Hello, My Name is Petey Introducing the new puppy.
Even before we brought home new puppy Petey, our first thought was how would we make sure it goes well between him and Ernest? "I'm so cute. How could anyone not adore me?" Ernest is almost 9 years old. Petey was almost 9 weeks old. Would they like each other? Would...
Did you Guess? Our Family has Grown!
Something exciting is happening at The Writer's Dog...Friday I asked you to guess what it might be. Some of you guessed that I was under contract for a new series of dog books, and that my first book is being made into a movie. Wow I'd love that! Both of those would...
