A Dog's Life by Dale Mayer which was a laugh out loud book.  A woman who has never owned a pet starts her first day working as a secretary for a vet.  The first day jitters, coupled with a hectic zoo like atmosphere at the vet's leads Ninna to believe she is losing her mind.You see, Ninna hears voices.  Okay, more like just one voice.  The voice of a dog, named Mosey.  Mosey is a plump canine of the Bassett Hound breed.  A bit rotund, a bit snarky, but dog love 'em, he is so much fun.Ninna has spent countless hours and dollars with mental health professionals and pharmaceuticals to stop these voices she has been hearing much of her life.  It has been sometime since she last heard the voices and she cannot believe it is happening again.While all of this is happening, we discover that there have been a number of burglaries in Ninna's neighborhood.  What Ninna is unaware of is that this thief has a special interest in her.  He's been watching her through her curtains and is becoming increasingly agitated as he realizes he has changed his routine which has kept him from capture for so long.Stuart is the good looking vet who lives across the street. He brings home animals who need a little extra TLC.  This wonderful looking vet needs a dog sitter, and Ninna is trying to decide if she wants a dog or cat and so Stuart offers to allow her to stay at his home to care for the dogs.  Nothing can go wrong...right?!  Wrong...it does, and in a big way while Ninna is still listening to Mosey as he tells her he wants gravy.  More gravy.  "What, no gravy?"  Sorry, channeling my inner cartoon character.I won't tell you anymore because I do not want to give the story away.  The ending will surprise you, in I think, a good way.This is the third book I have read of Ms. Mayer and I must say, it is my favorite.  Dale writes wonderful suspense romance, but this romantic comedy just really has it all.  I hope to read more RC's from Ms. Mayer in the future.  She is fast becoming one of my favorite go to authors to read.
