It's time for my weekly round up of various and sundry writer-icity and fur-centric projects and doin's. These days you wouldn't want to be my calendar. It has so many highlighted colors for emphasis it looks like a peacock exploded.
Ah, the life of the busy freelancer. *s* My boss always knows...

Friday here at Red Room is a "blog-icity roundup" of the past week from my Bling, Bitches & Blood blog. I don't want y'all to miss any of the awesome dog and cat content, or the writing schtuff, so have it on my calendar to post a mash-up.
I've been AWOL from RedRoom (my bad!) because of...

Emile was sitting outside the Cap Ferret tourist information office, dozing in the afternoon sun, happily unemployed.
An ancient Citroen 2CV, an exercise in rust and bungee cords, backfired noisily along the quayside and slumped to an exhausted halt across the street from him. With a shriek of...

I overheard a woman say, “Girls can be SO catty.”
The woman she was talking to responded, “They ARE, aren’t they!”
It was a lesson my mother taught me. Her point was: “Don’t trust girls, they’re out to hurt you.”

Considered dangerous, wolf-dogs are not welcome in New York. If a wolf-dog is suspected or found, owners must pay a hefty fine and still lose their dog.
So, it’s no surprise the wolfish looking dog wandering the streets of Brooklyn was not claimed. It’s sad because the dog animal control officers...

People fight the cold with heavy coats, long underwear and wooly mittens. And if it's too cold for people, a fur coat won't protect pets from weather extremes, either. Just like people frostbite and human hypothermia, pets also can suffer from cold weather dangers, including frostbite and...

Holiday homes become pet playgrounds at this time of year. Cats delight in un-decking the halls and climbing the tree. Dogs eat decorations and baptize the tree. The result is a holiday that's anything but merry. My latest Paw Nation article addresses some of the most common holiday safety issues...

It's been too long since I posted, and I don't want y'all to think I'm twiddling my furry fingers. So from now on I plan to post a sort of weekly "recap" of blog-icity to stay in touch.
MONDAY MENTIONS--MASHUP OF AWESOMENESS
Monday Mentions is the mash-up-day of all the neato-torpedo links and...

I should never have watched the video with the beagles. I'd blame all this on that video, or the posts that Tim puts up about Scout's Rescue, but I'd be kidding myself. It was Chopper, really. Sort of.
Every now and then, I get dreams where Chopper comes and hangs out for a while. They've...

I walk a lot, usually ever day, generally following the same set of roads, paths, sidewalks and trails, which leads me to encounter many of the same people.
One such person is a woman whose name is...unknown. I once knew her name. Now I don't.
I met her after reading a local newspaper article three...
