This of course is my very own, my baby Nookie, who is about 11 months old and who shares my apartment and every once in a while, gets so needy to bite my fingers that she’ll try to catch them off the keyboard when I’m writing. Of course she only does this when I am deeply engrossed in a story – now she’s still calmly lying on her scratching post, watching me (she always knows when I’m talking about her, she’s a wizard).
