Meg Scott is a former Texas newspaper reporter, college professor and dog lover. She has raised 12 dogs of her own and spent over 300 volunteer hours working with small dogs and puppies with SPCAFlorida in Lakeland, Florida. Although she has written for many years and been published in newspapers and magazines, this is her first children's book. It's about Calamity Jane, her most adorable and rambunctious dog who always (and accidentally) found her way into trouble in one form or another. In this book she portrays Calamity as she was--a "girlie" dog with ribbons and bows--who tried to do right and often failed. In this one, she is saved by Grandma, of whom she says, "Grandma could fix it," Calamity knew, "because grandmas can fix anything. That's what grandmas do."
