Goodreads asked Kate Titus:

How do you get inspired to write?

Kate Titus Dave the boxer mix with an underbite made it clear I needed to start writing. I met Dave at my PCP's office after his owner had died and willed him to my doctor. I came to the office to massage him (I'm a canine massage therapist) and help smooth the transition. He spoke very clearly to me and I felt driven to write it down. After that, I spent about two years writing vignettes for my blog about my experiences with dogs who came to my facility.

Travis, my wife's senior Tennesse hound mix, joined the family soon after I met Dave and he became (and still is) my muse. Trav has passed but he shows up at just the right moment, although I wish he'd select more convenient times (like not when I'm in the shower!)
