A Reprieve from Book-ish Stuff (sort of...)

Today I am sharing a posting by Catherine Ryan Hyde, well known UK author of several novels. This is another example of how technology brings people together around the world. It's a wonderful thing to be writing in today's times. So many topics to write and read about. So many people to meet!

Catherine is prolific, not only in writing marvelous novels, but also in maintaining a very entertaining blog as well. I am honored to have been featured in her recent post http://www.catherineryanhyde.com/blog/2011/5/6/more-puppy-puppy.html with my ol' friend Boru. He tipped the scales at 202 pounds and was quite the character. An Irish wolfhound (the breed has lots of history behind it), he was a BIG fellow, but was truly a gentle giant. Enjoy.
