A Dog Named Saturday
Coffee Clutch got its name from the blog posts I wrote for years from the barn sitting enjoying my morning coffee with my mare, dogs, kitties and chickens. Folks really enjoyed them. Coffee Clutch is more than a newsletter. It’s a visit, it’s information, it’s fun, it’s musings, barn talk, writing talk, bird talk, horse talk and faith thoughts. And of course, it’s all the news about A DOG NAMED SATURDAY, old new and coming soon.
I’ll share some of my works in progress, upcoming publications, and more. Folks enjoy “The Old Man on the Porch, and Grandpop too, so they’ll be dropping in.

Posture and Locomotion

TESTING FOR TITERS IN HORSES & DOGS
Howdy Friends! I was asked recently about “testing for titers.” The best way to explain the truth about it for me, was to go back through my notes from interviews I’d done with immunologists and veterinarians. The very best, and most concise explanation comes from an...

Grandpop, the Reporter and Firewood
Howdy Friends! I knew I was in for a treat when I saw the tiny white car with the local newspaper's logo on the door parked halfway between the barn and house. Every once in a while they'd send an intern out to have a chat with Grandpop and write a story. I found them...
DAMAGE DONE TURNING A HORSE INCORRECTLY

The Sun Woke Up Early (A Saturday Blurb)
Howdy Friends! Like most mornings the sun woke up early, and Saturday noticed. As he always did. Unless it was one of those mornings when the sun was clouds. Then sometimes Saturday noticed the sun was late. “The sun always knows when it wakes up,” Saturday told...
