What happens when a woman with more than 35 years of experience with Tennessee Walking Horses decides that mules might offer the easy, trouble-free equine life? Rose Miller soon discovers that mules have opinions of their own!
Mules, Mules and More Mules is a collection of true, sometimes hilarious and sometimes frustrating stories about Rose's adventures with these amazing equine hybrids. If you simply love horses and mules, you'll enjoy sharing her journey as she learns that the mule of today can be a very different animal from the old-time mule.
Jacks (male donkeys), some gaited and some trotters, bred to superior mares of many breeds can produce beautiful, talented offspring that excel in many disciplines. But are mules really stubborn and opinionated? Do they have memories like elephants? Are they less prone to illness and accidents? And do they really have that wonderful, dog-like ability to bond with their people?
Rose explores all of this through her own experiences—and has plenty of stories to tell along the way!
If you are thinking about buying a mule, you owe it to yourself to read this book first. If you already own mules, read it for the laughs. And if you simply love equines, come along for the ride!

Why would a Tennessee Walking Horse refuse to trot? Because a true Tennessee Walking Horse has a smooth, natural gait that is meant to replace the trot with a comfortable, gliding ride.
But not all Tennessee Walking Horses are created equal. Some pace, some trot a little, and some have that wonderful, naturally smooth gait that makes the breed so special.
In The Horse That Wouldn't Trot, Rose Miller shares her journey as a breeder and lifelong lover of Tennessee Walking Horses. Her goal was to breed horses with the naturally smooth, easy-to-ride gaits that made the Tennessee Walker famous.
Along the way, Rose explores the fascinating history and development of the Tennessee Walking Horse and how it became a distinct American breed, much as the American Quarter Horse and the Morgan became recognized breeds of their own.
But breeding a truly smooth-gaited horse isn't as simple as choosing two beautiful horses and hoping for the best. Rose shares the challenges, surprises, successes, and lessons she learned while breeding and raising Tennessee Walking Horses.
Eventually, Rose found an exceptional stallion named Praise Hallelujah. He became both her show horse and her breeding stallion and, most importantly, produced naturally gaited Tennessee Walking Horses.
Filled with horses, breeding, history, training, and the personal experiences of someone who spent decades trying to produce the smooth-gaited horse she loved, The Horse That Wouldn't Trot is a fascinating true story for Tennessee Walking Horse enthusiasts, horse lovers, breeders, and anyone curious about this distinctive American breed.

ALWAYS HAVE A DOG IN YOUR LIFE — THIRD EDITION
What happens when losing a beloved dog breaks your heart? Do you close your heart so you will never have to feel that pain again—or do you leave it open for another dog who may need you?
Rose Miller's heart thinks differently.
Always Have a Dog in Your Life began as Little Miss Muffitt: Guardian of My Heart, the story of Rose's beloved Miniature Schnauzer. It later became Dogs, Dogs and More Dogs as Rose added more true stories about the dogs who shared her life. This third edition, with its new title and additional stories, takes the heart of the book one step further.
Some people say, "I just can't go through that again." Others avoid adopting an older dog because they know their time together may be shorter. Rose understands the pain, but she believes that when we keep our hearts open, sometimes another dog finds us—one who needs YOU.
That lesson came home to Rose after the death of Muffitt, a beloved Miniature Schnauzer who had been part of her life for nearly seventeen years. Rose was heartbroken. She wasn't looking for another dog when she encountered Maggie, an older Miniature Schnauzer rescued from a puppy mill. Somehow, Rose knew that Muffitt had led her to Maggie.
Maggie needed a home. Rose needed Maggie.
The stories in this book are filled with the humor, challenges, personalities, adventures, and unconditional affection that make dogs such extraordinary companions. But they also explore something every dog lover eventually faces: how to say goodbye without saying goodbye to love itself.
If you have ever loved and lost a dog, wondered whether you could open your heart again, rescued an older dog, or simply believe that dogs sometimes find their way to the people who need them, this book is for you.
Always Have a Dog in Your Life is a warm, entertaining, and heartfelt tribute to the dogs who change our lives—and to keeping our hearts open for the next one.
