Mission Accomplished!

Leave a reply

I’ve had enough of this weather, Miss Penny speaking, snow and more snow. Do you have any idea how cold it is to walk with bare paws in snow? And, if it’s not cold snow it’s stinging, burning wet salt, creeping in between my paw pads. Susan tries to help by putting socks on my paws, but I look like a right narna with happy face socks; they feel weird and I try to kick them off. Adding insult to injury Susan laughs as I kick my back legs calling me a donkey. Donkey, indeed! Did I mention the cold? At eight pounds, I don’t have much fat on me so even with my coat on, and there’s another story, I’m cold and shiver. But Susan makes me walk, cruelty it is. Eight pounds or not I can sit on my haunches and dig my heels in and nothing can move me. Then, I lift one paw, pull my ears close to my face and look up with sad, hurt eyes. Hee, hee! That does it. She picks me up and if I wind up the shivering, Susan cuddles me and carries me home to our nice warm condo. Mission accomplished. Now, I can curl up in my bed and snooze while Susan works. BIG News!

Traitor!

Leave a reply

Susan called me a traitor. I am crushed. Innocent me, a traitor? Miss Penny speaking. Now, I was in a difficult position, Rose, my other favourite person was visiting and stayed the night. What is a little dog to do? Rose gets in bed in the study and Susan is in her bed. At first I wondered back and forth, then I sat on Susan’s bed thinking. Why can’t they sleep in the same place, I like my pack altogether; I’m a dog remember, I don’t admit that often. Finally, I jumped down and snuggled up with Rose. I must have nodded off because when Susan got up in the morning she was upset. Actually, Susan has been a bit cranky lately, I notice she’s not writing. Oh, there’s another book coming almost edited, cover design is next. The third book in the Lavender Cottage series. Maybe you can help with the title. Susan can’t decide between Truth or Lies and Believing Her Lies – Click here with your choice. Here’s a brief synopsis. “Katie and Piers love each other but struggle with doubt. A jealous woman tries to get between them by feeding, vulnerable Katie with lies and innuendoes. Piers’ late wife intervenes from the grave.” If you ask me, and I’m privy to the whole story, it’s about time these two tied the knot. I can’t give anything away but some events in this novel are surprising and we expect romance novels to have a happy ending. 

Sorry, what was that? When is my blog coming? Good question, but as Susan thinks I’m a traitor, I’m lying low for a while.

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.

Searching for Susan

Leave a reply

I am worried, Miss Penny Speaking, Susan disappeared a long, long time ago. I’m okay Rose is taking good care of me but where is Susan? I am out searching, I even wore my boots, which I hate, even though they are neat as they look like sneakers. I have a red pair but I hide them in my bed along with any socks I can find. If I have to walk on cold salty sidewalks so can Rose and Pierre, hee, hee! I have quite a stash of stuff in my bed; I found a tea towel the other day. If I can’t find Susan then I’ll find things to comfort me. And I don’t have my new blog. This is very serious. If you find Susan, please send her home. Go to her website and message me.

Mom’s Visit

Leave a reply

Yesterday was both exciting and traumatic, Miss Penny Speaking. Kathleen and Lila, (my mom) came to visit. I got so excited I peed and Susan was mad with me. My mom is a very nervous type; she has had a hard life. They rescued her from a horrible place called a puppy farm when she was pregnant with me. Kathleen took her in and looked after her and then I was born, I had brothers and sisters who all went to nice forever homes and my mom stayed with Kathleen and I came to live with Susan. After the ladies had tea, Kathleen took us for a ride in her new car. I hate the car; they tied me up in the back with my mom. I whined and kicked up a fuss, which upset my mom. Then Kathleen and Susan left us in a parking lot. Can you believe that? Susan went into a store and Kathleen went into a restaurant to pick up supper. By the time they returned, I was frantic and then I, sweet little me, got into trouble again for upsetting my mom, who was shaking and trembling. Poor Mom, she never completely got over the puppy farm. I’m so lucky to have Susan. Psst! Don’t tell her I said that. I’ve heard rumblings about training and discipline, not sure what discipline means but it doesn’t sound like fun. Now, this is quite worrisome, Susan is not writing at the moment, although I have seen evidence of WW1 research, which could mean she is preparing to start a new Sophie book. Oh, Susan said to tell you Kobo has some specials, see below and to  remind you that everyone is invited to join Susan for her presentation on Dec 7th 1:30 – 5pm  pop in or stay a while.

Miss Penny Speaking, and speaking rather fast, because I am excited. You will never guess what Susan has done, she bought me a present. No, it’s not a toy or a ball, although I could do with a new ball I lost my pink one somewhere, oops like I said I’m talking too fast. Susan bought me a domain name, MissPennySpeaking .com and that means that I will have my very own blog/website. How cool is that? But don’t click yet as Susan has to build the website. Does that mean she has to go to one of those home building places for bricks and drywall? Susan does a lot of things but I’ve never seen her with a hammer or screwdriver. Actually, that is scary. Susan tells me websites are built inside laptops. Um! That’s weird, but what do I know I’m a dog, sort of. Anyway, I am very excited but it might be awhile as Susan is crazy busy selling books.

Go see her today at the Jack Purcell Centre at the Small Press Book Fair. Noon – 5 pm  320 Jack Purcell Lane, Ottawa. You can browse all her books, perfect gifts especially the Christmas at Lavender Cottage, such a warm romantic story. Yup, I’m a romantic too, and it’s packed with Christmas recipes including shortbread and there will be samples. Jungles bells, jingle bells… I am so happy I’m singing! Bye for now!

A New Pink Coat

Leave a reply

It’s cold -5c, Susan said, and I didn’t believe her. Miss Penny speaking, even with my sweater on, which I hate, and it didn’t help much. Especially when I had to stick my butt in the snow for you-know-what. I shivered all the way around the block until Susan picked me up and cuddled me. Then she disappeared, I hate being left alone too, but she bought me a new coat. At first I sulked but this morning we walked to the park and I never shivered once. It is very smart, bright pink for a princess-dog, a fur-trimmed hood and a cozy fur lining (faux fur)

 

 

Except it had this label that said  For cats too, WHAT! Cats in coats, unbelievable!

Sticky Burrs!

Leave a reply

Have you heard of ‘burrs’ or perhaps I should say felt burrs, Miss Penny speaking? They are little round things covered in hooks, the seeds of the Burdock plant, and they stick to everything including me. During our walk the other day I got covered in them. I had one hanging from my face, several in my paws. Susan pulls them out and that stings a bit, but I know it’s for the best. But, we missed one. I was in agony with this thing digging into my tummy. It twisted into my fur so the fur pulled every time I moved and the little hooks of the burr dug into my skin. I hardly had a wink of sleep as it was morning before Susan found it. She had to cut it out. Oh, what a relief! Can you guess what happened next? Yep, the groomers! Kind of like adding insult to injury. Now, I’m cold, I had a lovely long coat, but it was getting mattered and those burrs were a problem. Although I say it myself, I look glamorous. Susan’s catching up with admin work and getting ready for the Small Press Book Fair, signings to finish the year off.

Dognapping Invaders!

Leave a reply

I knew something big was going on last weekend, Miss Penny speaking, and I was right. Susan ignored me for three days, as she packed boxes and the printer buzzed above my bed, not conducive to napping. And then she closed the door and left me, abandoned again. Not long after Susan left, I heard the key in the front door and strange footsteps approach the study. I shivered and quaked, Dognapping invaders! The door opened slowly, my heart is beating out of my chest, I’m terrified. How could Susan leave me? And… there stood my good friend Nancy. My tail did a double-time wag, you see I love Nancy. But, I stopped wagging my tail and held my breath there was a man standing behind Nancy. Is he a friend or is Nancy colluding with him to dognap me? I start the shiver, big time, the more dramatic the better the cuddles and Nancy buys it and picks me up. The guy, Jim, seemed okay, but I was dognapped and taken to a car and whisked away to Nancy’s place. Phew! I’ve been before so I settled on Nancy’s lap and slept.

Funny Feeling in my Tummy!

Leave a reply

I have a funny feeling in my tummy that something big is going on. Miss Penny speaking. The dinning table is piled with books, banners, brochures, postcards, signs and even shortbread. What does shortbread have to do with writing? There has been a lot of talk about Ottawa Book Expo (see details below) and that feeling in my tummy tells me we are getting close and I’m not included. I was right Nancy is coming to look after me, now I like Nancy so that’s not so bad, but I can still look forlorn and make Susan feel bad. Chuckle! And, Susan says, the shortbread is going as samples to promote Christmas at Lavender Cottage because the recipe is in that book and once you taste Susan’s shortbread you must get the recipe. And you get the bonus of a special warm, enchanting romantic Christmas story of family and friends with a dose of mystery, suspense and, of course, a happy ending. Check out the videos on my Facebook page

Here are the details: Sunday Oct 20th 10 am – 5 pm (that’s tomorrow) Ottawa Book Expo Lansdowne Park Horticultural Building Booth # 8 Susan will be on stage at 11:15 taking about The story behind the story followed by a reading. See you there! Well, no actually dogs aren’t allowed, that’s bummer maybe I’ll sulk.
