Other than cuteness, not much to report. I’m working on a beta reading of a friend of a friend’s work and concentrating on it’s kind of interfered with my own writing. Or, perhaps more honestly, I don’t really feel like working on my own stuff at the moment. When I’ve got the reading out the way, I’ll warm up on a blog post on language (hopefully sometime this week or next) and then get back into some fiction ideas. I think the Gens idea has run away and decided not to come back but I have other projects I wanted to get back to and a few newer, smaller ideas I should probably work on if I expect to submit them to the anthologies whose submission requests prodded them into life.

A Hellhound Princess? That doesn’t sound good!
It’s the “pink” bit that currently upsets me more. *sigh* I’m sure I’ll get used to it. Or make sure she chews up the collar and lead at some point.
I would say you could train her to attack pink, but I don’t think dogs can recognise it…
She looks so comfortable in that photo! How’s Hellhound Snr. taking to her?
Well, I don’t need to teach her to recognise pink – just to play with her collar and lead when she’s teething
Hellhound Snr and the princess haven’t met yet. FInn has been enjoying sniffing my clothes when I come back from Sam’s and we’re going to start exchanging blankets so that they can get used to each other’s scent.
Who could resist a puppy in a pose like that? Must say, I’d prefer a Hellhound to a Pink Princess anytime. Hope Hellhound Finn can save the day.
