The Married Writer

Happy Saturday, weekend blog readers.  I hope you are chilling out max and relaxing all cool and enjoying all that your weekend has to offer you. For your weekend reading pleasure I am so excited to introduce you to Rebecca from The Married Writer.

1. Tell us about your blog, The Married Writer: What do you like to write about? What do you hope people walk away from your blog with?
I grew up planning on being a singer/songwriter. Most of the inspiration I drew on to write songs was relationship drama or breakups. Now that I’m married, I’m learning to find writing inspiration from other aspects of life or just about how happy marriage can be. I’m hoping people walk away from my blog with a smile, a laugh, or feeling like they can accomplish anything they set their mind to. I’m also hoping my marriage is an example of how beautiful marriage can be, because I think too often TV, movies, or the news, portray marriage as something that just doesn’t work. As a child of divorce, I know I thought that at one time. I’d love to show my readers the opposite of that perception.


2. Give us a brief intro on your dogs, Penguin and Bella.
My dog Penguin is a very large black and white Pomeranian. He hates rain, getting his feet wet, having to go outside, and any moments he’s not being cuddled. He loves cuddling, napping, and cuddling some more. Basically he’s terrible at being a dog and very good at being a napping partner.

Bella was my husband’s dog when we met. She is a goofy, loving and adorable black lab. She loves everything Penguin hates and is great at being a dog.



3. How did you and your dog meet? Who doesn't love a good meet cute story?
I’m obsessed with penguins and one day I decided I needed a dog. At the time, I was single and wanted someone to cuddle with. I looked for dogs online, specifically a Pomeranian at shelters within 100 miles of my house. I found one at a shelter that was named Penguin. I knew it was fate. I drove an hour and half to pick him up and when I got to the kennel he was the largest, ugliest Pomeranian I had ever seen. His hair was all matted and stuck out two feet off of his body. I felt like Lilo picking out Stitch. I immediately said I would take him and we have been inseparable ever since.

Bella was a fabulous perk that came with being with my husband. I swear I didn’t just marry him for his dog.

4. Describe your perfect day with you dogs. 
A perfect day with the dogs would be an afternoon spent napping and watching TV while cuddled up with Penguin on the couch, until Bella got super bored and we had to take the dogs out to play ball. Penguin would just stand there confused and Bella would run and jump up and down while Penguin tried to figure out what this whole, “play” thing was all about.

5. How do your dogs factor into your blog?
Before I met my husband, Penguin was my main man. I ran everything by him and told him all my stories. I still tell him stories, but my husband gets to proofread, because let’s be honest, Penguin can’t read. I love to use the dogs to practice my photography and I’m pretty sure 90% of my Instagram is animal photos. The husband and I also made the dogs pose for an engagement announcement when we first got engaged. They are such great little models.



6. What is the funniest/worst/confusing thing you have ever seen your dogs do?
Bella likes to lick our cat’s face and her tongue takes up more than his whole little head. It’s hysterical. And one time Penguin tried to pee standing up on just his two back legs. I swear he’s trying to be a human. Maybe that’s why he’s terrible at being a dog.

7. What would you name a blog that only featured your dog?
An Igloo For A Penguin
