I hold a hardback copy of “The Bookshop: A History Of The American Bookstore,” by Evan Friss. The cover is a front window of the quintessential indie bookstore with an emerald green front and trim, glowing lamps illuminating stacks, shelves, and stands of books. The author and title are written as though stenciled onto the from window we are looking into. I hold the book in my left hand over my lap to lessen the glare. Dark navy blue jeans peek below and a bit of my beige waffle shirt and a beige linen tablecloth sort of frame the warm green tones of the book. To the right of the book, my tiniest roommate, Winnie the Bichpoo, has stretched to her fullest height which is around my knee and peeks around the side to look up at me in quiet concentration… willing me to find and throw her beloved ball. She is an equally beige fluff to the tablecloth and my shirt with dark little button eyes and a deep brown button nose.

Stepping away from the current novel into this cozy read about the most dreamy bookshops. This is my preferred fantasy genre. 😂

A very close up photo of a mini Poochon which is a mini poodle crossed with Bichon. Screen is pretty full with warm gold poodle fur, black almond eyes that wonder why I woke her, a black button of a nose near camera that is winter faded to brown in the center. The front “arm” she was laying on has a paw sticking out showing an up close of the bottom of a puppy foot. Little black toe beans in a bed of gold curls. A red holiday blanket makes up the rest of the foreground.

8 pounds of dog in my face does not appreciate a camera in hers… 🤷🏻‍♀️ 🐶 🐕

A very tiny tan BichPoo (or Doodle) sits on a pale pink waffle weave blanket on an unmade bed in evening lamplight. A ball sits in the foreground and to the left corner of the shot while she does a very nice sit with her head tipped a bit toward the ball. She looks directly at the camera waiting patiently for me to remember it is my turn to make the ball go. Her name is Winnie, aka Winnie the BichPoo aka 8lbs of Tan Lightning.

Mother, I believe you owe me a messaround. 🐶 🐕 🎾
