Y’all probably know that we Dog’s are woman’s, and man’s, best friends.
But, did you know we are also the secret tool of women writer’s? How can you explain that!
Their secret (canine) is out of the bag.
“Hey, but what about cats?” What about them! You have a writing pad or computer/keyboard, of course. Now, recall a bad dream of a cat walking or laying on top of these. Maybe they even mistook it for a litter box.
If Dog is writers best friend, do I really have to tell you what a cat is. Please!
Btw, do you know some of my friends are women writers? Who? You’ll just have to guess, or read this blog…

Gotta Read a Bunch of Writings. Stay Thirsty My Friends
Oh I see your long long blog roll with no mustard and no me, dawg. Not even a Haha?
Sorry, Queenie. Frankly, I can’t keep up with all your blogs, or their names.
I need to review my blogroll & edit out those bloggers who are no longer actively commenting and blogging. I have to save room here for those who are active.
I write in my dogs’ company but that’s because we’re co-dependent, not because it helps my writing.
I think we need a blog article from you saying how the Hotel Castle Green has literally, and hopefully, gone to the dogs.
I wrote it and hell broke loose. Please feel free to stop by.
My invisible muse is surely a dog.
Kinda sounds like you may also need a visible K9, PIO Emeritus!
Hello Cafe Pasadena, Pasadena Adjacent, long time no see. How have you been?
VH, yes long time no see – cuz you privatized your Pasadena blog! But, good to hear from you on my old blog again. I hope you’re still writing, sharing your thoughts. You have a blog, old or new, which I can ck out?
It’s good to see both you & others back together commenting on my blog!
Hello! nice to see you again.
I have been busy! I am internet famous now, wow, do I have some stories to tell. Its great to see you are still going, and great to read the posts about Pasadena. I will stop by more often.
if the comments you’ve received indicate anything, it’s that this theory of yours is going to the dogs

There’s always a couple of exceptions to a rule, PA. You & me are a just a couple of examples. Btw, I have plenty of K9 postings in my ammunition belt.
Well, you know that I am a big fan of the canines! By the way, I have your cookies! Message me on Facebook and we can set up a time for me to bring them to you.
“A big fan of the canines”? Now, that’s a sign of a womans woman.
And, please, hand over the cookies and nobody gets hurt!
The cat’s right here next to me, curled up asleep. Affectionate, tactful (yes), and self-cleaning. Chalk me up with the cat people.
You definitely lucked out with that cat, JE!
And, welcome back home to Southern Cal!
I agree with Hiker. Everything there looks so perfect.
Perfect? But, but, where’s the man of the house, Adele??
I saw that article too! I must be an anomaly–I have neither a cat nor a dog. But my best friend as far as writing is concerned is my support system–friends, family, and awesome fellow bloggers like you!
If you’re gonna be known as Krugh deWriter you must get a writers best friend!
This dog is honored to be a part of another womans writing support system.
I’m totally jealous of the perfectly appointed work space and the well-behaved dog.
I think I know what you’ll be looking for next.
Like so many of my favorite writers (including Twain, Colette, Bradbury, and Hemingway), I am a cat person. You’re absolutely correct, though, about how they hop on the keyboard and cause trouble. Even so, the barking dogs next door do nothing to inspire me. Poet Billy Collins wrote a wonderful poem after listening to his neighbors’ dogs barking all day. It’s called “Another Reason Why I Don’t Own a Gun.” Really funny poem for writers
I admire those excellent writers such as yourself who can continue to write despite having a cat in the house.
And you are a wonderful blogger too – I just wish I had more time to read your blog, let alone work on my own! 
Ann Leary’s book sounds excellent ~ and I’m already looking forward to the movie! I guess I’ll have to be somewhat patient on that score. Happy Monday, puppy dog.
And her husband, Dennis, is one of my fav entertainers.
My dog is actually more disruptive when I’m at the computer than my cats…
She insists that I pet her and pet her!!!!
She insists that much? Your dog must do really special things to demand such special recognition!
