What is she?

our  dog on Wednesday
Animal Control Officer Sherry: The coloring and pattern is yorkie.

Me: Her body's kind of long. So maybe dachshund too?

ACOS: I see terrier in her face. Also I'm not sure about the lack of tail.

Me: Corgi?

ACOS: Or she lost it. Who knows what her life's been like. I picked her up in the worst neighborhood in Hartford. She was a stray.

Me: Her eyes are a bit buggy.

ACOS: Hmm. Pom maybe.

Me: or pug? Although she does have elegant legs, so maybe min-pin?

Did we leave out any small breeds besides bishon frise or poodle? They might be in there.

    To me, she looks a bit like a Boing Boing. Only more mature. (PS I don't know anything about dogs!)

    Is Adorable a breed? Or Lucky? I wonder if she's maybe a Yorkie plus a Jack Russell? Anyway, congratulations to you and your family.

    She's a cute. And I would guess any number of black and tan terriers.

    yeah, she really is adorable. She trembled the whole time I was there and she skitters away from people. She liked our big old dog though, (Sooz didn't seem to notice her much).

    We get her on Wednesday--I hope she's housebroken but I'm not real optimistic about that.

    The face is Jack Russell, the body is Yorkie, the legs are MinPin, the tail is not there and the ears are Yoda. How's that? She's adorable.

    I don't think you need to go farther than Yorkie/Jack Russell. She probably had the tail docked, it's very rare for dogs to have no tail. Yorkies usually have big bat ears but they're hidden under all the long hair. You want to be really fancy, throw a "Part Papillion" in there.

    Maybe coyote and Yorkie. A Yorcote.

    She's adorable. Sounds like you might need the help at this website: http://fearfuldogs.com/

    Excellent advice there for dealing with shy, fearful dogs.

more fun and hi-jinks at RWA.

To the Board of Directors of the Romance Writers of America: It has been brought to our attention, by several of our romance authors, that your organization no longer considers Medallion Press, Inc. a legitimate publisher according to your guidelines. We were surprised we did not receive official notification directly, but instead discovered it was posted on several RWA internet loops. Accordingly, we request this letter be published in its entirety in the RWR Report so all members may understand the nature of the process that eliminated Medallion as an RWA approved publisher. We will also send copies of this letter to all our own RWA member authors. We are dismayed you declared Medallion Press no longer a legitimate publisher. In July of 2004 we met all of your qualifications without incident by showing sales of 5000+ copies of USA Today Bestselling author Nan Ryan's The Last Dance. Several months prior to Book Expo America 2005, we received a call from your office alerting us to ...

No snark. Bad puppy. No. (Review stuff.)

A two star Amazon review on His American Detective: "Bodice ripper about gay men by a woman." and I'm longing to comment "don't you mean a waistcoat ripper?" God, no. Stop me. The reviews rarely rattle me any longer -- except when I spot a truth in a bad one. When that happens, I actually lose sleep. This means I still care about writing.  Speaking of reviewers and writers: A couple of days ago, a writer said she was tired of getting white ladies writing reviews of her books. She had an excellent point in the long run: her stories are meant for a particular audience and she wants them to resonate with those people and get more reviews from them.  But that first line was just....horribly obnoxious. I say this from my POV of course. Not a white lady who writes reviews -- but as a review grubber.   Anyone who disses any reader (especially ones that give honest reviews) deserves to be cast into the pit of being ignored.   ...
