Dog Show: Emily, Tippy and Boswell

frequent freelance writer Jen Miller has some help in the form of her Jack Russell terrier, Emily, who likes to crawl into her lap while Miller reads and writes.

Lorra Laven‘s two year old Labrador retriever has some serious ambitions: becoming a professional model (just look at that danceclub couture he’s wearing!) No stranger to hard work, “Tippy fetches the morning paper and keeps the grounds free of (most) rodents. His first encounter with the resident skunk, however, was less than successful. Undaunted, he scours the nearby woods, always on the lookout for that distinctive white stripe.”

And as for Susan Higginbotham‘s cairn terrier Boswell, “He’s scruffy, he’s sweet, and he’s written his own book via blurb.com. What more can you ask?” What, indeed?
