Ellie Adventure Picking Out Puppies (ePub)

I'm Colleen Dougherty and I live in Chandler, Arizona with my husband and our two sons. We have three dogs and a house full of foster dogs, usually a litter of puppies, that we take care of for One Dog Arizona. We are officially a "foster failure" family which means that we have adopted one of the dogs that we were fostering. I don't think the name is fitting since adopting a dog that you've fallen in love with should never be considered a failure!

I enjoy spending time with my family and working with the foster group, One Dog Arizona. We work hard to find homes for the dogs in our care and have foster events so people can come and talk to us about the animals while they meet them and spend time with them. We're sure to carefully select the right families for these animals. Most of the animals have been through a lot and we want to make sure they are safe and loved.

Writing is something that keeps me sane. I need an outlet for my creativity. I love to do anything creative and writing is at the top of the list. While I enjoy writing the Ellie Adventure book(s) I also love to write dark stories as well as adventure stories for middle age kids. Discovering paths that I want to take creatively and then creating and developing characters is so fulfilling. I just love the whole process!

It's really lucky that I married the man that I did because he never tries to slow me down and encourages anything I want to try. He is a great father to our two boys, Ryan (16) and Matty (14) and our many animals. The children are my whole life. They are my favorite people in the world and there is no one I'd rather spend my time with, just these two wonderful kids. I love being a mom:)
