While working out in front of the TV this morning, I caught a segment of Regis and Kelly about dog grooming tips with a “shi-shi” pet groomer. The insanity that Regis experienced while attempting to wash a fairly docile and receptive dog, had me in hysterics.  And guess what? This appears to be the reaction my readers are having  to Ethan’s antics with his bargain dog washing business. Readers of all ages  are chuckling aloud over the chaotic challenges and tensions faced throughout his devious covert plan to own his very own Frenchie. It warms my heart that readers are finding the book hilarious and experiencing some belly laughs. (I can only imagine the reaction of anyone who has attempted to groom their own dog or is working in the pet care business!)
