Mel Miskimen was lost when her mother, lover of all things Brett Favre, the baker of apple pies, and her father’s sidekick for over 63 years, died.
She always thought her father, a retired cop who recreated with guns, would die first, so it was a sucker punch to the entire family’s collective gut when her mother passed away.
How was she going to reach out to her father, who loved to hunt and fish, and help him cope?
Seamus. Her 7-year-old totally untrained black Lab was the answer, as described in her new memoir, Sit Stay Heal: How an Underachieving Labrador Won Our Hearts and Brought Us Together.
Sit Stay Heal is an intergenerational story of one Boomer daughter, her dad and her dog, reconnecting in a sometimes hilarious, and sometimes heartbreaking way.
