Dog: yes, of course, that makes sense. Kelpie’s are incredibly smart and good natured. Beautiful dogs. Writing: I’ll look at that now. Thanks! Enjoy Vanuatu. Sigh. x

I’d get a rescue dog but we really need a dog who’s smart around snakes and can chase the kangaroos from the vineyard without hurting them, and respects prporty boundaries etc. Hence the Kelpie. We are off to Vanuatu in a week and then the hunt for a pup will be on. Here’s a facebook page from the wonderful guys at The Writer’s Studio you might like.

Thanks Donna. It’s a good quote. I cling to the idea of bird by bird too. (My favourite book about writing is Anne Lamott’s Bird by Bird.) Keeping an eye on your blog to see when/if you get a puppy. We bought Badger from a farmer in Ballarat, but Milly came from petrescue.com.au. I like cats but a dog on a farm…it just makes sense:) x

You’ve probably heard this quote about writing a novel a million times but for me it always takes the fear out of it… “I[Writing} is like driving a car at night. You never see further than your headlights, but you can make the whole trip that way.”
Hope you find your way back to your novel.

My heart goes out to you – waiting is horrible! He sounds like a challenging friend to have around, but your story made me cry. It’s obvious how loved he is.

Maybe they’re not all as strong-minded as Badger. He’s the only Cairn I know. I’d recommend you meet the parents if you can – wishing we’d taken a bit of time to do that. However, despite whatever traits I’m calling flaws he’s part of our family and I love him dearly. Thanks for your kind wishes, and good luck with your dog hunt.

I fell in love with the look of the Cairns terrier sometime last year – never been one for small dogs, but apartment living has made me try to adapt. Now Badger’s personality is making me reconsider!

Still, sounds like he has a pride bigger than his heart, and I kinda love that!

Hope he comes home soon.
