By So I’ve been working on a fun blog post the last couple of weeks but it’s not quite ready yet. I’ve tried a few times to get the ball rolling faster to no avail – for this post I’m dependent on the availability of three other people (Which is fine! It’s not like I control everyone else’s lives. I mean, it would be kinda cool if I was all-powerful like that, but alas I am not).
Instead I’m relegated to sitting in my home office working on my book and a few short stories. Oh, the BOREDOM. Actual Writing? No thank you. (Just kidding).
(Sort of).
Luckily I have a brand new companion to keep me company whenever I work from my home office instead of a coffee shop or random dirt patch somewhere.
Meet Maisey, the cutest best dog in the entire world. Mais moved into our apartment a week and a half ago and has been following me around the apartment ever since.
She likes short walks, smelling things, and sitting on my feet while I work. She also enjoys drooling on the floor when it’s time to eat and puts her nose right under my hand if I stop petting her.
I actually love having her around because she reminds me to look up from the computer every once in a while, gets me out of the apartment for walks which is a fantastic break (fresh air = refreshing), and listens intently when I ask her whether my character would believably do something I’m toying with (she doesn’t always have all the answers there).
She’ll definitely get a shout out in the acknowledgements page of one of my books.
So tell me, do you guys like writing with friends, human or otherwise?
Sitting on your feet means she can nap without you wandering off! She looks like a sweetie, but I have bad news…
I already know the cutest best dog in the world. But, it’s okay. Maisey can be the cutest best puppy in the world.
Hahaha spoken like a true dog owner! And she is a sweetie, thanks. 🙂

Hello Maisiey! I also have the cutest, best dog in the world: Sherlock! Adopted 12 years ago in Montana. I love how there are so many cutest, best dogs in the world 🙂
Aw, Sherlock is cute!! So many good doggos out there
Not sure I could stay focused to write with a human friend (and no one I know writes the kind of things I write). Maisey is tempting, but that might cause problems of its own – too much focus on her and not enough on the page. Still, you confess to be productive, so you must have a stouter streak of concentration than I can claim.
She can sometimes stay extra quiet if she knows I’m working – but other times she is the neediest dog in the world (in a good way!). It’s a trade-off I’m willing to make 🙂
Oh, Maisey is darling! I’m so glad for you. I do believe a home is not a home without books and dog (s)! I can’t wait to read your group post.
Thanks! And yes, it does feel much more like a home now
Nice writing buddy you have there 🙂
Thanks 😀
Oh I love Maisey! She’s so cute! Was she a rescue? My writing companion (besides the cats) is my cavalier king charles spaniel called Poppy. I can actually see a blenheim in the background of one of your photos!
