She’s Home!

Leave a reply

SEE IF I CARE! 

Phew! At last Susan is home, Miss Penny speaking. Rose and I were out walking one day and I thought I heard Susan’s voice calling me, “Pen-Pen,” Susan’s pet name for me and then I saw this woman walking towards me. Could it be? Was it? Yes, it was Susan. I was beside myself and ran around in circles and peed; I just couldn’t stop myself and peed again. Finally, Susan picked me up, it felt so good to have her home. However, now I have another problem. I like being with Rose and Pierre, so now I miss them. I had a brilliant idea and suggested we all live together. It seemed they didn’t agree. As that will not happen, it is

MY NONCHALANT LOOK!

time for me to sulk. First, I stopped wagging my tail, then I didn’t eat my supper. Susan tried to play with me but I ignored my toys. She picked me up and whispers in my ear; I love that, but I didn’t smile or lick her face (not that that is allowed) I was nonchalant, but secretly soaking up all the loving. I kept that up for two days and then I had to eat; I gobbled down the chicken and even cleaned my dish of kibble. So, it was game over and I stopped sulking. But I stay very close to Susan. She is not getting away again. Before Christmas Susan said she was making me a new blog with my own domain. Where is it? I’m told to be patient it’ll be here at the end of the month.

Bones – Episode 2

Leave a reply

Do you like the title? Miss Penny Speaking, I think Susan’s writing talent is rubbing off on me as the bone story continues. It is summer and hot, very hot, so Susan and I work on the balcony, nine stories high with a gorgeous view of the Ottawa River and a lovely breeze. My bone is a Milkbone, doggy biscuits in the shape of a bone and just my size. I can take them out on the balcony, except there’s a big step and I can’t jump with it on my mouth without dropping it. So, I look cute and wag my happy tail, see the video, and Susan picks me up, but I drop the bone, anyway. It’s times like this that I realize I’m more person than dog. If that is true, then why doesn’t Susan eat Milkbones?  Not sure what Susan has been doing all week, there’s only one new announcement, but here’s one from me my first video. Cute & Happy Dog

What?

Leave a reply

What’s that look for? Miss Penny speaking, I’m burying my bone. Susan gives me these tasty treats called Milkbones and sometimes I want to save it for later. I could leave it on the floor but then someone might steal it. Not sure who? Now I think about it, there’s only Susan in the apartment and I’ve never seen her chew a Milkbone. She should try one, they are delicious. I get them for treats and when Susan has her morning coffee. Psst! Susan has a cookie with her coffee and sometimes she has more than one.

Down-Under, Boots & Spiders!

Leave a reply

I’m exhausted, Miss Penny speaking, we had visitors yesterday, lots of them. Now, I like visitors, but too many interfere with my napping. First Samantha and her mom Cathy came for breakfast. Sam lives in Australia, down-under, not sure where down-under is, it sounds like a strange place. Maybe that’s where Susan goes when she closes the bathroom door. I liked Samantha; she has a dog, actually I smelt two dogs—nice smell. Perhaps I can meet them one day; if I can find down-under. In the afternoon Jonathan, that’s Susan’s eldest and girlfriend Mireille came to visit. Jonathan has whopping big black boots, I like him he’s nice and gentle but those boots… one of these days they will swallow me up! I’m not kidding they are bigger than me. So, I keep my distance, wag my tail a lot, just to let him know I do like him. Susan says they are motorcycle boots for when he rides his Spyder. That doesn’t make sense spiders are little creatures. Oh well, some things I don’t understand—down-under and riding Spiders.

I’m Not Dirty!

Leave a reply

I’m not dirty! Miss Penny speaking. Susan plonked me in the bath today. She said I smelt like a dog. Now, that is an insult. I wasn’t ready for a bath because I was at the groomers only last week; in the middle of a thunderstorm. What a scary experience? It was a horror film. Most dogs, not me of course, are afraid of storms. Imagine the trembling, howling, whining and sheer panic in that tiny store. Now, there’s a doggie smell you want to avoid. Psst! The big dogs are the worst, oh boy do they carry on. I ignore them curl up in the crate and wait my turn. 

Susan’s giving me that look, she doesn’t believe me. I’ll change the subject and give you Susan’s news. As Susan’s assistant a reprimand is due here. Susan’s Reader Group News is not out yet and Episode 8 of The Blue Pendant is still waiting to be edited, so it’s not out as promised. And, a big hiccup: the release of Prelude to Sophie’s War is delayed until July. I guess Susan feels guilty because, as a peace offering she has recorded an excerpt on YouTube Click here to view. It’s quite good I think you’ll like it. So have a listen.

Three in a Bed!

Leave a reply

I survived the weekend without Susan, Miss Penny Speaking. It was tough, but I can take it. Psst… don’t tell Susan, I had a great time. Rose and Pierre have a little backyard, I can run in and out of without a leash. In the next yard was another little dog. How cool is that? And, we went for walks and I met hundreds of friendly dogs, perhaps not hundreds but there were a lot of new friends. Bedtime was a bit different. At home it’s just Susan and me. I ran upstairs, that’s neat, no stairs at home, Rose put me on the bed and we settled quite comfortably, then Pierre got in bed too—three in a bed—definitely warm and cosy, if a bit crowded. I was in the middle and had to wiggle and push my paws to get enough space. Rose and Pierre didn’t seem to mind although I noticed they were clinging to the edge of the mattress, muttering that they didn’t have much room. I used the sad tearful eyes, missing home, and they were fine. Susan picked me up on Sunday night, of course I was careful not to be too happy, but I was very happy and a little nervous she might leave again. So, that night I tried to sleep on top of Susan, making sure she could not get up and leave. Susan wasn’t too happy about that. I just used the sad eyes guilt trip. Susan says I’m talking too much, she has some messages for you.

Abandoned!

Leave a reply

I am shocked and traumatized!  Susan went away and left me… me… the princess! Miss Penny Speaking, I’m a bright dog, so I kinda got the idea something was going on. First I noticed, a tote being packed with a stack of notebooks and pens too many for one person. The next morning an empty suitcase case was put beside me on the bed; I was still snoozing. I opened one eye and thought What’s that doing there? Why is Susan standing at the closet door, sighing and muttering under her breath? Clothes were hauled out of the closet, inspected and either returned to the closet or thrown on me, well, the bed. But, it gets worse, my bed, blanket, toys, treats and kibble are packed in a big bag. Then I put two and two together, clothes plus suitcase plus my things meant we were going away. Oh, cool an adventure. And I was right; me, Susan and all the bags were put in the car, did I tell you I hate the car, but it’s okay today. Then, another treat we stopped at Rose and Pierre’s, but something odd happened they took my bags out of the car but Susan’s stuff did not appear in the hallway. You guessed it, Susan disappeared, the car drove off and left me behind; can you believe that? Rose gave me lots of cuddles and told me Susan was off to the Ottawa Independent Writers Retreat and Workshop in Westport and would be gone for a few days. Huh! See if I care! I lowered my head and made the best sad eyes yet and it worked more cuddles and treats and I settled in for the weekend.

Play and Away!

Leave a reply

No breaking news today: Noisy construction has delayed video recordings. But check out episode 7 of The Blue Pendant – Nothing is Fair in Love and War

Play & Away!

I love my walks, but I wish I could walk without my leash. Miss Penny speaking, I also like to play and being attached to Susan means I can’t run after birds and squirrels. I am sure they would like to play but I can’t get to them. Yesterday a cute rabbit ran by me, it took me by surprise and I almost choked, Susan said it was my fault for pulling, I say its animal cruelty. I only want to play with the rabbit. It’s been boring here. Susan spent all week formatting the new book and it’s ready for the Arc readers, whatever that is? Oh, Susan says it’s free advanced copy for feedback prior to the launch. Contact Susan this week if you’re interested as she’ll be away at the OIW Writers Retreat next weekend. WHAT! Susan away? I don’t like the sound of that. Where am I going? This is serious I don’t like being away from Susan. I think it’s rude not to tell me. I wonder if I’m going to Rose and Pierre’s house, that wouldn’t be too bad.

Aha! Cuddles

Leave a reply

Aha, cuddles! Miss Penny Speaking. When I’m not playing I am Susan’s assistant and I like to cuddle, so curling up with Susan while she writes, works well for me, I can supervise from this position. However, Susan’s not so keen, something about, it’s hard to type when I’m resting on her shoulder. I guess she needs to practise more, except she doesn’t and I get put in my bed. It does works when she is reading aloud. Reading aloud is all part of the writing process. I bet you didn’t know that; see I’m pretty smart. Once a book is finished and edited Susan reads it aloud, I get cuddles and a story. So, this has been a good week for cuddles. I have listened to Prelude to Sophie’s War from beginning to end and it is good. Sophie is a strong, determined woman, just like me. Well, sort of, I’m a dog and she’s a person. Although losing her father in a fire when she was only sixteen years old, left some nasty emotional scars. I don’t remember my father and I don’t have scars; it must be a people thing. That’s it for today, look out for Susan’s Reader Groups News next week. And, psst! I’ll let you into a secret… Susan has recorded a reading from Prelude to Sophie’s War due for release next week.

Spring in my Step!

Leave a reply

I see I’ve been preempted again and I’m not impressed. My picture and story should come first. I’m a bit spoilt! Miss Penny Speaking. Well, at last I was outside without either boots or coat with a spring in my step; a little chilly on the paws but I can walk on grassy patches and feel the wind in my fur. My walking routine is back to normal and that is a good thing as Susan is ignoring me, other than the walks. She is busy with yet another project. She’s great at coaching people to write books. I didn’t know this, but then I’m a dog so what do I know, Susan says that many people with small businesses want to write a book to add value to their business. She discusses the business side of things all the time with me and even my doggie brain thinks this is a great idea. Not that I would have a clue how to write a nonfiction book but Susan has the expertise and is finally expanding the coaching, How to Write a Nonfiction Book for your Business – A three-month coaching program. So, I will gaze out of the window waiting for my walks, pawing at Susan’s knee to remind her I’m here. Ah! It’s a dog’s life. If you are interested contact Susan  click here.
