Sadie Saves

"Hi everyone, it's me Sadie!  Today I want to introduce you my newest canine friend "Cyclops."  He's a four-year-old short-haired male/neutered Chihuahua mix who's hoping he'll be adopted soon. Cyclops is a spunky little guy with a great big personality and boundless energy - he's, always ready to go and loves having a good play session, but also loves to wind down getting lots of loving tummy rubs. He would do best in a family with children over the age of seven, and with no other pets because he enjoys being the center of attention and has lots of love to give. Cyclops is waiting for his forever family to visit him and get to know him. He currently is available for adoption through the Second Chance Animal Shelter, East Brookfield, Massachusetts.  His animal ID number is 28633211.  Please, share his picture and story with your family, friends and social networks, and together we will find him a new home. I thank you. Love, Sadie"







A message from author Jeff T. Bauer ~

"Sadie, the fictional talking dog, and her fictional family of intelligent canines are based on real-life rescued Chihuahuas that my wife and I have adopted over the years.  Anybody who lives with a dog realizes how smart they really are and even if they can't speak Doglish there's certainly love and intelligence in their beautiful eyes.  So many animals, dogs and cats, are discarded or euthanized every year because there's simply too many of them out there and not enough loving human homes to adopt them,  Dogs and cats totally rely on the humans that domesticated them to survive.  I hope through Sadie's stories that more people will come to appreciate the wonder and responsibility we have to welcome these animals into our lives or at least help keep the unwanted population lower by spay and neuter.


Sadie Saves is serious business spoken by a cute fictional character.  Just sit back and imagine if there truly was a spokesdog for all dog-and-cat kind.  Wouldn't you rather save an animal at a shelter that's probably looking at a shortened lifespan if it isn't adopted?  Who knows, maybe the next adopted dog will turn out to be the real-life speaking Sadie."

Sadie Saves: Special Edition II

"Hi everyone, it’s me Sadie wishing you a splendid Saturday, and asking for your help in finding a ‘forever family’ for my newest canine friend, Woofie. She’s a sweet a Pomeranian/Chihuahua mix who is available for adoption through the Animal Aid Foundation here in Tallahassee, Florida.  Her unfortunate background is all too familiar, as she was rescued from a puppy mill where she was forced to breed and live under deplorable conditions. The kind and caring staff at Animal Aid have given Woofie a great deal of love and rehabilitation, which included bathing, treatment for hookworms, spaying and bringing all her vaccines up-to-date.



Woofie says, ‘My life is so much better now because of the kindness of my human caretakers here at Animal Aid, but I want to find a family that I can call my own. Please, share my story with your family, friends and social networks, as I hope someone will want to visit me here at Animal Aid, and hopefully adopt me. Thank you, Woofie.”’

Bastille Day with Tais Toi

“Hi, it’s me Sadie here. My cyber pal, the beautiful and famous, Tais Toi, a/k/a Jolie, who is a member of the Renaissance performance troop, The Trouvères is checking in while on her world tour to report on her newest location, Paris, France.




Tais Tói says, ‘Bonjour my dear friend and fans! We’re celebrating Bastille Day in the magnificent City of Light (La Ville Lumière.) We’re having après-midi, le déjeuner at a quaint outdoor cafe in Montmartre. Chef Pierre has prepared a delicious soupe de bœuf for me, while daddy Michael and mommy Grace are enjoying Brie served with a crisp baguette and some Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Later today, we’ll walk all those wonderful calories off with a stroll through The Tuileries Garden.  Then tonight, the pièce de résistance – an evening dinner cruise on the river Seine, followed by an astounding fireworks display. I’ve put on my best beret for the event – what do you think, is it me? Well, my dears, I must run. Au revoir mon ami. <3 Tais Toi”’

The Cavern Kings (Volume 1) by Jeff Bauer (Nov 26, 2012)

(36) Reviews/Ranks 4.7 Stars  Available in Paperback or Kindle Formats

Josh Jensen is the self-perceived master of the underwater world and knows no fear. Until he almost drowns scuba diving with his friends in the calm crystal clear waters of a beautiful North Florida spring on a warm sunny day. Rattled by the wakeup call and unencumbered by wisdom, he decides to pursue training to master the cold water-filled dark places beneath a ceiling of impenetrable rock. Soon he and his divemates realize this sort of class isn’t just an easy lap around the pool. Their overbearing and harsh instructor challenges them to come to terms with life and death with only seconds of air to spare in claustrophobic passages. Josh has to juggle the pending sunset of one romantic relationship with the faintest glimpse of another, irate parents and a troubled boss ready to fire him. A diving tragedy stuns and deeply saddens Josh and he questions whether diving in caverns is too dangerous and even if he should continue diving at all. Dealing with the loss, he discovers a link to a diving fatality that estranged an experienced team of cave explorers in a deep Mexican cave years ago. New discoveries heal old wounds and bring enemies together as Josh struggles to find meaning in death. Few works of fiction capture the essence of cave diving and scuba literature is cluttered with many tedious non-fiction accounts of diving triumphs. Sprinkled with dramatic and realistic dive sequences penned by a real-life cave diving instructor, THE CAVERN KINGS is an adventure filled with dangers above and below the waterline that any reader will enjoy.

In the sequel to "Sadie Sapiens", Sadie, a tiny Chihuahua who’s learned how to communicate, enjoys a tight bond with her pack of humans at the Institute for Non-Human Intelligence.

My Audiobook…


Written by: Jeff T. Bauer
Narrated by: Paula Slade
Length 10 hrs and 51 mins
Unabridged Audiobook
Release Date: 11-18-14
Publisher: Jeff T. Bauer
Whispersync for Voice-ready

  WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING ABOUT MY AUDIOBOOK

"Plenty of depth in one little dog! This is not your average 'talking dog' story. While SADIE SAPIENS certainly has its cute and humorous moments, the book explores a much broader and deeper range of emotional and intellectual territory than its whimsical premise might imply. Super-smart Chihuahua Sadie and her teenage human companion Emma brave their way through a roller coaster ride of exciting and harrowing experiences. Many of their adventures center around Sadie’s remarkable talents, but just as often the drama arises from the everyday tragedies and triumphs of real life. Both heroines emerge from their respective traumas stronger, wiser, and with a greater sense of self. Their journey is a heartwarming one, with a dog/human 'pack' bond like no other."


"Sadie sheds light on so many important aspects on human and canine relationships thru a unique storyline that will capture your heart, mind and spirit. This story addresses important moments of death (both of pets and humans), animal cruelty, humane treatment of pets and the not-so humane, animal shelters & foster caregivers... just to name a few. "

Dog Handler


“Hi, it’s me Sadie here!  Who says classical music has gone to the dogs? 
 

Once in awhile something unusual happens during a live classical music performance that patrons will talk about for years to come. It might be an exceptionally fine interpretation of a classical standard, which causes the audience to rise to their feet in astonished devotion. Then again, it could be something totally different and not ever witnessed before – such is the latter in this case. On Sunday, June 14, 2009, the Hampshire Choral Society, whose mission is, ‘to create beautiful music, and to have fun doing it,' certainly made good on their goal! The society was giving a lovely performance of Handel’s Messiah, (one of my favorites) when an unexpected visitor entered stage left, and was deftly dispatched elsewhere by Ms. Anita Anderson Cooper, and with very good humor (I must say) by conductor Allan Taylor.

 


You will not believe your eyes! This is a first that will make you smile!  Love, Sadie”’
