SHOUT OUT! to Laura Stamps, Pet Advocate

It’s not every day that I shout out someone’s birthday, but here we are. Laura Stamps, who I consider the ultimate pet advocate, and fun-loving poet and writer, has reached a new year! As some of you may know, she is a cat mom, specializing in helping rescue cats. She has a senior feline household and loves them up on the regular.

I also happen to know that she is a dog person, as well. And she celebrates this with her advocacy work.

I met Laura through her doggie books where she shares stories with prose poetry. If you want to find humor in your life, I highly recommend Laura’s books. Full disclosure: we have published three of Laura’s books but have read more. They are addictive. They are family friendly. They are educational and entertaining, all in one.

Here is Laura’s latest creation and you may want to grab a copy for your favorite person. Laura will even autograph a copy for you.
