Stephen King’s Welsh Corgi a best-selling author

Stephen King’s Welsh Corgi, Arfy, has done it again.
​              His short story Bite ‘Em in the Butt, first published in The New Yorker, won the coveted Peeker Award; now his novel Bowwow Up the Yingyang is topping New York Times bestseller lists on its way to Hollywood and major money.  
          “It’s no big deal,” Arfy told this reporter modestly as we lunched yesterday at Manhattan’s popular Four Seasons.  “Both of Steve’s sons, Owen and Joe, had books published recently.  Of course those boys don’t need to mess with agents or other pedestrian crap; Daddy’s name does the work for them.  Both their books suck big time, oboy do they ever!  But it doesn’t matter how rotten you are, only how well-connected.”
            “Where do you get your ideas, do you mind my asking?”
        “From the infinite greatness of my own mind,” Arfy chuckled, wolfing down a caviar-laced pop tart.  “I thought I was at my peak brilliance in Bite, but Bowwow is really making those Hollywood moguls sit up and take notice.”
            “How long did it take you to write Bowwow, and did you use Steve’s computer?” 
         “Yes to both questions,” nodded Arfy.  “If I’d been a Rottweiler it wouldn’t have worked so give me some credit here for sleight-of-paw Darwinian adaptation as a solution to an environmental problem serving a functional purpose—much as long-necked giraffes began having more offspring because of phylogenetic inertia, know what I mean?”
        “Er,” I said.  “Yes, more offspring would really do the trick.  But tell me, when is Steve’s daughter Naomi coming out with her first novel?”
           “Don’t ask me, I don’t give a damn,” Arfy snarled.  “We writers are a jealous lot and if she gets published it’s only because Steve is her Pop; aside from that she has no talent whatever.  Now I, on the other hand—”  
           A brush fire cut our interview short, but we hope to tap Arfy for the next installment as soon as his singed fur grows back out.
