When reading a story, do you enjoy when one of the characters has a pet? Do you feel like it adds to the story? I love adding pets to my books. A majority of my books have one in it somehow and I try to have the pet throughout the story. Some a little more than usual. And each pet is based off a pet I know or have. Moxy from Amber's Muse - my dear friend had just gotten her own puppy Boston terrier. And the puppy was so cute and energetic. It was perfect for the story. Toby from Accidental Love - I have a lab myself and we had just finished dog training when I wrote this one, adding bits and pieces of things I had learned. And if there has been a cat in the story, you better believe its one I have already - since I have six cats. I love reading stories with pets in it. I feel like it can add so much to a story, big or small. Pets add humor. The online book club I am in, we recently read The Best Man by Kristen Higgins. A golden retriever was featured though out this story. And Blue (the dog) really added some laugh out loud moments. Not to be too picky, but if you're going to add a pet, they've got to have some personality to be memorable. Got a favorite pet from a story? This is Zoey, you'll meet her in NOT JUST FRIENDS (Brookfield 3)

I LOVED Zoey! She reminded me of my cat Zoe so it was easy to picture everything she was doing. She seemed to have a great personality. Blue was not my favorite, lol. He was great for the first part of the book and he was really funny but he got on my nerves on the second half of the book. I love that you include animals in your books :)

I love putting pets in stories. I put all three of my dogs in my dog book. LOL. I think my favorite pet stories also revolve around dogs. There are too many to mention. I have an entire shelf of dog books on Goodreads. :p

Dogs add a lot of humor. Especially in your story, Mating Instinct!
