I’m so excited and proud when my book is finally printed and I get to hold it in my hands.
But then I want to show it off and read it to somebody and no one is home, except…
My DOGS!
They are the best audience in the world. They pay attention to every single word…
Laugh at all the right places…
And then quiet down and listen empathetically to the touching parts…
And then if I give them a treat, they tell me how much they love my pictures too! Who could ask for more!

There is nothing like a pet. I love the pictures, especially when they laugh in all the right places.
