by Lynn Ruth Miller, 2001

THOUGHTS WHILE WALKING THE DOG is a selection of the best columns written over the past three years in a continuing series for The Pacifica Tribune, Pacifica, CA. These columns touch on topics that concern us all: women's potential in our changing world, the idiosyncrasies of society and the challenges created by advancing years. Each topic is illustrated with a touch of nostalgia addressed with humor in a vignette drawn from the author's checkered past.

The chosen pieces have received excellent and enthusiastic response from local readers and now at last the finest and most moving have been gathered into one volume with an introduction by the editor of THE PACIFICA TRIBUNE and the man who gave these columns a home, Chris Hunter.
Reviews of "Thoughts While Walking the Dog"

Reading the slice-of-life stories in Thoughts While Walking the Dog is like walking into your favorite village bakery and sampling slice after slice of a giddy assortment of scrumptious pastries. Lynn Ruth Miller’s sometimes quirky, always compelling, and mostly true tales are witty, wise, and simply wonderful.“

“I got Thoughts While Walking the Dog, and have read a few stories.  I laughed and cried about the little girl who forgot to pray for a fence!  It's great.  I have a friend going in for surgery tomorrow and yours is the perfect recovery book.”
