MUTT TALK: Meet Top Dog Oliver from "The Fast and the Furriest" by Heather Weidner


We’ve turned the blog over to the Mutts. The stars of To Fetch a Scoundrel, Four Fun “Tails” of Scandal and Murder interview their canine counterparts. Ruckus, pictures on the right, was the model dog for Heather's story. Read on to learn more about this handsome fellow.

Tell us your name, breed, and which story you appear in. My name is Oliver, and I’m in Heather Weidner’s “The Fast and the Furriest.”

Give us four words that describe you and your personality. Loyal, Dedicated, Focused, Protector.

What is your job in the story? I am the Director of Security at the Amelia Raceway. I keep watch on the office and make sure everyone behaves.

Tell us about your favorite thing to do. I love to go to work with my friend Cassidy. I love snacks. Pizza is my favorite. And I enjoy long walks around the racetrack.

What do you always help your human with? I am security at the racetrack. Nobody gets by me. I have a nose for sniffing out trouble.

What is your favorite food/snack? I’m not too picky. I guest my favorite are steak, pizza, and cheese.

What is something you won’t touch with a ten-foot pole? There’s not much I won’t touch. I’ve very curious, especially if I think it’s food.

Where is your special place for napping? I have a bed in the office at the racetrack. I hang out there most days.

What do you do when your humans aren’t home? The entire couch is mine when Cassidy isn’t home.

Do you have a secret vice? (Don’t worry, we won’t tell your humans…) I like to drain cans and cups that are left in the office trashcan. Iced coffee is my favorite.

INTERVIEW WITH RICHARD VERLANDER By Rosie Shomaker

The Rest of the World Could Learn a lot  From a Day in Elementary School Rosie: Hello, Richard. You and your wife Kathy have traveled the road from your roles as rural Virginia parents to that of parents of two professional baseball athletes. Your older son Justin plans to continue his MLB career once we reach our “new normal” in dealing with the COVID-19 pandemic. Your first book, Rocks Across the Pond (2012), is a beautiful, grand book.
