Good morning from the Pacific Northwest

The first snow of the season (OK, there were a few flakes yesterday) is falling right now. I'm not used to the snow yet, this is only my second winter here, but it sure is beautiful!

I'm a writer and artist and I have a whole little pack of critters. Five little dogs and two cats. While most of them are actually my daughter's pets, since she lives with me -- well, you know how it is!

I write online informational and how-to articles for several websites. I'm also working, very slowly, on a small cookbook, a book on spiritual matters, a Science Fiction novel and an epic urban fantasy. I also have a book website and a Facebook group.

Oh, and I'm a hockey mom!

So, having introduced myself, let me introduce the poopies...

From left to right, front to back: Romeo (aka Scruffy - some kind of wire-haired terrier mix), Picasso (mix), Prince (Chihuahua), Lily (rat terrier) and Tiffany (as in Breakfast at Tiffany's - Miniature Pinscher).

The cats, hey, they really don't like their pictures taken. Mistiq and Rajah think I'm staff...

So that's my little pack of four legged critters.

And it's snowing harder outside. Glad I don't have to go out until 5pm!

Hello PMom, welcome to be here!
Very cute picture. I see you have a nice family of five dogs there. Are any of them related?

Do you keep any other pets beside these dogs?

What "how to" do you write? Is it about pets by any chance?
