The class was asked to look at the pic and write a story that involved a secret and maybe a mystery? Anyhoo that was Paulette’s original story which took on a life of its own while researching for the assignment. The idea for this book came about while Paulette was taking a creative writing course and her teacher showed the class a picture of two women back in the 1890’s. She is donating all proceeds from her book, “The Persecution of Mildred Dunlap,” to a no-kill shelter in Ventura county, California. Paulette and her husband Terry have been involved in dog rescue for about 28 years or more. I initially saw this video on Paulette Mahurin’s blog. Cats are so bold and have no problem going to sleep on one of my dog’s bed or in a favorite chair. It is cute for sure and I’ve had the same thing happen in my house with a cat or two who seem to love the smell of a dog’s bed and thus find it more appealing than a bed of their own. I hope whoever drops in will find this video worthy of a look. Most days there about 2-3 visitors and that is just “plum pitiful.” I figured I had better throw something out lest this blog site totally dry up. Of course that has nothing to do with this video that I think is so darn cute. I’ve had back and forth ID problems as I’ve attempted to determine 2-3 butterfly species. I’ve been working a bit at a time since my days are filled with so much pet care and I have little time and energy left after 8pm when I am mostly finished with pet chores for the day. This is an aside and has nothing to do with my lazy way out till I finish work on a long post.
