Love from the Mountains

In 1998 Deborah Burford and her husband David loaded their cars and trailer with their belongings-along with four cats two dogs and one ferret-and departed New Jersey for a new home in the North Georgia mountains. In <i>Love from the Mountains</i> Deborah shares a compilation of her weekly columns originally published in <i>The North Georgia News</i> and <i>The Towns County Herald</i> bringing to life the humorous voices of the animals-both wild and domestic-who share the woods with her.There's a squirrel named Howard who taunts Miss Adventure the cat with unsavory language; there's Mangefur the opossum who develops a taste for high-priced birdseed and Bosley and Cosette the miniature poodles who possess an insatiable appetite for puddle-surfing. Exploring the entertaining world of nature Deborah includes amusing anecdotes about a hungry bear with an eclectic appetite a ferret who likes women's toes and four mutt cats who rely on their patience to torment other animals crazy enough to traipse into their environment.The true animal stories in <i>Love from the Mountains</i> prove that the furry creatures who share our world with us really do have opinions on just about everything we humans do.
