“Good idea,” Lillian said.
Mark raised an eyebrow. “Was that a compliment, Lillian?”
“Don’t get used to them reporterman.” Lillian lifted Saber in her arms and stood up. “Come on, reporterman, let’s go to Harriet’s Café and get some cookies and drinks for everybody while these young people go back to working hard.”
Mark pointed to himself. “Aren’t I young too?”
“Humph. We’ll be back,” Lillian said over her shoulder. She marched out the door with Mark right behind, throwing a salute to Bruce.
“Well, we better get back to work,” Shelbee said as she and Jac stood up.
Robert stood as well and said, “I’ll help you.”
I leaned down and pet Paw’s head. “You’re a great detective, boy.”
Bruce stood up and came to sit next to me on the sofa, placing his arm around me. “He is a great detective.”
Paw chuffed his agreement but continued with his bone as did Samuel and Bitsy.
Bruce squeezed me. “You really sure you want me to move in? I know I sprung that on you fast.”
I snuggled in next to him. “Yes, I do.” I leaned up and kissed him. “It’ll be nice to have you around the house, but are you sure you’re okay leaving your apartment?”
“I’ve never been more certain of anything in my life.” He hugged me close and kissed me. Hopefully, our futures would run as smoothly as this moment.
“Woof.” Paw must’ve been thinking the same thing.

About the Author
Sandra Baublitz is a lover of all animals. She has always loved dogs and cats. A Dog Detective series originally began as a contest entry. Paw’s creation was influenced by the Beethoven movies and the author’s desire to own a Saint Bernard. The author never got the opportunity to own a St. Bernard and her current cats will not allow a new edition. Ms. Baublitz expresses her love of the breed by continuing to write about Clarissa and Paw and their mystery adventures. She hopes her readers enjoy reading them as much as she enjoys writing them.
