Amazon’s Description of Doggie Haiku by Laura Stamps

Cindy is a shopaholic. She’s also the “Treat Lady.” There’s always a treat in her pocket for the neighborhood dogs. But what she really wants is a dog of her own. One day she sees Hazel at the local shelter. A tiny, frightened, senior Chihuahua. And she can’t resist. However, walking a dog in the snow is not her thing. So she applies for a transfer at her job. Soon Cindy and Hazel are on the road to the Florida office. To blue skies, sandy beaches, sunshine, and those Southern men. (Oh, my!) Let the adventures begin…!

What others say:

“In this charming novella, award-winning poet Laura Stamps gallops her way into our hearts one Haiku syllable and one cute doggie at a time. Her pace is fun and intentional. I read Doggie Haiku first thing this morning. It was a delightful way to start my day. Marvelous storytelling. Beautiful, fun, and very well done. You’ll laugh and smile!”

– Zaneta Johns, Author of Encore: A Collection of Poetry

“Absolutely LOVED it! This new novella by the super Laura Stamps is a delightful treat. Full of doggy fun and an owner’s adventures, it’s not to be missed. All the cute pictures will make you laugh out loud too. Don’t wait. Get it now!”

– Laura Besley, Author of 100neHundred

“This was such a fun read! If you want a dog (or to find true love), this charming and funny novel written in haiku is for you. You’ll smile through the adventures of Cindy (a certifiable shopaholic) and Hazel (her Chihuahua). Read it whenever your spirits need a lift!”

– Nolcha Fox, Author of Words into Elephants

This is my Amazon five-star Amazon review of Doggie Haiku

A Cute, Funny and Touching Adventure with a Dog

This poetry novelette takes the reader on an adventure with Cindy and her Chihuahua Hazel. Cindy loves dogs more than anything. One day she picks up a scared black and white chihuahua from the shelter. Poor Hazel had been abandoned. So, begin their adventure together. They move to Florida, where they meet people and dogs. Cindy goes on dates and takes Hazel with her, which ends in some accidents. Don’t worry, to Cindy dogs matter a lot more than men do.

It is a fun and lighthearted story full of humor and laughter, but also lots of doggy love. The story is told in the form of 123 Haiku poems, which adds to the fun. This short book is above all cute, funny and touching, and I highly recommend it to all dog lovers.

My name is Thomas Wikman. I am a software/robotics engineer with a background in physics. I am currently retired. I took early retirement. I am a dog lover, and especially a Leonberger lover, a home brewer, craft beer enthusiast, I’m learning French, and I am an avid reader. I live in Dallas, Texas, but I am originally from Sweden. I am married to Claudia, and we have three children. I have two blogs. The first feature the crazy adventures of our Leonberger Le Bronco von der Löwenhöhle as well as information on Leonbergers. The second blog, superfactful, feature information and facts I think are very interesting. With this blog I would like to create a list of facts that are accepted as true among the experts of the field and yet disputed amongst the public or highly surprising. These facts are special and in lieu of a better word I call them super-facts.

    1. I am very sorry to hear that. Leonberger’s don’t live long, on average 8-10 years, same with most of the very big dogs (Saint Bernard, Newfoundland, Berneiese, etc.). However, 5 years is very short. Our’s lived until two weeks short of 13, which is long for a Leonberger. Perhaps he was unlucky with a disease, cancer or something else?

          1. lol!!! Actually my kitties got their novella first in 2021 before I started writing doggie novellas. It’s called “It’s All About the Ride: Cat Mania.” It’s a hysterically funny novella about a crazy cat lady. She is one of my all-time favorite wacky women characters, because she was so much fun to create. The cat antics in it came from my decades in feral cat rescue and all the crazy things those feral kitties managed to do. This one is published by Alien Buddha Press. The cover is a psychedelic rendition of my gangster cat, Jeremiah. Although he’s not in it because I didn’t have my current cat herd at the time I wrote it.

  10. Charlee: “Where is the cat haiku? We cats demand equal time!”
    Lulu: “What? You were just commenting about cat haikus over at The Mindful Migraine, and you didn’t see us dogs asking for equal time then.”
    Charlee: “Your lack of initiative is not my problem.”

  14. This book sounds like fun! I know I’ll like Cindy who adopted an older shelter dog. I just ordered the book for my kindle. If I like it as much as I suspect I will, I’ll order a paperback for the shelter where I volunteer. Thanks for the review!
