Why Every Writer Should Have a Dog -- Guest Post on Angie Derek's Blog - Tasty Reads Blog Tour
1) They are great vacuums. You won’t have to take a break from writing when your sandwich falls on the ground. Although you will lose your lunch.
2) They are great listeners, although their advice is not the best.
3) They never talk back. Like children.
4) They never ask for money. Like children.
5) They will force you, in the worst weather, to get outside and exercise. Mudding trails or dark paths? No problem. Your dog will remind you several times a day that it is time to get outside.
6) They force you to talk to other people. Even when your mind is consumed with plot points, your dog will run up to other people, pee on their picnic and force you to apologize and explain how exactly he got off his leash.
7) They become the family therapist. No matter how tense the situation, a good dog can always bring levity to the matter at hand, forcing even the most stressed out person to smile.
8) You never have to cook for them although they will ask you for dinner about 75 times a day.
9) You never have to write alone. Your dog will listen to plot points and character development ad nausea, as long as you are holding a hot dog.
10) Friends may come and go; some will disappoint but a dog remains true blue and always happy to share your life.
11) And last but not least, a shelter dog will always know that you picked him or her out of all the other dogs and will remain truly grateful.
