Arya and I see it as justice served. Arya also mentions that imprinting eventually weakens when the hooman is evil as was the case here with Finnegan. All's well that ends well, Heidi.🕊🦜🐦

Thank you Perry & Arya! We are really down the home stretch with the story now. Arya has offered us invaluable insight and wisdom all along the way. We still have much to learn from him. Thank you so much.:)

Oh my goodness, Critters and Miss Heidi. This is Emily. We hounds and cats were sitting on the edge of our seats reading this. We were so scared that Chris and Jasper wouldn't be able to rescue precious Star in time. Good work, Critters!

You Critters did a great job with Nefarious Perp! Well done! Emily, William, Travis, Julie Rae, and Stanley the Cat (who has returned home from living in the forest for the past six months)

Thank you Emily and the entire Bowersock Critter Household! Speaking of being afraid of heights, can you believe the courage of the J Kitten, Sleuth & Purveyor of Bright Shiny Objects Detective Agency at the lighthouse? Incredible! We've all been pulled back from the brink and look forward to sharing the next 2 concluding chapters with you.:)

Thank you, Michael. I’m adding this wonderful Haiku to the collection with April’s contributions to the story. I really like the issue of reincarnation here!

Awesome Chapter and ending Heidi. I love that line about the Pacific and it being anything but that. Great to see that the crew worked together to help Star recover safely.

Fantastic! We're planning on a second book in the New Year and hope you'll stay tuned for it. Lots of fun. Btw, I saw Lesser Scaups at the pond in the park this morning. A first.

A wonderful chapter Heidi—and two more to go! So very exciting. You and the critters keep whisking all of us around mysterious corners!

Heidi Zawelevsky's avatar

Thank you, James! We have a few more corners and then the Critters will succeed in writing their 1st Detective Story in four months. Who knew! Thank you for staying tuned and looking forward to more posts from you, too. Btw, I saw a few Lesser Scaups in the pond this week. They seem to have displaced the American Wigeons.

Thank you, Kristin! It's so encouraging to hear your impressions of Clementine and Petal as heroes. We luvluvluv them. Do you think they should become recurrent characters in the detective series? Question mark. Question mark.

Excellent! We might send them to Boot Camp or Officer Training School in the New Jersey Pine Barrens. From there, the world! Thank you, my friend.
