KRISTAN HIGGINS

I’m a dog person, and so most of my books have a dog in them, just because I think life without a dog is pretty lonely to contemplate.

FOOLS RUSH IN: Digger, Black lab mutt, utterly devoted to his owner. Enjoys Cheetos.

CATCH OF THE DAY: Colonel, noble and aging Golden Retriever. Enjoys lying on beds, rolling in dead things, peanut butter.

JUST ONE OF THE GUYS: Buttercup, half hound-dog, half bull mastiff. Enjoys men, belly rubs, frequent napping and pizza.

TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE: Dog: Angus McFangus, West Highland terrier. Enjoys eating trash, chasing raccoons, world domination.

THE NEXT BEST THING: Fat Mikey (Cat). Enjoys instilling fear into the hearts of mice, eating on the dining room table and snuggling with the upstairs neighbor.

MY ONE AND ONLY: Coco, Chihuahua/Jack Russell. Enjoys manipulation and travel.

GOOD LUCK WITH THAT: Admiral, an elegant greyhound. Enjoys teenage boys, yoga and cuddling when his owner needs it the most.
