Heartbeat, increasing heartbeat, you hear the thunder of stampeding rhinos, elephants and tacky tigers. This town ain't big enough for the both of us! And it ain't me who's gonna leave!

#dogyard is back with our last editor interview for a while. Over the next week, we'll be posting some fun stuff and hanging out! Even if you hate my lame interview, please take the time to thank our editors and those that helped get us here. It's been a blessing and so much love all of our mutts!

It’s a tale of light versus darkness, of reclaiming destiny, and of the quiet power of love and legacy. Perfect for fans of C.S. Lewis, Isabel Allende, and Joanne Harris. #Review www.amazon.ca/Snow-Queen-S... www.amazon.com/Snow-Queen-S... www.amazon.co.uk/Snow-Queen-S... #christmas #books2read #ya
