Meet author Caroline Coile Ph.D. who says:
I have 13 dogs, all salukis and all house dogs. Sometimes I think they will drive me insane, but I would also go insane without them. They include Best in Show and #1 ranked show and obedience dogs (well, I guess I did get some of them to mind me once in awhile) as well as those who will never see a show ring or win anything except my heart. They would be very upset if I didn't include their names here, so here goes: Hypatia, Sissy, Dixie, Savannah, Wolfman, Stinky, Jeepers, Junior. Beanie, Kitty, Omen, Minka, and Isis. My "kennel" name, Baha, is named after my very first saluki.
