Little Bea sounds like a perfect read for today's weather.
ReplyDeleteTHE YIPPY, YAPPY YORKIE IN THE GREEN DOGGY SWEATER reminds me of a time when my aunt moved to an apartment complex and her yorkie terrier ran off. She found her a few days later at a neighbors house who had been caring for the dog. My aunt and her neighbor became good friends after that.
ReplyDeleteThe description of Little Bea is giving me an inkling for some hot chocolate on this chilly Sunday!
