DOGS ON THE BED

Uh-oh, she caught me! -- My dog, Inky, on my quilt.

Do you let your dogs sleep on the bed, even though you swore you'd never let them up there, or someone made you promise not to? Come on, admit it. Even though those furry critters take up waaaay too much space, dig their feet into your ribs or lollop their big heads on your shins so you can't move, you just can't resist them. Neither can I.

After one particularly hazardous night when my two small spaniels just about pushed me off the bed with their stretching, I had to write them a little story/poem/song of love and annoyance.

The result was a rhyming, rompy picture book called, DOGS ON THE BED, out from Candlewick Press in Fall 2007, illustrated by the marvelous artist, Anne Wilsdorf.

We'd bet the dog fanatics in your life will relate to this one!
