When I was very young, my mom and I would hole up in our rooms, write stories and poems, and then emerge to eat cookies and read each other what we’d written. I’ve loved dogs for just as long, and apparently I passed that on to my kids in utero. My daughter’s first word was not Mama or Dada. It was dog. (About the sweatshirt in the photo: I didn’t go to Berkeley, but my Other Half did.) What’s your story? Are you a writer, too? Dog-friend? Click on the button below and tell me your thoughts.
