About the Author:
GINNY TATA-PHILLIPS Although relatively new to haiku, Ginny has been writing since the days of How I Spent My Summer Vacation. She advanced through school essays to term papers, letters to the editor, newsletter and magazine articles. She has been a dog lover for almost 50 years; a dog owner for 40 and involved in dog-related businesses for 10. Ginny and her husband ran a successful doggy daycare center and boarding facility in California. She now lives in Central Florida with 5 rescued dogs and assorted birds, fish, reptiles and amphibians. She currently composes while pet sitting and dog walking (5-7-5, 5-7-5) and rushes home to write down her real-life-inspired dogku. DIANE GRINDOL Diane received her first dog at age 8 and started pet sitting at age 10. In fifth grade she was introduced to haiku poetry, and loved it. She has become inspired to revisit its simple, challenging format again as an adult. Diane is currently a full time pet sitter. She has owned dogs, including a rescued Briard she showed in obedience. She does freelance photography of pets and their people. Diane lives in Pacific Grove, California, with a flock of cockatiels, a blue-headed pionus parrot and 2 guinea pigs.
