Newly licensed vet Elizabeth Faulkner only needs two things: New clients for her practice and a decent place to live for herself and her disabled little sister. When her sister inherits an old farmhouse in Pinecone Creek, Wisconsin, Elizabeth thinks at least one wish has been granted. But a greedy land developer will stop at nothing to get her land, and her new clients Brent and Luke Callahan, are more interested in a relationship than her vet skills. Brent and Luke have waited years for their forever woman. They know their wait is over once they see Elizabeth. But can she love two men? Can Elizabeth provide a home for her sister before the little girl becomes lost in the foster system? Welcome to Caveman Creek where the men behave a little like Neanderthals when it comes to their women

Fiction Furbaby: Meet Cleo from Finding Home: Caveman Creek Book 1 by Pia Manning @PiaManning @RobsRescues #RLFblog #PetsWhat inspired you to create this character?

I’ve worked with animal rescues in the past-I’ve done everything from washing pet blankets to grant writing. It never ceases to amaze me how dedicated rescue workers are. Elizabeth is a veterinarian, so naturally, she loves animals. She encounters Cleo at a gas station and is told the dog had been hanging around for a week, begging. It didn’t take her long to offer Cleo a home after that. While my furbabies are rescues, half are foundling rescues-they were abandoned and found their way to me. The other half are from humane societies.

What does the main character think about this furbaby?

Cleo is a trusted friend who rides shotgun to most farm calls with Elizabeth.

What does this furbaby eat?

Although Cleo eats kibbled dog food, she’s wouldn’t turn her nose up at table scraps.

What is this furbaby’s natural habitat?

Hmmmm, well they bonded over the front seat of Elizabeth’s truck, but Cleo also likes exploring anything outside and sleeping on the bed at night. At the end of the day, Cleo’s natural habitat is wherever Elizabeth happens to be.

What does this furbaby add to the story?

Joy and love. Cleo finds joy in almost everything. She loves to have her ears scratched, ride in the truck and explore old barns. (Oh the smells!) Even though she was abandoned, Cleo gives unconditional love to Elizabeth. Rescue dogs are big believers in second chances.

About Blondie

This post is called Fiction Furbaby, but perhaps your own pet does not have fur. If you have a pet that has fins, wings, scales, or other features, please tell us about them here.

Which, if any of the pets in your writing are modeled after your own pets? In what way?

In Finding Home, Cleo is modeled after my dog, Blondie. They could be twins they look so much alike! Blondie is a rescue from the local humane society. She had been passed around between different homes within the same family before someone decided they didn’t want her and brought her to the shelter. It took me thirty seconds to fall in love with her.

What do your pets do when you are writing?

Blondie likes to supervise her domain. This means going upstairs and laying down where she can see as much of the living area as possible. My cats like to lay on me somehow. Failing that, they’ll hang out on the back of whatever chair or couch I’m sitting on.

What’s the most unusual pet you ever had?

I’d have to say Mimi, the hedgehog.

Where did you find your pet?

Blondie was a humane society rescue, as was one of my cats. The other two cats were foundling rescues. Belle had taken refuge under some chairs on our deck. She was so sick that I didn’t know if she’d make it. Fortunately, we have a great vet! Frieda showed up during a snowstorm and decided to stick around.

What do you feed your pet?

The cats share a small can of cat food in the morning. They also have dry food available all day. Blondie has one biscuit after our morning walk, and then half a can of dog food mixed with two cups of dry. And we never (lol pfft) give her table scraps!

Describe a toy or favorite item your pet loves.

The cats love anything that moves. And boxes. Blondie has a big stuffed monkey that she carries around. She enjoys making it squeak.
