About this ebook

This poignant, heart-warming novel explains author Jolene Taylor Jacobs' true-life experience and struggle with Bipolar Disorder in the aftermath of her son's suicide. Jolene is a true survivor, describing her spiral into deep depression. Despite the support of her husband and Group meetings, it was not until she found 'Brandy', a sweet Cockapoo she adopted through a local Animal Shelter, that she discovered a way to voice her frustrations and pain through an online blog... told through the eyes of a dog as she watches her owner and describes her actions through a somewhat egotistical and humorous lens. For Brandy, it's all about her... and the ultimate goal of 'Another biscuit, please'. At times disturbing, this novel is a work of hope and ultimate victory.
From the author: “As part of my therapy, I was told journaling would be helpful to track my mood swings. I couldn’t face the idea of sitting down each day and writing, “I feel like crap today, just like yesterday. And tomorrow’s not looking much better.” So, I decided to write a blog from my dog’s viewpoint as a Therapy Dog, which would document how I felt each day without feeling like I was just complaining.
I think the more we know about bipolar disorder, the better we can help ourselves who have it and those around us who are dealing with it.
I hope you enjoy reading my story. I hope it helps you or someone you love.”
From Brandy: “Assignment:
Rescue Dog to the Rescue
My name is Brandy and my current assignment is to love, nurture and help a woman through the loss of her son (suicide), her severe depression and bipolar disorder. Her name is Jolene, and she got me from the Animal Rescue Center. Follow me and I'll tell you our story.

Love at first sight
It was just another day at the Animal Rescue Center. People came by and talked to me, then moved on. I think most want a puppy, not a mature, talented and self-confident dog like me. Probably they are threatened by my accomplishments. Nevertheless, I did my best to be sociable, hoping for a new home. Then this nice lady came by and talked gently to me. She seemed so fragile, like she could cry at any moment. I was immediately drawn to her. She needed the nurturing only I could give. Now, I just needed to convince her I was the one dog she needed.

Author

Jolene Jacobs

Ever since taking her first Creative Writing Class over thirty years ago, Jolene Jacobs has enjoyed to write. She got great pleasure putting the pen to paper, and telling stories about children and animals. Their innocence and ability to give love without asking for anything in return, proved to her that there was something good in the world – something that made all the struggles worth it. Being very modest and humble, Jolene found that the one subject she had problems with was writing about herself. That was where Brandy came in. The loveable Cockapoo gave her a way to tell about her amazing road back to recovery, without the drudgery. All of a sudden, she was able to pour her heart out, recapping the highs and lows through her “Therapy Dog’s” eyes. Jolene has lived the last 14 years in Southwest Florida, with her husband, Scott. She enjoys Gardening, Scrap Booking, Singing Karaoke, and spending time with friends. Both she and her husband enjoy the laid-back lifestyle, and doing what they can to help each other make each moment count!
