How Meg Changed Her Mind

Book Cover & Preview Text
Meg was a happy dog. She lived with her person and two cats, Cougar and Benney, in an old adobe home, surrounded by beautiful desert, just outside of Tucson, Arizona.
Meg loved being outside. She played chase in the early mornings with cottontail rabbits and round tailed ground squirrels. Meg felt joyful and free as she galloped under trees, kicking up sand with her feet, ears flying in the breeze.
Inside, the cats, Cougar and Benney were great fun. Benney would run back and forth with Meg in big circles. When they were told to stop running in the house, they would settle on the floor for a round of “Snap and Swat” or “Rug Rumple”. Sometimes, Benney would even roll up in a rug and pretend to hide!
After playtime, Cougar was always willing to join Meg for a relaxing nap on the couch. Meg, soothed by the rumble of Cougar’s purring, would drift into pleasant dreams.
One day, Meg had a visitor. Her person’s special friend brought his dog, Baylee, to play with Meg.
Meg loved company. She and Baylee had great fun. They sniffed fragrant creosote and brittle-bushes. They ran, barked and kicked up dust together.
