Hello to you Manda, and nice to get to know you. I'm a newbie here, so I don't know everyone yet.
I've just begun to read The White Queen by Philippa Gregory, and the story really takes to you. I did read a couple of her other books (The Other Boleyn Girl, The Queen's Fool) and liked them. She brings history to life, I find.

Your dogs' expressions are priceless, Vanessa.

And I love the pic of MLE's pups, I'm always fascinated by the way they just sprawl on top of each other in the strangest positions.

I know - they're not over keen on each other! They're half brothers and there's a lot of sibling rivalry going on!! LOL. I would not have two male dogs again - one male and one female or two females would be fine. They are both alpha males and it creates no end of problems.

Ohmigosh- 12! How does she feed them all? Abs is running ragged with 6... she decided it was time for a walk today, to give herself a break from them which did weird things to my writing timetable, but she was raring around like the mad thing she used to be, not the somewhat over-stuffed waddler of recent weeks.

Have you done their astrology charts? Fascinating to compare the different birth times - there's a massive grand cross happening just now so the charts all have monumental squares and oppositions in them: it'll be really interesting to see how they grow...

Yay - someone else has a dog as their writing buddy - it feels *truly* odd just now not to have her next to the desk, even tho' the pups are only hallway and a room away... here's to man happy writing hours with Boswell!
