IF OUR PETS COULD TALK

My name is Templeton, and I’m 10 years old.

IF OUR PETS COULD TALK

I know, I know, I’m named after that ridiculous rat from CHARLOTTE’S WEB. It is an indignity I have long suffered. So on occasion, when my fathers aren’t looking, I pee in their slippers. It’s the little things.

When I’m not paraded around the neighborhood like a Royal Lippizanner Stallion by an overbearing father, I enjoy riding in cars with boys. Mostly, I’m trouble.

On the topic of treats: Once I was mad for Beggin Strips. But through the years, my palate has matured, and I am a slave to vodka cocktails. Ketel One Cucumber Vodka with a zero-calorie citrus mixer. Refreshing and kind to my waistline.

He is the proud owner of Robert Gwaltney whose debut novel, The Cicada Tree, hits the shelves on 2-22-22.

Congrats to your dad, Templeton and have a vodka cocktail on me to toast his success!
