“Awwwwwwwww!!”
Don’t you love her? What a face! Just look at those big, soulful eyes. Who could refuse this dog anything when she looks at you like that? Melt melt melt. Love. ♥
OUTSIDE DOG AT DINNERTIME
Perhaps
if I scrunch my nose
a bit more
against this glass door,
you’ll hear my whimper.
Must I wail?
Maybe a knock with my tail?
No need for a plate.
I’d settle for scraps.
Perhaps?

I’m so glad Kristy brought Pepper to the Poetry Party! We had some Fat Cats here last week, so it’s only fair dogs get equal billing. Please come in, Pepper. You don’t have to stay outside. Oh no. Look what Kristy brought — chocolate!

Hello again!
What a fabulous booksigning Kristy had at Hooray for Books yesterday in Alexandria, Virginia!

Anne Marie, Kelly, Kristy, Kathy, me and Sara.
It was a lovely gathering of friends old and new, marked by screams of delight, lots of hugs, and homemade brownies ☺.

Hip hip hooray!
*cartwheels* *backflips* *high jumps*
WooHoo! Friends, we can hardly bear it, because today, Kristy Dempsey’s very first book, Me with You, is officially out!

Each new book is a miracle, but a first book is a very special cause for celebration. No matter how many books an author publishes, there is, and always will be, only one first book.
