About the Author

In the small town of Hoagland, Indiana, Shirley Scott and her husband Ray live on ten acres with their two Chihuahuas, Jack and Dobbie. Jack came to live with the Scotts because his former owners were moving and could not take him along. Jack constantly followed Shirley and seemed very lonely, so they adopted Dobbie from a pet rescue organization. Dobbie, who had been severely abused by his former owners, had many behavioral problems and insecurities. Therefore, the Scotts knew it was going to take a great deal of love and patience for him to adjust. Shirley and Ray were also faced with not knowing if the two dogs would be compatible with each other. Fortunately, Dobbie was the perfect playmate for Jack, and the Chihuahuas have brought the Scotts much joy. The author is writing this book series to document and share with others the natural interaction and sometimes amusing behavior of the two newest “members” of her family.
