Laura L Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Didn't she write a book? Or is that just something my overly active imagination made up? I tried a search but too few letters there. Thanks, Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 I don't know if it's been published yet. I can do a search or e-mail her and see. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura L Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Thanks Julie. Not that I'm running short of books to read, but I thought that would be a good one if I hadn't just imagined it. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urge to herd Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Visit her blog, Vet on the Edge, I think it is. She mentioned a while back that she'd gotten a publisher, I think, and was getting her posts into book shape. Should be a really good one!

ShoresDog Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 From her blog -- Vet on the Edge -- it sounds like the book is in the process of being edited. I'm looking forward to it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
juliepoudrier Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Just heard back from her and the manuscript is being edited and proofread. Apparently there are several publishers interested in it. She says that she's busy with that and trying to post stories to her blog. She'll let us know when it is indeed published. J.

sweet_ceana Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'll have to snag a copy when it's out as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnLloydJones Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 I'll have to snag a copy when it's out as well. With her unique perspective on things, a clear ability to narrate a good story and the added interest that the Alaskan climate* provides, I am sure that I will also have to get a copy. Note* : Having lived 70° N for a while, I do know a bit about what it is to live there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juliepoudrier Posted February 11, 2010 Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 The latest word from AK Dog Doc is that the book will probably be available in about 14 months. J. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK dog doc Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 Hey, sorry about that, you guys. I don't quite know how the blogging got so out of control... and turned into writing a book... which has turned into writing two books... which has turned into editing two books and writing a third one... while still blogging. Oh, yeah, and still doing that whole veterinary medicine thing. No idea how that all came about. It just happened. I swear. I also discovered that there actually ARE only 24 hours in a day, so even though I gave up watching television completely back in April, I STILL don't have enough time in a day. I think the fact that I'm trying to read the first Harry Potter book in both French and Spanish, plus taking up drawing again, has made things a bit worse. (Obviously ONE thing hasn't changed: I'm still completely insane.) Today I'm a wee bit under the weather so I'm not hammering away at the languages or the sketches or the laptop OR the blog. So I stopped by to apologise for being such a weenie and now showing up around here for so long. My bad! (No biscuits for ME, obviously!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tassie Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 AK Dog Doc. And do the dogs fit in there somewhere? Will have to look out for the book! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack & Co. Posted February 12, 2010 Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 It's great to hear from you! I'll be looking for your books when they come out! Hope you can pop in when you have a "free" moment! (Now if we could only get RDM to come back too!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laura L Posted February 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2010 AK Dog Doc, good to hear from you and I'm happy about the books. I bookmarked your blog, so I can catch up on some of the reading. Now just take care of yourself! Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ItsADogsLyfe Posted February 15, 2010 Report Share Posted February 15, 2010 I really love reading your blog AK Dog Doc. , Your stories remind me a bit of James Herriot, which I love, only more modern. I will definitely buy your book when it comes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK dog doc Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Thanks! And, ME? write about my dogs? Why, whatever would make you ask...? Yep, they're in there. Back to working on chapter one, book two... in a minute... might need to browse a little first.... to avoid writer's block, OF COURSE. Why are you looking at me like that...?

flyer Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Love AK Dog's blog. Had no idea she was a poster here. I turned my 15 yr. old DD onto her blog as she is strongly considering becoming a vet. It's almost as good for getting a taste of the action as the shadow a vet week that her high school is sending her out on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Billadeau Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hil, If you give up your drinking parties (cleverly disguised as wine tasting) perhaps you would have time for us. Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK dog doc Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 Hil, If you give up your drinking parties (cleverly disguised as wine tasting) perhaps you would have time for us. Mark HEY! I did that ONCE in the last 8 years! Is that fair?!? I ASK you! Besides, I won a Wine-opoly game! I kicked a** that night! AND I didn't get a hangover or ANYthing! (Sheesh... look what things I'm all proud of. I should get a life or something.) And I guess I didn't disguise my drinking party cleverly enough, since you are onto me.... back to the drawing board! Flyer: That's hilarious! I'm glad that I have readers who didn't find me strictly from knowing me here - it's excellent that it works the other way 'round, too. Ironically, one of my sisters, Aziza, got some comment on her FaceBook account: FaceBook Fan: I love your writing; the only other internet writer that I like as much as you is this vet blogger from Alaska. Aziza: Yeah, I know who you mean, since that's my sister. We were both sort of amused that of all the MILLIONS of writers on the 'net, this person picks out only two... and they're sisters. Anyway, glad I've been educational AND entertaining! Ahhh. My work here is done. Well, okay, not DONE-done, but you know what I mean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
