CAn't you just hear him snarking on about Tom and Ray, and 'This American Life' (both of which I love, but I can imagine Sev simply not suffering through either on. He might get the humor on 'Wait, Wait Don't Tell Me', though.) It was fun thinking about about Sev on NPR programming.
I love writing dogs into my stories. I think Harry is very much a dog person, though I'm not sure about Sev. He'd merely tolerate them. Dogs have a magic of their own, and Labs in particular. Raphael is a good dog. Mary Anne was created to shake Harry up just a little. And to protect them.
Thank you so much for reading, and especially for your very kind comments about my little story. I love the Games and writing for them.
