My own idea, but mythology is full of talking dogs.
The idea was born out of a desire to give my young Remus a penpal and star-crossed lover. It was originally suppose to happen in the story I'm writing now, Return to Sender, but new canon from OotP changed the focus of that story slightly. Other factors needed in that plot bunny have pushed it into the next novella, Deliver Us from Evil.
That will give me time to brush up on my photoshop and HTML skills as well, as that aspect of the story, the penpal romance, is an homage to one of my favorite series, "Griffin and Sabine". If you've never read those little books, they are basically the correspondence between two people. The catch is that you get to open the letters within the book. Each character is somewhat of an artist and designs their own envelope, paper etc. Its all very beautiful and gives the reader a connection to the characters that really lasts the test of time.
