Crossing the Ohio? No." Aww, come on. He could stare majestically off into the distance. He's only a couple inches off the ground. You wouldn't need a very big mural to get to the end of his field of vision. Until I chatted with her, I was worried that the 'real' Christine Merrill wouldn't be able to get my dog's inner psychotic on canvas. But now, I have great faith in her. Of course, I'm going to have to write many more books to afford the painting. But if Wolfie is in your books? For you, this would be deductible. “A mural of Wolfie. Crossing the Ohio? No.”

But Wolfie has many facets so he can inspire another dog character. And this book is still in the conceptual stage, nobody's seen it yet, don't even know if I can sell it when I get it to the concrete stage so that's all you get about it. Yes, that's the bed I painted. But it has many coats of Sparkling Stone over the Rough Terrain so now I like it, too. A mural of Wolfie. Crossing the Ohio? No. Steve was based on Wolfie.

The first Crusie I read was Fast Women and it is the dachshund in it that is responsible for my Crusie addiction.

He's gorgeous. It made me go and hug my dog. She's so patient she sits beside me for hours while I type, then when I start to read things out loud she rolls her eyes and leaves the room. I figure the day she stays to listen, I'll have this writing gig whipped. *grin* Hey, Dug. Big wave. Awww. He’s gorgeous. It made me go and hug my dog.
