Robert created a course for writers at Writers’ Village University (WVU), which he facilitated. He also facilitated other courses at WVU, and helped establish a Creative Writing Workshop at WVU.
Robert is working on a book about breaking into freelance writing.
Robert built a website where he offers his services, and maintains five blogs. Today we are going to feature his kids blog which features animals. Here are some excerpts from http://kidsandanimals.wordpress.com/
Is your dog or cat left-handed? Just like humans, cats and dogs can be either left or right-handed. Did you know that? Not many people do. This could be a chance for you to learn more about your pet. Take a toy and see which paw they use to play with it. Do they use one paw more than the other?
As you interact with your pet, you will be building a greater bond and learning more about the animal family member in the process.
Pets are also like humans in other ways besides preferring one hand over the other. Pets need stimulation to be healthy emotionally. They also need exercise for healthy muscles. Good food and water is only a small portion of what everyone needs, including your furry family members.

Awwwwww! That puppy is so dang cute with his little fuzzy bear! (That's a big as he is!)
Great start to the day, Kathy! Thanks.

I never knew that animals have a dominant side.
:-) Interesting.
Thanks for stopping by my blog yesterday! I am now following you. I never thought about animals being right or left pawed. My daughter has thought about it; she says her cat tends to use both paws equally. Happy blogging in the A-Z!
Love the pic. Since horses are right and left sided, I figured all animals were, but I was delighted to find someone who agrees!!
Great post!
Wow, I don't own a pet but that info was so interesting!
I will be asking my friends with pets if they know if they are right or left handed.
Robert, you are a many wondered kind of guy. I didn't know about the kid side of you! And thank you Kathy for letting us know!
And, Lana. I agree. Cutest picture of the week, that pup with his toy.
Best,

What a cute little puppy. It was worth coming over just for that. Have a great day!
I'll have to see if our dog is right or left-handed. Great tips, and it's always handy to have a list of toxic foods to avoid, too, as some of them aren't so obvious.
Robert, I'll have to check out our dogs to see if they are right pawed or left pawed. Thanks or the really interesting info.
I'm a member of WVU-- what courses did you create?
Love this article. I am so glad you wrote it. FIrst I am checking to see if my dog is right or left-pawed. Then I am sharing this with the teachers at work. Great ideas. Nice blog.
Terrific post! I knew cats and dog are left or right pawed. Interesting!

Wow I never knew that about pets! Thanks for sharing that.
What a fun blog post and such a creative way for us to learn a few things I didn't know about Robert and pets.
I didn't know that about dogs and cats. I have two cats and one dog. I'm going to try it out.
