At the moment, the most spoiled and beloved doggie in the universe is curled up at my feet and you’re asking me if I have a pet!!
Yes, I do, and he’s an almost-two-year-old Havanese black and white cutie pie named Quincy (also known as Sir Quinkles) who has his own carseat, wardrobe and ‘doggles’ to wear when he’s in my convertible. Makes my kids nauseous but they’re teenagers so who cares??? Since we got him, he’s appeared in every book I’ve written (starting with The Memory of Water). He is the first dog I ever had and I can’t believe how attached I am to him! He sits next to me in my chair when I write and whines when I don’t give him enough room in the chair to hop up. The best part about this breed is that they’re ‘hypo-allergenic’ meaning he doesn’t shed or smell, and his coat is like silk. If I were a Cruella D’Evil, I’d say he’d make a pretty nice coat. A very small one, of course.
We also have two guinea pigs, Cappucino and Mocha (Frappucino and Latte have since moved to the parsley field in the sky).
Karen White is the author of the literary fiction novel, THE MEMORY OF WATER (NAL Accent, March ’08). You can visit her website at www.karen-white.com.

Love the havanese! Our Lola comes to work with us every day (we are Realtors) ! My husband and I have had several dogs and other pets over the years but Lola is far and away our favorite! Qunicy is a Q T Pie!
