Almost Wordless Wednesday - 122

I'd like to announce the launch of a brand new blog here in the blogosphere.

Dogspeak's blog is my Uncle Charlie's blog, and for today's Wordless Wednesday I'd like to introduce you to his video project that focuses on Emma, a German shepherd who communicates easily with her human companion, John.

That's Emma and John in today's featured photo.

Drop by and say hi to a brand new blogger.



Ms Snarky Pants says Good Grief! That is pretty darn amazing!

Nikki says Awesome! Emma is so cute!

Geraldine says How adorable!

Thursday Thirteen - 54 - 13 of My Favorite Fictional Couples

I'm taking a one-week break from my book review Thursday Thirteens. I had to get a writing submission ready for a competition which I passed in on Monday, on my lunch hour. That didn't give me enough time to read the book I won from Amanda Ashby - You Had Me at Halo.

I'll be reviewing that next week, however, so make sure to stop by and find out why it's been nominated for a Romantic Times Reviewer's Choice Award.

This week I'm featuring 13 of my favorite fictional romantic couples.


1 - King Leonidas and Queen Gorgo from 300
