Mellie's Sunshiny Birthday

Steve and Annette Stoner had a wonderful fur baby named Mellie. We always wanted to write a book about Mellie, so after she passed we started writing in honor of her. Our daughters, Amanda George and Rachel Stoner, are very much a part of these stories. Amanda is our illustrator and Rachel actually found Mellie and named her "Mellow" simply because she was such a gentle puppy. Our girls have inspired us to share these stories and have added their own memories.
