I've had a HRFL Tiger story accepted!
A while back, I wrote a post about Tiger and Bonnie. Someone here
suggested that I sent it to "Smarter than Jack", an organisation that produces books with true animal stories to raise money for animal shelters. I did submit the story, then promptly completely forgot all about it. In my IN-box today, I recieved this..... "Thank you for submitting your story for the SMARTER than JACK series. We would like to include your story as part of our special book, Cheeky animals are SMARTER than JACK, which will be published in June 2006. It will be published in North America under the title 91 smart sassy animals. The decision on which stories to include was not easy; we received many entertaining stories covering a range of cheeky animal antics. However your story stood out." I AM SO CHUFFED!!!! This was the story.... "Sneaky Tiger I had come back from walking Bonnie, my dog (and the bane of my cat Tiger’s life). Without realising I hadn’t shut the front door properly, I went and made a cup of tea. The cats are absolutely not ever allowed outside the front of my house because the road can be very busy, so of course Tiger has made it his life’s ambition to see what is out there. I was drinking my tea when, out of the blue, Bonnie came running into the kitchen and barked at me. Then she started whining and tugging on my trousers with her teeth. As this was not her normal behaviour I went to see what was wrong. I got into the hall, just in time to see Tiger sneaking out of the front door, which was slightly ajar. Bonnie went after him and tried to herd him back into the house with her nose, whining all the while. To say Tiger was annoyed that he had been caught was an understatement. He gave Bonnie a look of pure loathing, slapped her on the head and went off upstairs in a right huff. I, on the other hand, gave Bonnie a big cuddle and told her what a good girl she was. My dog is not nearly as dumb as she makes out she is." I get a complimentary copy of the book in June, when it's printed, and there should also be a couple of photos alongside the story of Bonnie and HRFL, as I emailed them with the authorisation form. Quite made my day. Helen M -- Posted via Mailgate.ORG Server - http://www.Mailgate.ORG |

Congratulations! I know just how you feel. I once had a poem published in a country mag in the UK (and got paid for it!!) and it went on to be published elsewhere in US & South Africa. It's a very nice feeling when others appreciate your writing, isn't it? Tweed |

Its a sweet story and I'm glad it will be properly appreciated. We are
starting to have a version of this around here. Kayla is starting to know I can't hear properly so she lets me know when one of the cats wants in. And she is starting to try to keep them in, much to Jake's dismay. Molly just ignores her. So I'm getting to have a assistive dog. Now to teach her not to let me know about ghosts and shadows and other things of her imagining. We spent an evening alone together last week and she was rather too helpful.
