Something about the odor nudged a memory from his mind, of a time when life held promise, when he’d fully embraced the naïve enthusiasm that came with puppyhood.

In life, she gave Jerry Palmer hell. In death, she gave the devil hell. Now she's back and raising hell....

Written by Ralph M. Flores, illustrated by family and friends, and published posthumously, these 13 fables, adapted for audio, are fractured in that some are spin-offs on Aesop's Fables and Navajo coyote tales, but all show topical twists unique to Ralph's wry, indulgent humor. The moral at the end of each fable, if we didn't realize sooner, alerts us to the animal characters that are stand-ins for human fools.
