Katie Up and Down the Hall~By Glenn Plaskin
The True Story of How One Dog Turned Five Neighbors into a Family
A personal memoir by bestselling author and celebrity journalist Glenn Plaskin, KATIE is a moving story about a man who discovers the true meaning of family after adopting a cocker spaniel puppy. Through the magnetic personality of his mischievous dog, the author soon makes powerful connections with several of his down-the-hall neighbors in a high-rise located in the unique Battery Park City neighborhood of Lower Manhattan. First, Katie trots into the lives of Pearl and Arthur, a warm-hearted elderly couple just a few doors down from Glenn. Later, John, a single Dad, and his rambunctious young son, Ryan, also move in and are seduced by Katie's charms.
All of their lives are profoundly changed as they are transformed from neighbors to friends to family, with Pearl as matriarch. The motherless boy finds a "Granny"; his Dad inherits a mother, Glenn discovers a confidante. Set in New York City, we witness nearly sixteen years of antics and family adventures spanning Hollywood high times, bad health, accidents, blustery winters, even the terrors of 9/11. Through it all, the family clings to each other, sharing a deep bond that give each comfort, support and security.
Based upon a widely-read article in Family Circle, here is an unforgettable story about the love that makes a family-one that transcends the hard realities of time, tragedy, and inevitable loss.

ReplyDeleteMaybe not cute, but here's a funny story about my dog:
ReplyDeleteMy dog ate my mom's diamond engagement ring, which had fallen off her dresser. No one knew until I cleaned up after him during a walk and saw something sparkly. Eek!

#1 My cat, Monty, (see pic) has a tendency to be a wee bit impatient. He expects his breakfast by a certain time in the morning and on those rare mornings when I sleep in, he stands by my side of the bed and meows and meows and meows. I mean this cat is persistent! And if that doesn't get me up, he'll jump up on the dresser, walk to the window and rattle the metal blinds until I finally get up! Needless to say, he has me trained! :-)
