Really Been Cold!

Boy, it has really been cold here! I hate going outside when it is this cold and it isn't even winter yet. I do have a little coat, but it takes so long to get into it and out of it, and my feet still get very cold. Oh well, we don't stay out long. Then, I have to get out of my coat, but I am really glad to have it when I get outside. Oh, well, it sure is nice and warm in our apartment. We even have a gas heater that is wonderful. I guess we will manage okay. More tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Proof Copy Looks Good!

The proof copy of Hear What Your Dog Says! looks good at first glance, so after we peruse it once more, we will order the book to be published and available at Amazon.com. I want you to know that my photo, this one, is on the back of the book where the authors are listed with a little blurb about them. I belong to one of the three authors, My Lady, who is really Linda, and she takes the pictures of me, Gabriel, and Dragon Hawke for the blog, sends them via the computer to Great Lady, LaVerne (a.k.a. Bunny) and she is my amanuensis, doing the writing for me as I tell her to do. Therefore, my blog address is on the back of all their books. Great Sir, Thomas, is the business manager and final editor of this trio, but he doesn't have anything to do with the blog. He is not too fond of computers even though he can use them. The trio sure do produce good books, especially this one about dogs. It is getting really close to being fully PUBLISHED FOR SALE! Give them another few days for the final reading, but it really looks very good. I think it is ready, but they have the final say. How exciting it is. I want one book to be sold because then they will be PROFESSIONAL AUTHORS! You do know that you can be an author, but selling a book for money makes one a professional author. I don't do too much with writing the books, but I sure do tell people about them and about the terrific authors. More tomorrow! Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Gabriel Says, "I am Waiting for Thanksgiving!

Gabriel is very excited about Thanksgiving coming because we have heard that Son J and his wife V as well as their boys, Aston and Damien, will be coming next week. I was in dread the first time they came, but now we are all looking forward to it because the boys are older and no longer chase Gabriel's tail and try to hold me all the time. They are really fun to play with and they love our toys. My Lady also makes special food and has good treats for everyone, so I especially like that, too. I am in the center of attention so I look forward to that fun, as well as Gabriel does. I think they will be here by Wednesday of this coming week. Looking forward to that. Love from Gabriel and Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Dragon Hawke with a Toy!

I have been very busy hearing about the books. The dog book, Hear What Your Dog Says! should be here soon in proof format. Then some final editing has to be done and hopefully the final book will be published. I am patiently waiting, but Dragon Hawke is just not as involved as I am. He is chewing on a toy. Of course, I am more involved with the writing of things;whereas, he is more "cat-like" and likes to play rather than work with his mind. I will say though, he can be very canny when he wants to be and clever about figuring things out. He is the creative one while I am more involved with the writing. Got to go. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Two Books Done!

Can you believe it? My Lady, Great Lady, and Great Sir have finished writing two books to be published! They are now waiting for the final proof copies to be sent, and if they are okay, they will get the books printed and done to be on sale at Amazon.com. If all goes well, I will let you know when that occurs. Right now they are ecstatic! I am sure you can imagine how exciting it is for the three of them. You know that My Lady is the creative one in the partnership and comes up with the ideas and most of the dialogue, Great Lady is the editor and writer for publication of the manuscripts, and Great Sir is the business manager and final editor of the books. They really work well together and have several more books as well as two more volumes for each of the books they have written already almost all set for the final editing.They will work to send for their proof copies, too, if the first ones sell at all. Well, it has been pretty hectic here for the last few days with all the phone calls and final decisions. My Lady has always wanted to be considered a "professional author" and now she is one. I can't wait to see a copy of "Hear What Your Dog Says!" and a copy of "Crossbreed" on our coffee table soon. Tell you more about them in the near future. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Playing with My Good Toy!

I love to play with this neat toy. My octopus is getting much smaller, but it is still fun. It used to be a real octopus with eight legs, but you can see the legs have all come off and only a few of them are left in pieces. They are a tough rubber and hold together pretty good, once they came off the head part. Maybe My Lady will find me another octopus some day, but I still have fun with this one's legs. I can shake my head and flap that leg around real good, growling all the time. I am so tough! Many toys are too big, or too hard to hold in my small mouth. And some are just too delicate and tear to pieces so easily that they are not a challenge. This one has been great for a long time, too. Great Lady brought me that nifty shocking green one that squeaked. I was so excited about it, but it didn't last any time with Gabriel. He had the squeaker out in no time and there was the green cloth with no insides at all. What a disappointment! The octopus has been my favorite toy for a long, long time. More tomorrow. Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.

Now It Is My Turn!

Now it is my turn to get brushed! I don't mind it at all because My Lady can use a softer, bristle brush on my silky fur, and it just shines. I love to stand and let her brush my fur because it doesn't get as matted and tangled as Gabriel's does, and it sure isn't as thick as Dragon Hawke's. I am easier to bathe and much easier to brush, so you see, a Yorkshire Terrier is really a great dog to have, and a Teacup Yorkie is really great. I am small and just darling, if I do say so myself. Well, we can have a nice day today. We dogs take it slow while My Lady and Great Sir go to church. Then, we all watch football and have a very pleasant time together. A great day! Love from Kheldar, the Yorkie.
