It's A Dog's Life

This is a NOVELLA of approximately 24, 000 words = 70 odd pages. It's the first day of Ninna's job in the local animal shelter...and a dog is talking to her. Not just any dog...a fat, old, smart-alecky Basset Hound who says his name is Mosey. She can't quit, she needs this job. And then there's the yummy vet. Who turns out to live across the street from her. His house is big enough to hold a few animals - including the mouthy Mosey.
With all this going on, she doesn't have time to worry about the rash of break-ins and the sense of being watched. She's too busy worrying that she's nuts. When Ninna agrees to dog sit for the cute vet from work, she sees it as a trial at being a pet owner and a way to build on her budding relationship with the vet. For Mosey, this weekend means time to get to know each other. For the stalker who's tracking Ninna's movements, it means...opportunity.
