Writer’s Block Stymies Dog Novelist

Noted dog novelist Sparky has been struggling with a wicked case of writer’s block for the past week.

“He has everything under control,” said his publicist Eugene Williams in a statement. “He’s been doing some free writing to get back on track and I have every confidence that he will deliver his pages on time.”

The block couldn’t come at a worse time for the pup, who just signed a high profile, three book deal with Random House. The first, a memoir titled Yes, I Ate the Homework: Confessions of a Dog, is scheduled to hit shelves in June.

Dog Accidentally Knits Wrong-Sized Scarf

When Hopscotch started knitting his first scarf, the dog was completely thrilled by how quickly he figured out how to knit and purl. He was doing so well, that he didn’t want to stop.

“He went a little overboard,” said close friend Sidorela Hoxha. “He was just so excited, and his stitching was so good, I didn’t have the heart to stop him.”

Hopscotch – who is himself only about 15 inches long – ended up knitting a scarf that was closer to four feet in length. 

“It was way too big for him,” said Hoxha. “But it was beautifully made. I’m hoping he’ll just let me have it and knit another for himself.”
