We are having a bit of an issue with Elsa because she keeps wanting to bark at the puppy in the mirror.

Music soothes the Savage Beast – AKA – Elsa, the Music Snob
Elsa is a little trying when traveling in the car. She tends to get nervous and barks because she thinks that someone should be comforting her through the entire trip.

Once again, not being patient enough to wait, when I heard that Book 8 had arrived in Butler, NJ, I figured that the copy traveling to Norfolk, VA must also have arrived.
