Writers and Their Faithful Companions

We writers need privacy. We crave solitude. But hermits we ain't. So many of us have pampered critters around, and we thought it would be fun to show some of them off. Here's my Bengal kitty--yes, he's on the counter again--developing a clever plot featuring the bettas our granddaughter named Blue and Red back when she was beginning to talk. She's a very chattery 4 now, and the fish are still alive, so I guess none of kitty's plots have come to fruition. He does enjoy drinking out of their bowls, which is a step above the bowls our family dogs have always preferred.

We Riders will be posting our own pet pix in the next week or so while we gather up a few guest authors' pets to showcase next month. Animal lovers, keep checking back. We have some cool surprises in store.
