When her beloved golden retriever, Brady, passed away, she felt the need to share their story by celebrating his life rather than mourning his death. Brady was a certified therapy pet who had the unique gift of knowing who needed his unconditional love. Lipstick on His Forehead and Tears in His Fur: Adventures of a Therapy Dog recounts the amazing connection between Ms. Clancy and Brady and the wonderful work they did together.
Ms. Clancy’s second book, Charlie-B, is based on her first book, but the story is adapted for children. Well illustrated in bright colors and filled with easily understood rhymes, Charlie-B is an early reader with a life lesson in each paragraph. It’s a story about the joy of getting a puppy and teaching him about people and the world, just as you would teach a child. Memories of your own childhood puppy will surface as you read Charlie-B.
Ms. Clancy’s ability to see humor in her animals shines through once again in this book, My Furry, Four-Footed Friends: And Other Creatures Great and Small. Concentrating on her cats and dogs, she cites their differences and similarities in the way they pursue and achieve similar goals. You will smile, laugh, cry, and smile again as she takes you through her life. This is a delightful read for anyone who loves animals. The Q and A with her dog and cat is not to be missed!
DJ Clancy lives in Santa Barbara, California, with her husband.
