Characters: Terry Boot, Susan Bones Date: January 15, 2005 Place: Susan's office Summary: Terry goes to see his loving girlfriend about his missing dog. It goes downhill from there.
When Terry came up for air from his latest arthmancy theorem, he discovered that yet again, his dog had deserted him. This highly unusually thing had been happening more and more frequently. It was starting to concern him but as he did know where he was likely to find the wayward pooch, he managed to keep from fretting.
After locking up the cottage, Terry strolled up through the snow to the village and down the street to the local private eye's office. He knocked briefly and let himself in. "Miss, do you take missing dog cases?"
