Short but interesting. She's writing a children's book, and a song to go with it!

That's fabulous. I'm excited to hear what her song will sound like.
She really does do everything, doesn't she?

Thanks. The book sounds a bit like that Doey Do-it concept. I wonder who's writing the music--she certainly knows a few musicians...
Interesting that she doesn't seem to like touring, or being away from home; I guess it is lonely out there.
That Key Largo event disappeared quickly from her calendar, I think it's probably a private concert of some sort. (Ocean Reef Cultural Center, Jan. 27)

I looked up Ocean Reef and it sounded like it was a very swanky private club. I think that upcoming concert (Saturday night) is just for the members/residents. She performed for them at least once before, a couple of years ago.
Jean, it's possible that she's writing the music as well as the lyrics. A lullaby implies that it's fairly simple. We'll just have to wait and see. I'm very curious.

Another thought: if she enjoys the writing process and finds it fulfilling on this project then she may go on to do more writing of different kinds. I think that would be great!

Wow, I would have completely missed that if you had not put that here, many thanks. It is touching to continuously see how dedicated she is to Barks. She pretty much says that her first impetus for writing the song herself is so that she could guarantee that all of the proceeds would go directly to the animal shelter.

Lovely to read that interview. I love how she says she likes to be at home with her animals. It sounds like she has written the words and music of the song. I bet it will be beautiful.
I wonder which dog she means? The boy or the girl?
as Bernadette says....just keep moving on.....

I don't think it will be Kramer - I just can't imagine a little doggy in a children's book being called Kramer. Now Spot perhaps....
they say bernadette's wonderful..........and she is

I'm betting it's about Stella. She mentions Stella's history often, and it does sound like story material, as sad as it is.
Thank you for finding this, Karen.

Yes ... the thought occurs that it could certainly be advantageous if it turned out to be Stella. Pit Bull Terriers get such a bad press and could do with being the subject of a warm tale --- sympathetically told.

Reminds me of that little letter she wrote to Stella (Piggy) in that pet book--I'll find it later.
Oh say, here's the story--the little dog --or pig--that was saved, grew into a strong and courageous big dog--or a pig--, and then....
ok too early

This is the letter Bernadette wrote to Stella, as published in a book (I don't know the name of the book, it was something like NYC Pet Project):
===
"Dearest Darling Stella,
You enrich my life 10 fold! When I'm away from you there is a big void that I feel, making me realize how healing having pets are! Thank you for that!
Your kindness to little dogs when you crawl up to them to kiss them is another part of your personality that is a wonder!
I know you were abused when you were little - but the choice you have made to be kind and loving makes me very proud.
Thank you for all the love you give everyone!
oxox
Bernadette"

I sometimes think that people who have lived their lives with especially good karma get to be reborn as one of Bernadette Peters's dogs (or cats). They certainly seem to have better, more enviable lives than most humans ever do.

Jean, thank you for copying out Bernadette's letter to Stella. I love the word "choice" and the context in which it is used. It reinforces my own belief that these special creatures who enter our lives as our pets are free-thinking little individuals, each and every one.
