George Knows (Magical Drool Mysteries book 1)
by Mindy Mymude
An egotistical magical basset hound named George believes it's his duty to train and protect his 12-year-old Girlpup, a greenwitch named Karly. He and his Girlpup, must solve a murder as well as save their park from being developed. George is the perfectly designed familiar for the job.
About George:
George's website
I am a four year old magical basset hound. My Peeps call me George, but my real name can only be pronounced by other dogs and familiars. Most of my time is taken by my Girlpup, Karly, a witch-in-training. When I’m not smelltasting important peemail or helping Karly and Auntie Heather, I can be found sunning on the porch thinking about important questions (like, where’s my supper?).

Mindy Mymudes runs with the Muddy Paws Pack in Milwaukee, WI. She insists she is alpha, even as the dogs walk all over her. She hunts, cleans the den and keeps them entertained. When she can escape the pack, she enjoys digging in dirt, listening to audiobooks, and weaving the antics of the pack into stories. The alpha male, Tall Dude, just shakes his head and stays out of the way.

Interview: George the Basset Hound and Mindy Mymudes The Lady With The Hands + dog gone good giveaway
Sharon: Welcome to I Smell Sheep guys! I invited Baaart to sit with us. George, do you like sheep?
Sharon: *moves Baaart behind her*
Sharon: I guess the most obvious question is “What does George Know?”
George: (With an affronted look). I know everything important. And my nose knows the rest.
Sharon: Mindy, has George changed since he got a book about him? Any Diva behavior?
Mindy: (Glaring at George) George was a diva when I met him. I was working on an article for Dog Fancy when instead of training tips a story formed under my fingers. Assuming it was about my English Springer Spaniel Pack, I went with it. By page 3 George went nose to nose with me and told me quite clearly he was no stupid spaniel. Spaniels will do anything for a treat, no matter what. He was a thinking dog, a basset hound, a perfectly designed familiar, who was teaching his 12-year-old witch-in-training named Karly. He calls her a Girlpup.
Sharon: Hey! I have a Cocker Spaniel and she doesn’t do anything for a… oh, wait. Never mind.
Sharon: George, what aged kids will enjoy your book? Should people go out and buy a copy for their local school library?
*Baaart starts to tremble at the thought of The Horrible Hodag*
Sharon: *confused* What is The Horrible Hodag?
George: It eats Peeps and leaves their bones. I found them. <Shakes head, drool flies, hits walls, chairs, Sharon and sheep>. Bassets are not supposed to taste Peeps’ bones. Peeps’ get us cow bones. <Eyes Baaart>
Mindy: Don’t even think it.
Sharon: *wiping Basset drool from her face* George, where is your favorite place to dig (dirt, sand, grass)?
George: Depends on what I’m digging for. My big paws and strong claws are digging machines, allowing me to tear out rabbits from their holes. Rabbit? Are there rabbits here? RABBITRABBITRABBIT! (Smelltastes). There aren't any rabbits here? Didn't you just tell me there were rabbits here?
*Sharon looks at Mindy, then back to George* No?
Sharon: George, Not many parents understand pre-teen girls, but you deal with Karly on a daily basis. Have you learned anything? Got any advice for the parents of pre-teens?
George: I don’t think Girlpups get their brains until they are very old. Like Packmom, or Auntie Heather. Sometimes, if she needs to see something, I’ll drag her by her leash. Like typical Peeps, she never looks down, so I’ve been known to trip her. I don’t like the stinky stuff she puts under her arms ever since she had the 12 candle cake, so I stole it. My advice to parents? Don’t let them off leash unless they’re in a fenced in area.
Sharon: Who knew a Basset Hound could give such great parenting advice. Thanks!
Sharon: George, What is your stance on baths? Your ears are long and beautiful. Are they hard to keep clean?
George: BATH! AROOOOOOO! Uh, got to get going. A witch to teach, a Hodag to catch. Nice to meet ya Sharon. Baart. (Runs off in a rolling gait)
*looks over and realizes she has ignored Mindy* oops!
Sharon: Mindy, Was it hard writing from a dog’s POV?
Mindy: I was trying to answer questions for Dog Fancy. The pages turned into a story. I assumed the dog in question was an English Springer Spaniel, like my pack.
George: (Looking around for a bathtub and ambling slowly back) She didn't write it. I did. All she had to do was act as my hands. Keyboards are not designed for perfect basset hounds. I had a story and her mind was open to it. And you know what ass u me means. Why would I be a stupid dog with long furs that get tangled in stuff? They’re called feathers, but they can’t fly. And they’ll do anything for their Peeps for a treat. Not like me. I don’t do stupid stuff. I still get treats.
Sharon: So you have her trained pretty well? Does she work for treats like stupid spaniels <G>?
George: She has to be related to her stupid Muddy Paws Pack. Seriously. She’s always eating. Except sometimes she says she’s on a diet. Whatever that is. I offer her Tuna Fudge, but she just makes gaggy sounds. She doesn’t need to work for treats. I offer her my magical drool and the privilege of petting me. That’s magic, too. Petting me, or I guess any dog, makes blood pressure go down. My witches are green - they are healers.
Sharon: Mindy, What is it like to have George’s voice in your head? Does he pop up to give advice at unexpected times?
Mindy: Irritating. Sometimes I’ll listen to my iPod just to get things done. Besides, if he gets ahead of me, it’s hard for me to remember what he said.
George: This is why Peeps need better memories and instincts. That way they wouldn’t need books to learn from.
Sharon: Mindy, when you aren’t writing what do you like to do?
Mindy: I love to garden, and was a professional gardener. I also run the largest dog genetics list for breeders on the Internet. Somewhere here I have a degree claiming I have a Master’s in biology. I also have some of the top-ranked obedience springers in the country. I train my own dogs, and instruct at a local club.
George: I try to teach her about dogs, but do you think she listens? She’s a terrible student. The Lady With The Hands has no idea what to do with the leash. The dog is the one with the nose and knows where to go, so why does she teach the Peeps they are in charge?
Sharon: This is for both of you. What is your favorite snack?
George and Mindy: (Said at the same time) Snickerdoodles.
George: And liver brownies and tuna fudge.
Mindy: Gag.
Sharon: *gags along with Mindy*
Rapid Fire (you both can answer or just one of you)
Sharon: left or right?
George: Huh?
Mindy: Depends on which is the hardest way.
Sharon: cake or pie?
Mindy and George: Both!
Sharon: Coke or Pepsi?
Mindy: No thanks. I can’t drink anything carbonated. I like hot tea, especially Chai.
George: Toilet water. If I can keep my Peeps from peeing in it. They don’t housebreak easily.
Sharon: O_O okay, moving on!
Sharon: tree or fire hydrant?
George: For Pee-mail, trees. There are more of them.
Sharon: do you send a lot of Pee-mail?
George: How else would I know what my fans are saying? More importantly, I have to know what’s going on in the neighborhood; strange things are going on in the woods.
Sharon: spring or fall?
George: When are there more rabbits?
Mindy: Man, I’m a gardener. I like the fall harvest, but hate winter. So, I guess spring.
Sharon: geese or chickens?
Mindy: Our city now allows chickens, and with two acres, I’m thinking getting a few. Geese aren’t very nice.
George: (Ears prick) We’re getting chickens?
Sharon: beach or mountains?
George: Climbing or getting to swim? Get reals. Why would any self-respecting basset climb a mountain. Unless there are rabbits. <Looks around> Are there rabbits? Rabbitrabbitrabbit.
I don’t smelltaste any rabbits. Are you pulling my leg?
Sharon: Sorry George, we have a dragon in the dungeon and a rabbit wouldn’t have a chance around here.
Sharon: woof, woof or bark, bark?
George: Aroooooo! You must admit I have the most beautiful bay in the world.
Sharon: ball or plushy?
George: No doubt about it, I love my balls.
Sharon: rollercoaster or carousel?
George: What are those?
Thanks George and Mindy. This was an eye opening interview. Is there anything you would like to say before you leave? And George? RABBIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
George: RABBIT? RABBITRABBITRABBIT! AroooOOOoooooOOooooo
If you want to know more about me, and of course you do, my story George Knows, will be out in December, 2013, published by MuseItUp.
