I was just thinking today about how it's such an incredible thing to have a reader or two tell you that you've touched their life... There's no price tag that can be put on that.

You'..."Then there's the dog satellite. You've heard about the dog satellite, haven't you?" Mr. Barry asked. "In the evening when your dog is lying quietly and nothing's happening. All of a sudden, the dog looks up and barks -- that's when the dog satellite passes over."<br /><br />"Everyone thinks writers are very busy writing, but a lot of the time you sit around feeling stupid, with this tremendous fear of having to get a real job. But with the dogs there, no matter how stupid you feel, they are always more stupid," he observed. <br /><br /> He used the recent hurricane in Miami as an example. "We had a screened-in porch, to keep the subtropical bugs from stealing the furniture, and every day for years, I let the dogs out, first opening the door to the porch and then the door to the outside. After the hurricane, our patio enclosure was orbiting the earth, but the screen door was still there, standing by itself like a sculpture. What do you think those dogs did when I let them out of the house? They ran to the screen door . . ."<br />hollygeehollygeehttp://www.hollygraphicarts.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-70501475071192252172011-01-06T12:17:09.629-05:002011-01-06T12:17:09.629-05:00Being a cat person, I'm more likely to meow, I...Being a cat person, I'm more likely to meow, I'm afraid.Lauren Baratz-Logstedhttp://www.laurenbaratzlogsted.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2037419790609319671.post-79605479902138370832011-01-06T11:33:58.388-05:002011-01-06T11:33:58.388-05:00Nice analogy, Judy!
