Pug Cousins!

I have Pug cousins, Miss Penny speaking. Before I start my horrendous story Susan says I have to make an author announcement today. Just another nail in my coffin, it’s been a bad week.

The long awaited book release Tuesday, June 29th Heart of Sophie’s War both ebook and paperback will be released on Amazon Check it out? See below for more details. Also Prelude to Sophie’s War is on sale this week.

 

Traumatized, hurt and damaged forever! Dramatic? Perhaps, but I am the princess. Her are the details. We went to visit  Frank (Susan’s son) and family and these two chubby little dogs, Lily and Lila ran to greet us. To say I was surprised is an under statement, there used to be a Labrador living there, I don’t know where he went, he was big and terrifying and these two little Pugs were doubly terrifying. They ran all over the place, barking and jumping, they moved so fast I had trouble following them. Attention grabbers, they certainly didn’t seem to know who was the princess. Psst! I didn’t like them much and when they jumped all over Susan I had to flex my muscles and do my job as protector, not as

Growling Penny

author assistant. I needed to protect Susan. So, wait for it … I growled, I’ve never growled before, it felt quite good,  grrrrr… and then I snapped. A warning not to hurt Susan or me. Was my act of protection appreciated? NO! I got into trouble. Susan was mad with me and shouted at me and then insulted me by petting the pugs. I kid you not she liked them and gave them love. Can you believe that? I am traumatized. Do I get petted? No! And it gets worse, I am put in a pen; me the princess! I couldn’t believe Susan would do that

Penned, Panting Penny! Can you believe that?

to me. Lily and Lila are running around the outside of the pen. I did have a sniff and I guess they weren’t that bad but on Susan’s knee I kept up the vigil of growling, just in case. I did my best and got into a lot of trouble. I am very confused. All for today don’t forget Tuesday June 29th releasing  Heart of Sophie’s War Get your copy.

Dogs and Masks!

Thank goodness I don’t have to wear a mask, Miss Penny speaking, wearing a coat in cold weather is bad enough. Canines are lucky they can’t catch this Covid

But, this Covid thing loves people so everyone must wear a mask to stay safe and stop it spreading and making people very, very sick. Do you know how disconcerting it is not see your face? It might just provoke a growl or a bark, especially if you’re a

Have no fear, mask or no mask, my trusty little nose recognizes you. Masks and noses are the point of this blog. Susan is researching for her latest book Heart of Sophie’s War. Even back as far as the Great War, dogs, with their amazing sense of smell sniffed out explosives on the battlefield. What you might not know is

Now that’s a creepy mask!

they wore masks to protect them, not from the Covid thing, but from gas poisoning. Yikes! They did look really creepy and how the heck they could sniff through that contraption beats me. But they were very brave dogs and served and protected the soldiers, and still do in war zones today. Just like me protecting Susan, well maybe not quite the same, I do my best to woof occasionally.

Afflictions, Puppies & Anxiety

Separation anxiety is an affliction dogs get when left alone, Miss PennySpeaking. I am afflicted. Susan has left me a few times recently.  At least

Pl-e-a-s-e come home soon!

this corona thing kept her at home, but now she’s venturing out. She went to Anna at PurEnvi Spa to get a pedi, whatever that it is, something to do with feet. Perhaps, because she only has two they get worn out. Then the next day she went to deliver books to Coles Bookstore. I don’t know why I can’t come with her, but then I don’t like the car either. Yep, I’m a puppy princess. Speaking of which, I hear rumours about a new puppy. What! Susan wouldn’t dare, would she? So, I’m abandoned again, the cheek of it and she goes off to Frank and Glenda’s and that’s not all… get this… to visit Lily the new puppy. Phew, at least it’s not my house. Oh yes, and on her return she goes on about Lily being cute,

This is the adorable Lily!

adorable – adjectives reserved for me – remember me, the puppy princess? Mind you it’s better than the enormous dog they had before. He was friendly but big and played rough. After I flipped my nose back into joint, that’s a wild expression, my nose is perfectly fine, I’m quite excited Susan says I can play with Lily when she’s had all her shots. Shots! As in gunshots! I discovered she meant vaccinations at the vet. Um, poor Lily the vet is never a good thing.

 

Oops! That evil eye again. Susan is telling me to talk about writing, anyone would think she’d written a new book, to be truthful she’s been slacking off but I will concede that she’s been writing all this week. The Heart of Sophie’s War is progressing. May I suggest you read Prelude to Sophie’s War while you wait for the sequel – London 1915, German Zeppelin attacks are not the only thing Sophie battles at Bartley Hospital. Will her courage be enough to keep her sane and alive?

Office Al Fresco!

Relaxing in the Summer Breeze

Office al fresco, what the heck does that mean? Miss Penny speaking, it means Susan has moved her office outside on the balcony. It’s pretty cool watching the windsurfers and sailboats on the river except when our upstairs neighbour chucks a bucket of water on their balcony, I’m not kidding it’s like a waterfall, not that I’ve ever seen a waterfall I’m repeating what Susan said, except I’ve omitted some unsavoury words. Psst! Oh yes, prim and proper Susan can swear when she gets mad, I have to cover my delicate ears. Back to al fresco. I like to peer through the hole and watch the people on the ground; they look about my size from up here. The breeze is nice and cool as it flutters through my fur. Well, actually there is no fluttering at the moment; I have matts. Not the kind you step on, but the kind that twists and knots in my furry coat. Susan tries to

I need a hair cut!

brush me but I’m naughty and won’t stay still. Well, it tickles and pulls and hurts when she gets to the matted undercoat. Do you know what she does next? She snips with the scissors; she snippety-snips through the matts—now I’m lob-sided. I look a mess and the groomer can’t see me for three weeks. If Susan keeps snip, snipping I’ll have no coat left and you know what that means. Buzzzzzzzz! That’s the sound of the electric clippers as the groomer shaves me naked. I tell you I am not looking forward to that. But for now I’ll enjoy the Office Al Fresco and watching Susan write, although she’s not doing much these days. Of course, she should be in

Susan’s mum granny Betty Celebrates 100 years June 21st. She’s amazing.

England preparing her mother’s 100th birthday party, but this corona thing is still around so she can’t go and is trying to arrange things within the British corona guidelines from the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. It’s not working too well and poor Granny is so disappointed. I feel so sorry for her. This bl**dy corona thing! See, even I’m swearing now. I’d hand you over to Susan, but she doesn’t have much to say. It has been a stressful week so maybe I’ll just sign off. Maybe you could just have a look or a read of one her books, she’d like that. Stay safe, everyone.

Miss Penny Flies a Kite!

I didn’t exactly fly the kite; I was the kite! Miss Penny speaking. Here in Ottawa, Canada we have had snow this week, I know it’s April but I think mother nature is mad with us. On top of snow we had howling gales. Most of the time we are inside because of this corona thing but they allow us to go for walks which is exciting. So here I am trotting away when the wind catches me and I’m blown sideways. That’s okay I’m tough and strong for a little eight pound dog, I put my head down and pump my muscles and force myself through the wind, but I can’t move and I’m being blown into the wall, I look at Susan for help but she is wobbling. Oh no! We are going to fly and then suddenly the wind drops and we can walk again, then another blast hits us, Susan bends down to pick me up, but the wind catches her and she wobbles again, we try to get to shelter away from the traffic on Carling Avenue, (I’m being dramatic because there’s hardly a car on the road because of this corona thing). We finally push against the wind, exhausted by our efforts, and at last I can run on the grass. I’m desperate for a you-know-what, I have no sooner squatted when the wind caught my butt and there I am mid-stream and mid-air, flying like a kite, blushing with embarrassment, okay I know you can’t see me blush, but you get the point. What did Susan do…? She laughed, can you believe that she laughed? She picked me up and gave me a cuddle, so I guess it was okay, no one was hurt and we got home safely. 

Susan has no new news today, she’s been working on Amazon ads all week and not had a chance to write. Remember the picture of last week? Well, I wouldn’t dare show you what she looks like this week. Scary!! But the ads are finished.

Hop-Hopping Easter!

It’s Easter, Miss Penny speaking, I don’t see the Easter bunny hop-hopping anywhere! No chocolate either, not that I care about chocolate because it’s poison to dogs. Not to Susan, judging by the way she shovels those Cadbury Mini eggs in her mouth. Psst! She thinks I don’t notice, but she forgets I have incredible hearing. First comes the rustle of the bag, then the crunch of the outside and

Hm! Not many left Susan

then a sigh. I’m assuming the sigh is the chocolate but not having tasted it I couldn’t say. Perhaps it’s like leftover turkey and yummy gravy with a bit of kibble for the crunch. I savour the gravy and spit the kibble out on the rug: Susan yelps when she steps on it. Sorry! I don’t see any Easter turkey and no visitors or visiting planned. It’s this corona thing again, physical distancing, very weird. I like the attention from visitors and they smell different and most important they think I’m cute or adorable and I like that, but not this weekend. Susan says distancing is important to keep humans safe and stop the spread of infection.

The book business is stalled due to this virus. Susan is busy working on some new marketing and she is writing another Lavender Cottage Book.  See below for details of new and other books.

Smothered with Love!

Susan’s behind me. I’m getting more kisses!

Miss Penny speaking, I’m Susan’s assistant for writing and books but today my blog is going to all those pets; dogs, cats, even guinea pigs and birds or exotic animals, although some pets are not my style and I’m a bit iffy about cats. But solidarity is important at times like these. Fellow dogs, cats and others, have you noticed this corona thing is making your owner very clingy? Now, I love cuddles, a tickle behind the ear sometimes with kisses, a back rub, oh yes don’t forget the tummy rub and the walks. Except walks are a bit weird, I’m not allowed to sniff other dogs unless they are on a very long leash, something about social distancing. Strange behaviour! But between Susan and me, there is definitely no distancing, I’m being smothered, her face is always in mine. I’m picked up during a nap, now that is disturbing and talk, she never shuts up. There are times when I think she expects an answer. Don’t get me wrong: I love this extra attention, but I have a feeling it might come to an end when this corona thing is over. So pets everywhere be warned! This clinginess and smothering will end at some point and either owner or pet or both will be in danger of separation anxiety. We need to prepare!

Okay, that’s enough about me, Miss Penny, on to Susan. She’s a bit stressed right now. The book events are cancelled and now her readers are telling her Amazon is not delivering her paperback books. But there are alternatives. Contact Susan through her website, she has copies for sale. If you don’t live in Ottawa, there is an option. Susan had a customer in the UK successfully order from Book Depository, they deliver books worldwide with free delivery, a real bonus, not to mention the vast amount of books in all categories and genres, it’s worth checking them out. Susan has gone back to her email list to keep readers up to date, with stories, videos and upcoming news. A new issue will come out on Monday to have your copy delivered to your Inbox – Subscribe

Please stay safe and healthy, abide by the rules and take care. Love from Susan and Miss Penny.Smothered with Love!

Glorious Socks!

Socks, glorious socks! Miss Penny speaking. I love socks; they smell good, they stretch, they are the perfect shakers and one of my favourite toys. I’m surprised Susan wears them on her feet, you can’t tousle them there and I’ve never seen her walking around with a sock in her mouth. She doesn’t know what she’s missing. Speaking of feet, the most exciting time is at night when Susan’s take off her socks. I watch like a hawk as she pulls the sock over her toes, and then I wait. Just at the right time I pounce and pull it right off her foot, being careful not to pinch Susan’s toes, and… now this is the best part, Susan has two feet, which means two socks, so I get to do it all over again. Just think, if Susan had four feet like me, I could do this four times. I’m not sure a little dog could take that much excitement. But we need excitement today, there’s a terrible virus attacking people and making them sick. Susan stays home, except for my walks. All public events have been cancelled including the book launch at Coles.  Here’s Susan…

Wash Day

I hate wash day, Miss Penny speaking. It is two hours of torture and I am a nervous wreck at the end. Susan thinks I don’t notice as she sorts the dirty clothes into piles and loads the laundry basket into the cart. We live in a condo (no, in suite laundry) and the Laundry Room is on the lower level. I have no idea what’s in that room, I’m not allowed in (condo rules). Perhaps they’re afraid I’d run off with their knickers or something. Hee, hee! It might be fun whirling around, peering through that little window. Maybe not, I could drown or get eaten up like socks. Susan has a routine, first I get put in my bed and she disappears with the laundry. Then she comes back, sets the timer and gets on with her morning writing and things look normal except it doesn’t fool me. I know as soon as that timer goes off Susan leaves again. Something bad is lurking in that Laundry Room, and it’s not safe down there. I shiver and shake and I get kind whispers in my ear, which is nice, but Susan doesn’t understand how stressful this is for a little dog, she might not come back. Finally, I’m relieved to see the cart come back with a pile of clean laundry and I help with the sorting and putting away. Hey! If you like my blog why don’t you subscribe?

Leap into Beauty

Hee-hee! Get it, leap? Today only happens every four years, Miss Penny speaking. And the beauty part is me, but then you knew that. Do you remember my tousled look of last week? Well, I was right. We took a trip to Pet Agree in Kanata; I love Joni and look what she did. I have never felt so glamorous; I have a pink flower tucked strategically on my right ear (that’s a big word for a little dog) it matches my winter coat and my boots. I sure needed my boots this week. Even on the ploughed sidewalks, the snow came past my belly and inside my coat. Now, that is cold! And squatting, to you know what, I need say no more. I like pushing my nose into the soft snow, I can smell squirrels and that’s confusing because squirrels run up trees, not that I’ve seen any recently.

Susan is giving me ‘the eye’ she has book news. Believing Her Lies – A Lavender Cottage Book (3) has an amazing cover. Psst! I kept telling her the design was okay, but it needed a professional touch. She finally listened and the results speak volumes. Susan uploaded the book ready for the official release March 26th pre-orders available on Kobo and Amazon. First signing Coles Bookstore Billings Bridge March 27th.(TBC)  Click here to read the synopsis.
