Ticker Tape Poetry and Other Things

About the Book

This is not your average book about a dog, or a pet, or a relationship between man and beast, or even a “how to” book. This book is about dogs that were regular customers to the grooming shop. Each poem is tailored to a certain pet. Each poem has an introductory paragraph that gives insight as to why the poem was written. All poems, well maybe with one or two exceptions, are funny, but not all poems are about dogs therefore the “and other things” in the title. The book also provides training tips that possible could help the reader.

About the Author

J. M. Butler, after serving 20 years in the U. S. Navy, retired to Hot Springs, Arkansas with her husband and to be near their children. Unfortunately, after only two years of retirement, Mrs. Butler lost her husband to colon cancer. Rather than go back into the military she decided to open a pet grooming shop where she offered Do-It-Yourself services along with professional grooming. So for the next 20+ years, Mrs. Butler wrote humorous poetry about her “furry” clients. J.M.Butler believes that laughter has a curing element, so by the time you reach the end of her book, you should be a very healthy person.
