My writing buddies are Cali, my rescue cat, and Lemon Drop, my cockatiel that I've raised since the day she hatched. Keeping them both happy is a bit of a juggling act since they don't share the office at the same time. Cali prefers a quiet to lie beside me doing keyboard supervision, while Lemon Drop is convinced every writing session should include watching what I'm doing from my shoulder as she preens and even naps. Somehow, between the two of them, the stories still get written.
