It is the best feeling when writing I believe - that moment when you are as much the reader as the writer. My lurcher, Jess, wrote her own column in a magazine for years (without any help from me I think) and my current dogs contribute to my blog from time to time. It is definitely them writing and not me...

I would even say that I have tried to teach my human how to write better. Alas, he will not listen :)<br />Much satisfaction with your book, Patsy. Seems very intriguing. <br />Pawsitive wishes and doggy kisses, Penny xxklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-10617912544291027262012-03-20T07:58:45.649+00:002012-03-20T07:58:45.649+00:00Thanks everyone for your support.

Once I visited a herb garden in the rain and there was something about the clump of tarragon which reminded me of a bedraggled dog. <br /><br />I note down little details like that and try to sneak them into stories whenever I can.Patsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12263765378083045973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-64621311247254199362012-03-18T15:54:48.888+00:002012-03-18T15:54:48.888+00:00How I agree - lovely dog (and aren't all sette...How I agree - lovely dog (and aren't all setters scatty?) and brilliant name for him too :-)Teresa Ashbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15350697922935549188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7328996877751363067.post-68872928900151220492012-03-18T14:25:46.777+00:002012-03-18T14:25:46.777+00:00Oh we love Patsy Collins!!
