Deer Aint Peggy: Letters of Advice and Life's Observations from a 14-year-old Basset Hound
Sherlock Perry Blanchard is a fourteen-year-old Basset Hound.  He has lived in Florida, Georgia, Texas and North Carolina, and has traveled extensively in most of the Southern states.   Sherlock's original dream was to become a TV repairman.  He signed up for a TV repair correspondence course.  In the first workbook exercise, the instructions were to "grasp the reiterater between your thumb and forefinger and gently pull over and out."  Lacking an opposable thumb, he grabbed the reiterater with his teeth, and it shocked the zippy-tee-doo-dah out of him.  He gave up TV repair on the spot (no pun intended) and made the fateful decision to become a writer and philosopher.   His writings have concentrated on solving humankind's irritating problems; recording unusual observations of human and pet behavior; and journaling his many misadventures. OTHER LITERARY WORKS:  Sherlock has a large collection of letters he has written to friends and relatives.  This is his first published compilation.
