Nice to know!! So excited

Haha! Our terrier mix and shepherd mix are certainly selective, too. They hear "treat" without fail, but "down" or "no!" don't always register. Raggs is such a cute name!

I LOVED getaway with Murder. The second book can't be published soon enough. Can you write any faster? ;-)
