Chancey's Overture

Book excerpt: Five years have passed since Chancey made his appearance in Taking Chancey, and many things have happened—some good, some bad, and some ugly. This is the continuation of his story. Chancey is a bit older now and diabetic, and Hank and Marla have to give him two shots a day. He also has to eat high-fiber foods, he’s gone blind, and he’s adjusting to spending more time inside. But perhaps the biggest change is that Hank and Marla are selling their house and moving to an Over 55 Active retirement apartment project in a different city. Even with all this going on, Chancey still enjoys everyday adventures, including getting pollen all over his body when he spends too much time sniffing flowers on a walk and apartment hunting with his owners. Look at life through the eyes of the mischievous and loving dog navigating his later years with his aging owners in a new environment, a delightful continuation of Chancey’s adventures.
