I can vouch for yours; she is a bundle of sweetness. Sam's only thought on writing is to take advantage of every second that I'm not writing. When the phone rings, he immediately begins to nudge my free hand. "Thank heavens you've stopped pounding that keyboard. Time to scratch my ear!"

We both benefit. She wags her tail, glad to be communicating. I hear any overlong sentences, repetitive words, cliches, and the flat-out stupid spots in my draft." Marianne - I've always had dogs, often poodles. My husband and I showed Chessapeake Bay Retrievers and competed in Obedience. I taught dog training classes for years. This pit bull is the sweetest, brightest, most honest dog I've ever known. A pit bull! Astonishing to me, still. I love the hidden extra clues to our existances that show up in these photos. Does anyboidy else write with dogs? Cats? Iguanas? “The first thing I do with my writing,” I tell kids at schools, “is read it aloud to my dog. We both benefit.
