\"Cover-6-800\"<\/a>Cozy Tales<\/em> tells the life story of my Cozy, the very special\u00a0Newfoundland dog who chose me to be her companion in life. \u00a0I wrote\u00a0Cozy Tales<\/em>\u00a0a few years ago after which it sat languishing on my hard drive. I’ve always felt that Cozy’s story should be shared, so I’m doing it for free. No ads, no spam, no BS: just true stories of a marvelous dog and how she changed my life.<\/p>\n

If you like it, all I ask in return is that you share it on your favorite social media page. The world needs to know of Cozy and her wonderful tales.<\/p>\n

Here is a list of the chapters in order. There are over 50 chapters, so come back often!<\/p>\n
