THE PUPPIES WHO LOVE ART written by my daughter Lisa Wettstein and illustrated by me. It tells the story of two dachshunds who love art, but can’t go to the downtown museum with their owners. While their people are gone, their Fairy Dog Mother appears and whisks them to a special dogs only art museum – the Dog Gone Good Art Museum – where they see 24 parodies of famous masterpieces by such artists as Andy Warhol, Picasso and van Gogh… but instead of people in the paintings, there are dachshunds. They love it, and then are whisked home in time to greet their humans returning from their museum. It’s a very clever little illustrated book and only $15.95.

Last night I performed with Odyssey Storytelling group downtown at the Club Congress in the old Congress Street Hotel.

The theme was “Quitting, Moving On” and I told the story of  how in 1979 when I had a four-pack a day habit and packs were only .35 cents I quit smoking with a week of aversion therapy via electric shocks!

Sherie and Lisa and Gillian and Peter were there as well as two giants of the Tucson theatre world – Suz Claussen and Carolyn Reed. Plus two who also performed – Carol Marlowe, she of the famous censorship event at Flowing Wells years ago, and Steve Barancik, who has had a screenplay produced that won awards for him and cast members. And several of my friends and acquaintances came, including my Potty Patrol pal Fred Seger and his wife Cindi.

Anyway, it was a creative and personal success. I got laughs and applause and many kudos afterwards. A real high and all without a drink (until afterwards).

You should have been there.

Earl Wettstein
