In a world where chaos and uncertainty seem to reign, The Pink Dog Chronicles, Volume III: The Tavern of Forgotten Woes offers sanctuary. Mounu and her devoted companion, The Pink Dog—whose lineage stretches back through centuries of sentries for the Tavern of the Divine—invite us to step inside a timeless refuge where broken wings are mended, strength is restored, and light rekindles even in the darkest of times.
Through playful yet piercing poetry, this volume reminds us that we are not called to hide from the world’s pain, but to rise and meet it with renewed clarity and grace. As Pink guides us through the Tavern’s inner chambers, we discover how to scrape off despair, ease distress, and remember our wholeness.
Dedicated to all who resist the chaos of our times, this book does not offer escape, but renewal. Within these pages we learn that only by returning again and again to the present moment—the heart of the Tavern itself—can we gather the strength to re-enter the world with love, courage, and unshakable peace.
The Tavern’s invitation is always open. Step inside, sip deeply of its wisdom, and remember: here, every woe can be forgotten, and every soul can be restored.
“Over the years, I have done a lot of inner work through self-growth seminars, books, and therapy. On first reading The Tavern of Forgotten Woes I felt, I should be visiting there more often. Then I felt I could be. And then I felt I want to. Now I feel that I will. The Tavern of Forgotten Woes reminds me that inner work is where peace and freedom lie. Pink Dog and Mounu’s wisdom offer a way to that freedom and peace. It is a path to the inner wisdom that is my inner Self. In a world that seems to have gone mad and the fear I feel because of it; this book offers a map to solace and inner awareness. The woes of this world can be overwhelming. Going to the Tavern and the awareness that it offers is a way to tap into the peace and freedom that I want. That wisdom will set me free. There is a saying that if you want to change the world, start with you. If I want world peace, I have to begin with me. The Tavern of Forgotten Woes is a great place to start and to visit often.”

Their first book, ‘The Art of Bwaling-According to The Pink Dog’ was a Bronze Award Winner and a ‘Readers Favorite’ in an International publishing contest. As one professional reviewer for the contest said in part, “I loved the book, the concept, the messages in it, and the author’s way of handling a relevant topic in a different, refreshing, and unique way. I would say the book is definitely a must-read for everyone as the author, along with her Pink Dog, teaches us how to de-stress our lives without stressing too much.” All of their work focuses on Stress Relief from very stressful topics, and the exploration of our inner depths or as they refer to those depths, ‘The Tavern of the Divine.’ Although The Pink Dog got her wings a few years ago, she continues to connect with mounu in many ways. She continues to co-write, comfort and teach mounu on a daily basis. We hope you enjoy exploring many topics in our bookstore, and that you will share our books as gifts for all occasions.
