Character Profile
Muffy
Muffy, Penelope's pink poodle in the Serpent's Egg trilogy, was based on my miniature poodle which I inherited from my mother.
The real Muffy was a bad, bad dog. My entire household, including my Golden Retriever Finnigan and my Black Labrador Retriever Montague were terrified of her.
We had to wear hockey gloves to pick up Muffy.
Once, Muffy ate a dozen popovers and a pound of butter.
Muffy died in 1998 at the age of eighteen.
