It's all about Dotti

Sue Burkhard, one of the fine people on my greyhound listservs, has a dog named Dotti Hi Socks (aka, Snotti Dotti, Naughty Dotti, and the list goes on). The antics of this beleaguered owner and her incorrigible dog have entertained us on the list for years. Now Dotti's stories are available in paperback for the unsuspecting general public.

An article in the South Bend Tribute tells the story of how Dotti came to destroy--er, enrich Sue's life, why she's donating all profits to Animal Aid of Southwestern Michigan, and a lovely picture of Dotti in a hat to hide her intimidating ears.

Stories include "Dotti Hi Socks Ate My Bedroom," "Dotti Hi Socks Ate My W-2," and "Dotti Hi Socks is Trying to Kill Me."

My favorite is "Dotti Hi Socks Stole My Date," in which we find out how she acquired the nickname "Dotti Ho Socks."
