Teddy and Napoleon

So what's the deal with Teddy, anyway? Well, it just so happens that Teddy is the bright spot in Jillian Bradley's life. He's her constant companion, and I do mean constant! Where ever Jillian goes, Teddy goes - wearing a red-rhinestone collar and matching leash. Jillian carries her Yorkie companion in a cheetah tote (a gift from Celeste Osborn, a character in the first book) to hotels, restaurants, and art galleries. Teddy goes with her on a cruise, to church on occasion, and accompanies her and Detective Walter Montoya as they investigate homicides.

    Although a solo character in "Murder in Half Moon Bay," Teddy makes a new friend in each of the books that follow. There's Lila, the Maltese in "The Ghost Orchid Murder," Ambrose, the mastiff in "From the Clutches of Evil," Goliath, the cat, in "The Mark of Eden," and Fancy, the apricot poodle in "Pacific Beach." And in my new book, "Waiting for Santa," Teddy must play host to Jillian's dog-nephew, Napoleon, a young pug puppy.

Here's an excerpt from 
"Waiting for Santa."

  Sydney rescued Napoleon from the laundry room and brought him in to play with Teddy. Teddy tolerated Napoleon’s being a puppy, but looked at me as if to say, “How long do I have to puppy sit?”

   “Now Teddy,” I said. “It’s Christmas Eve so behave and don’t worry, Napoleon is still young—he’ll be asleep soon.” 

   Teddy didn’t appear to be convinced. He sighed and lay on the floor, tolerating Napoleon trying to wrestle with him and chewing on his ear occasionally.
