In "Itching to Love," Shelley Fraser Mickle tells the story of her relationship with the dog next-door

Book cover for "Itching to Love"
Resolve Editions

Shelley Fraser Mickle is an award-winning author and former storyteller for NPR’s “Morning Edition.” Her new book is “Itching to Love: The Story of a Dog” where she tells us about her decade long relationship with Buddy the mutt next-door who adopted her as his person.

It is told in Shelley’s style, and it is a tale filled with a lot of side trips from everything from AI, to pumping gas, and even a lasagna recipe.
