm waiting to see pictures of a flamingo next

We have 72 acres of cedar bush up here in Canada & all we find are dead porcupines

because there are TONS of fishers here

They look like ferrets, but they kill all kinds of other animals (mainly horses, believe it or not). It's gross, but they crawl into the butt & eat ALL of the insides & then exit the way they went in. So, you're literally left with just the skin, but it's all intact - kinda like a shell.

We've found MANY empty porcupines, unfortunately. Poor little guys.

We've found a small deer, a cat

, a neighbor's donkey, & a couple wolves, too

All from fishers. My uncle also had a horse killed by a fisher.

Wow, I've never heard of that. Keep them fishers away from me and my boys!

Mike,

Wow..those are some pretty cool and yet scary photos!

Go for writing that book about Jack and Eddie, it would sell like crazy! And, actually, you need to put that BIC (Butt in chair) LOL It's something writers say about just sitting at the computer and writing.

Good luck!

Thanks, Marly! That's probably the best advice yet. I've got the pics, I've got the idea, I've got the encouragement. Now I just gotta do it!

We hadn't either until my uncle's horse was found dead with most of its insides gone, but no exterior marks at all.

And they're so small that they fit right through electric fences, etc.
