trying to write with a dog staring at you

Poppy listens to an awkward sentence
I have two supervisors who take turns staring at me while I write.

Poppy is pictured here by my laptop, taking over Daisy's shift, who is in the background settling in for an extended nap.

They're great workers. They listen patiently as I read aloud from my work-in-progress and as long as I feature a dog in the story, they don't complain about the plot.

The only time they ditch me is when they hear rattlings in the kitchen!

They look like very cute, furry muses! =)

Ha! They certainly are "furry muses"! Also known as the "yellow rugs", often sleeping on the job :-)

My pooches come running when I start reading my stories out loud. Probably best they can't tell me what they think. Even with their ears perked up, they're probably only thinking about lunch.
