What a wonderful question about pets, Naan! I think authors are notorious cat people but I also think an equal number of them adore their dogs. I was writing ONE NIGHT OF SCANDAL when Buffy the Mouse Slayer came into my life. I was suffering from a little bit of writer's block but she brought such a sense of fun and delight to my life that I soon found myself inspired. She would never let me write for long but would pounce on my keyboard or insist I stop and drag the string around for her. She's almost 4 years old now but she has continued to make me smile every single day :)
