Who is in the photo at right?

Katherine Bouton & Maxie
Who is in the photo at right?
That's me, Katherine Bouton, and Maxie, on a trip to Martha's Vineyard last summer, looking windblown. Maxie is two-and-a-half in this picture, a Tibetan terrier. Tibetans are not really terriers, and Maxie is not a typical Tibetan. He weighs 38 pounds and can outrun dogs twice his size.
I'm a writer and I"m also very hard of hearing. My book Shouting Won't Help,

There's nothing like cuddling up to a sweet Miniature Schnauzer. I'm Pat Wahler and this handsome guy is my best buddy, Indy. We've been together for quite a while. He'll be 13 years old in March. I won't tell you how old I'll be.
