Description:
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...!

Review Quotes:
"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!"
