If you are a regular reader/follower of my blog,
you know that I have furry backyard friend, a chipmunk.
I (well my mom) named him FRED, derived from the word friend.
Two years ago, a poem inspired by him was posted here.
Since then, a permanent space on my blog sidebar was created to showcase the poem, My Chipmunk Friend.
I know many of you (my doggie bloggie friends) do not like or get along with your furry backyard friends.
Well, I Do … I like Fred, the chipmunk, my furry backyard friend.
I always have so much Golden Fun chasing him.
There he is … Do you see him?
I just finished chasing him
and he’s saying good-bye to me.
Playing chase with Fred, the chipmunk is
one of my favorite backyard adventure.
one of my favorite backyard adventure.
It’s been a year since my mom thought of creating a children’s book about my backyard adventure with Fred, the chipmunk.
Well, in honor of my 10th Barkday year,
my mom decided to pursue it and she’s almost finish.
Here’s a sneak peak of page 1 …
What do you think?
Mom is hoping to get the book published and
printed by next month (just in time for my blogversary).
It will be available here on my blog, my shop-
Sugar’s Paw House and via Amazon.

If you are interested, you can pre-order a copy.
The first 10 will have my Golden Pawprints and
a special gift (geared for the readers of the book, 3-6 years old).
Send us an email.

I think it's very sweet that you're friends with the chipmunk! I'm sure he really looks forward to seeing you- just as much as you look forward to seeing him!
Congrats on the book- I want to write a book- although it wouldn't be a childrens book!
Sugar what a delightful cover on your soon to be first book!!
Congrats to Mom for working hard and seeing her dream come true.
Hugs from your BFFF,

OMD, you have a cool furiend. And a book soon to be published. I have some furiends like that too, except they are squirrels. They love playing chase with me too–I'm working on my very own version of "squirrel-tree-dance"!
Sugar's Mom, you are so talented!! I just showed the cover to my husband, he loved it!! Wants to know how you did the drawings, computer aided or drawing you upload? Really adorable, Good luck with this great project!!
Very impressive Miss Sugar. You and your mom are so creative.
I can't wait to see it when it comes out
Bert
Sugar, we can hardly wait to see your book-congrats to you and your Mom! We'll be happy to do a post promoting yoru book if you'd like.
We'll make sure to do a thank you blog post upon receiving those treats-and let you know directly when we receive them-that's the least we could do to thank you:-)
And please know how much we appreciate your continued support of our blog with your comments-we always look forward to them!
Hey Sugar!
Wow, you're a very sweet girl to only chase Fred. I always chase, then bash if I can. Fred's pretty cool for a monk, so I might cut him a break. Anyway, great idea for a mini two-legger book! Looks good!
Grr and Woof,
Sarge, COP
Oh Sugar, we will absolutey need one of these! Mom loves taking dog books for the kids at school to read to us. Definitely reserve one for us: agapepuppylove@gmail.com .
We are really excited for you!!
AROOOOF!

And, tell your mom congrats on the book 🙂

How wonderful! A book about Sugar and his buddy Fred! It's so great to have ideas and dreams, but then to actually follow through is so wonderful! Congratulations!
Sugar, that looks like a great book about you and your friend Fred! We don't have any little ones around but our mommy would probably like one of those books for herself! 🙂
What a special way of honoring you Sugar!
Licks,
Ruthie
Is you sure dat chipmunk isn't a Chihuahua in a costume???
Mom will have to watch for that book to come out and get a copy for the grand bipeds!! They just turned 4 (in pee-ple years) so dat is jus' right!
:o)
How exciting for you and your Mom, Sugar!!! I wish I knew someone to give the book to, because I know it'll be a great addition to any children's library!!!
Super cool and so exciting. Hooray for your mom's wonderful idea
How pawsome Sugar! I always knew that you was a star!
woos, Tessa
Little Bit is with you on chasing that squirrel. I think that's why Little Bit likes you so much is because you two are so alike.
Way cool on your moms new book. We'll be standing by for that.
Have a woof woof day and remember you are being featured tomorrow on Awww…Mondays @ https://www.awwwmonday.com/ 🙂
That is going to be the bestest book ever Sugar!!

How cool is that! We have a squirrel too, but he just sits in the trees and scolds us.
My Mom and I think the book is a wonderful idea — You and Fred will be famous.
Sounds like a very good book! I love the cover and would be happy do a book review of it on our book blog.
Well done, Sugar!
Congratulations to your momma for putting the book together – it's hard work, don't we know?!
Anyway, I wanted to wish you the best with the publication of your book. I know it is going to make some little hearts very happy indeed.

Congrats on the book. You have so many followers I'm sure the fur will fly.
We want one!

Cool! I must have missed that post. I like the illustrations.
This is exciting!! The drawings are wonderful. I also think the storyline is great for children to be accepting of their friends maybe being a little different than themselves.
