Jon Katz, author of A Dog Year,has more stories to tell from his home in upstate New York,Bedlam Farm. The farm is a cross between a working farm and a hobby.
His beloved dogs are his constant companions, —especially Rosie, the border collie who runs the place. There is also Izzy, another border collie with a troubled past who is Katz’s “soulmate.” Not to mention two Labradors, Pearl and Clementine. His goal is to achieve a balance —of nature, of humans, of animals. His struggle to attain this is entertaining reading e. g., Jeanette the donkey, who arrived seemingly overweight but in reality pregnant!
Katz’s storytelling ability is charming yet he has unique views about
animal life that provide many surprises.
