Laura Patricia
She's talking to herself again…

I am happiest when I am busy, so I have started a new side project!

When I joined Twitter, I followed all the key dog press outlets in the UK, hoping they would update regularly and that I could get all my canine news from them.  However, none of them tweet half as much as I would like them to, despite there being a lot going on in the world of dogs.  This is probably because they are busy putting out papers and magazines, writing high quality articles longer than 140 characters in length; but I get most of my news from a Twitter feed these days, and I know other people out there do too.

Hey again.  We’re exactly one week away from Crufts now, and I have some exciting news: I am actually going after all!!  My wonderful parents kindly offered to pay for my accommodation and transport, so I will be treading the boards of the NEC on Saturday and Sunday and hopefully getting to watch the Toy, Utility, Gundog and Best in Show judging live in the big arena.  I have been three times before – once with poor old Dad (2005), once with poor old Ross (2007) and once with Claire (last year) – but this will be the first time I am going all by my lonesome.  Still, I cannot wait; I have a list of things I want to do and see, and am off tomorrow to buy the dog papers for their supplements so I don’t miss out on any big events or whatever.  I know, I’m a dork, but I don’t care.

I have written an article about why exactly I love Crufts and which are my favourite bits, which you can read here.

There are plenty of other exciting things happening in Laura Land at the moment. (more…)

Hey again.  I know it’s been a while since I blogged, but I have been busy playing about with the website and trying to get the other sections filled out and so on.  I hope you all have a look at my articles and fiction, and keep an eye out for some more new stuff which should be going up over the next few days.

In the meantime, I want you all to open a new tab in your browser, go to Google, and search for me – “Laura Patricia”.  (more…)
