When the World's-Best-Germa...I loved this post!<br />When the World's-Best-German-Shepherd passed on, I resolved not to get a new dog for a while. I didn't think it was fair to a new dog, as I'd expect her to behave as well as my old dog. I figured God would send me a dog when the time was right. Instead, a little all-black kitten showed up in my backyard crying for food. At 5 a.m. every morning. She was too small for the traps we set, but I found that leaving food out meant I could sleep to a reasonable hour in the morning. It took months before I could earn her trust enough to get close to her, but when I did, I warned kitty that I was a dog person. "You're not my cat," I told her. <br />Fast forward to four years later: every morning a very smug NotMyCat demands her due of hugs and kibble. Apparently the fact that she's not my cat doesn't mean that I'm not her human.Evelyn M.

Thankfully, neither has learned to type, but there's nothing like a cold nose on my arm while I'm writing a suspense scene to scare me right out of the chair.

Zorro was trying to play with it and it was striking at him. I grabbed both Zorro and Midnight and ran from the room with 30 pounds of squirming cat! Then my sister and I got the snake into a plastic waste basket, took him out and deposited him in the woods.<br />Lucy and Tyre sound like fun. Yeah, kitties are pretty good at messing with our stories!Carol J.

I don't have a fear of snakes, but walking into the room and seeing one striking at my cat almost gave me a heart attack, especially not knowing whether it was poisonous. Fortunately, it was only an eastern rat snake. He's somewhere in the woods now, where I hope he stays!<br /><br />Rescues are amazing, aren't they? They always seem to know what we saved them from and give us their undying love.Carol J.

The shelter people told us the dog was part lab, part hound. I'm pretty sure it's 99%hound, but he's awesome! Someone told me they always say part lab because that makes people want them more. <br /><br />Love your books, so I'm looking forward to the new one.
