Anyway, if you are a follower and reader of Jack’s blog, you’ll understand TG’s sense of humor as the owner of Jack the “cooperrish-foxish-yellow” Lab Dog . If you are not a reader to Jack’s blog (just like our friends who had permission to read Jack’s book) you’ll find TG’s stories about Jack very jocular and something to talk about.

In my early twenties is when I really started to channel my creativity and put my ideas to paper. I had a job at a call center and I would write stories in between calls.
My love for my Pugs coupled with their silly behaviors and mannerisms greatly inspired me. Anyone who owns a dog can appreciate how silly they can be and if you have two or more of them, the dynamics they share.
One day, through observing these silly behaviors of theirs, I noticed a big gray whisker sticking straight out of Anakin’s face. It was so funny because in the sunlight, it stuck out like a sore thumb.
Mae’s character was inspired by my Pug Izzy. Mister’s Character was inspired by my Pug Anakin. They say write what you know, and through observing the behaviors between them, this story was not a far stretch from the truth.
I came up with the title because I call Anakin my Mister and Mister rhymes with whisker.
Writing allowed me to be creative in other venues. I’ve become more receptive to other talents and skills while keeping my mind sharp.
For anyone for feels inspired to write something you feel is of great value or importance, write it! Enjoy it! And most importantly have fun while you are doing it.
Since the book was provided to us by the publisher(Bell Bridge Books), we were very surprised to received an email from the author, Leigh Brill. Here’s a snippet of her message …
“How lovely to find your blog and read the great review you shared of A Dog Named Slugger (my publisher forwarded it) Thank You!! The images of Sugar warm my heart.She is a beauty for sure. I am certain Slugger is wagging to know that you have helped us share his story and I’ll bet he loves the sweet pictures of her holding his book. I notice that Sugar’s eyes seem to sparkle with a light similar to that I so loved in Slugger’s.”
