What do you do to you spoil
your pets? My husband and I
spoil them every day. They ride in the back seat of the car where ever we go.
They get treats from the bank teller when we go through the drive through. They
love looking out the car window at the scenery and at people. All we have to
say is "ready to ride," and they are ready to roll. They're just like
little kids. They also sleep with us and love a pillow.
What treat will your pet
practically knock you over to get? They love chews and almost any treats! They jump for them.
What food item will your pet
turn up his/her nose to?
Luke will eat anything. Lena is a picky eater over most foods.
What is your pet’s favorite
thing to do? Go for a ride!
They also love running on the back of our property by the barn.
What is your pet’s LEAST
favorite thing to do? They
won't swim in our pool. They don't like it.
Do you talk to your pets?
And if so, do they answer? Yes!
We talk to them every day. They understand most things we say. It's cute when
they turn their heard trying to figure out what was said. But yes, they talk
back with many sounds and movements.
Is the dog in your story
in To Fetch a Villain based on your dogs? I include Luke and Lena in my Mutt Mysteries
stories, but my main dog characters are Cagney and Lacey, two Yorkshire
Terriers. They help solve crime and murder.
Where did you get your idea
for your story? I love
walking my dogs so I made my protagonist, Catt Ramsey, the owner of the
Woof-Pack dog walkers. I then added Cagney and Lacey to help her solve the
mystery.
How long did it take you to
write your story? Generally
a couple of months to write the story, then it has to go through a couple of
edits before it's ready for publication.
What makes your pet’s tail
wag? Seeing us.
What makes your tail wag? Seeing them.

Meet my protagonist Catt Ramsey and her pups Cagney & Lacey who help solve crime and murder in the Mutt Mysteries series!
ReplyDeleteLuke and Lena sound like terrific real-life dogs. Catt Ramsey's Cagney & Lacey help Catt in her investigations into misdeeds. Does Cagney or does Lacey ever cause trouble at the dog walker office? Inquiring minds want to know. Maybe one doesn't get along with a client's dog?
