Already ordered. Alas, can’t save the Chihuahua. Guerilla marketing at its best, Robert!

Thanks, Sarah! Much appreciated. Ozymandias, or Ozzie, as we call him, will have to live with the consequences. 🙂

Congratulations, Robert! The book looks great, but I have very little money now and am unable to buy it until things improve financially. Keep that adorable Chihuahua close! 🙂

As they said in the Godfather, ‘Kill the poet, take the chihuahua. ‘
Congrats. Can’t wait to read.

Ha! Thank you, Jan. The Godfather reference is particularly relevant, as our female Chihuahua is named Apollonia, after Michael Corleone’s first wife. 🙂

Ha! He is a good humored dog who wants nothing more than to snuggle on someone’s lap. The photo was from three years ago. He’s twice that size now. A real moose!
