Dedication
This book is dedicated to the dozens of friends, professionals, and students who helped me through some very trying and interesting times—I thank you profusely because you kept me from going over the edge on many occasions.
I must also include all my “pet children,” especially Sophie and Nessa, who remind me each day that I was chosen to be their keeper.
About the Author
This book is the culmination of thoughts and experiences of longtime pet owner Barbara Novero Levy, who has loved and been owned by fifteen pets in the last 46 years. She inherited her lifelong love of animals from her mother and her paternal grandmother. Growing up, she had three dogs, a cat, a rabbit, two ducks, a chicken, and for a brief two days, even kept a piglet in the basement before it was adopted by a farmer.
Devoting many satisfying years caring for dogs with a variety of ailments has kept Barbara in close contact with her community veterinarian, specialty veterinary clinics, and the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Missouri-Columbia. These relationships have made highly specialized care available to her from some of the world’s top veterinary clinicians.
Currently retired, Barbara now spends her time writing, and is an active member of the Aging in Place Committee through the Sinclair School of Nursing at the University of Missouri-Columbia. She assists with geriatric pet projects at Tiger Place in conjunction with the Research Center for Human-Animal Interaction (ReCHAI)
She manages home and hearth, but recognizes her role as the Head Keeper of the Cottage, which is “owned” by two Blenheim Cavalier King Charles Spaniels.
