The Geri Sparkles (it is pronounced Jur-ee Spaw-cools) Report is the story of an abandoned San Antonio puppy and her daily drama as a foster puppy learning how to make it in the weird human world with so many no no rules.
As told from the perspective of Geri herself, this is her daily diary of what a foster puppy goes through to learn how to be a good girl and get adopted. Anyone who has loved and raised a puppy will find humor in her tails. The target audience for this book is grownups with a good sense of humor. Misspellings are intended as Geri was only 8 weeks old when she started her diary. From learning about potty training to going to the vet, Geri’s battle against her Foster Mommy is a hoot.
The author is an active animal advocate that writes bios for adoptable puppies, dogs, kittens and cats in their own words for local rescue groups. Although the stories are meant to be silly and fun, they also draw attention to the huge issue of pet abandonment in San Antonio, Texas, and the surrounding area.
