Famous Authors with their Furry Friends

Chester, my Boston Terrier, is snoring like a lumberjack on the couch, and all the talk about Pinterest this week has inspired my nonsense today. Here are some photos of famous authors with their cats and dogs (which I will pin as soon as I publish this post).

Are you a cat or a dog person? Or an animal lover in general? I'm pretty much a dog person.

Talk to you soon,

  1. Such a lovely post! Right now, I am a guinea pig person (we have 2 really rotund and awesome piggies right now)! My husband and I are dog people, but animal lovers all around.
