Picking Potato
by Olivia Lavender


What will entice a grumpy dog to get off the couch and go out to play? Join Norman as his humans take him on a road trip that will shake up his life and hopefully get him out of his slump. This story is based of the real tale of when the author surprised her dog Norman with a furry new friend.


Olivia Lavender is a former teacher and current stay at home mom to her three boys and her fur-son Norman, from Sylvan Lake, Alberta. She used to make her students giggle with stories all about her dogs Norman and Potato and is excited to finally write down the story about how they first met.
