Orange Kitty and Maddie watching the world outside our front door
Change something in a dog’s environment and this happens: “Whoa! Wait a minute. What’s that? That’s never been there before. I don’t think I like it. I’ll just creep up on it and get a closer look. Whoa! Still don’t know what it is. Maybe I need to smell it. Gotta get a little closer. Do I dare? Oh. Yeah. It’s just a plastic bag. Hunh.”
Make the same change in a cat’s environment and this happens: “Wow! Look at that! Could that be fun? What is it? Doesn’t matter. I think I will wiggle my butt and pounce on it? Yup. I knew it. That was fun. Let’s do it again.”
I'm a writer. But I'm also a wife and a mom to a couple of fur babies. You could call me a cook (but never a chef, I'm not that good) and provisioner as well. Laundress? Yeah. Probably. I design jewelry and I crochet. But mostly I love to write. I love words and how they sound. I love their meanings and origins. I love stringing them together. And of course, I love to read. Thinking about it just now, I realize that what I love most is life and the people around me with a special place set aside for my wonderful husband, our adorable dog and our inscrutable cat. It's the world and the people in it that fuels my writing. So thanks to you all for being the amazing beings that you are.
