Writing the first book in my series,  "Not Like the Others-Harley's Story"  began as a love project for my beloved fur kid Harley. His diagnosis of diabetes and later blindness at first seemed insurmountable but we  learned to adjust and live life to the fullest . Ultimately, I realized we had a greater,  valuable story  to share. In book one, Harley shares his own story including  adoption (rescue), diagnosis of diabetes and blindness , living a full life, and  the meaning of unconditional love . Denise grew up loving all animals. As an adult, she developed a passion for rescues. In addition to writing, she volunteers for local animal shelters, works as a Family Nurse Practitioner, and is a mom to four humans-and a dog. They are a forever family through adoption which all started when she rescued Harley.   In "Not Like the Others" you are introduced to Harley, her rescued Yorkshire terrier. He will learn the meaning of a forever family and unconditional love.   How do you talk to your child about their newly diagnosed illness? How do you tell your child their pet has an illness like diabetes? What can you do to explain loving unconditionally? The answer is "Harley's Story".   Denise believes pets teach us important life lessons. "Not Like the Others" is the first book in her series "Life Lessons from Fur Friends".
