Let's just start this post with my admission to having a huge soft spot for anything with fur, feathers or gills. Yes, I am a pet lover. There are more animals in my house than humans...and I kinda like it that way!
If you come to my house you must be prepared to be greeted by my two friendly cats, my hyper puppy and you'll probably be cursed out by my sulfur-crested cockatoo! The lizard and the fish won't bother you, so just ignore them.
But, I love them all and after a hard day at the day job when I sit down write, it's a wonderful feeling when one of the cats curls up in my lap...like Rocky over here!
Or when my little YorkiPoo Toby sits at my feet.
They listen to my keyboard and sleep. The don't comment as I run dialogue out loud or if I complain...
Sweet faces, quiet and attentive love (unless they're hungry!) who could ask for a better writing companion?
Tell me about your favorite fur-covered writing buddy!
