Reader Mike Farley liked this passage from A Farewell to Arfs, the latest Chet and Bernie novel. (Iggy lives next door to Chet. There’s a whole short story all about him!)
“Is Iggy fast? When he takes off his little stubby legs are a blur but don’t let that fool you. I can run circles around him. But that was the problem. Somehow, he kept dodging me inside those circles. I was beside myself, beside myself all the way down Mesquite Road to the little playground. There’s a hydrant outside the playground. That’s where Iggy made his first and only mistake.”

I love the Parsons, and especially their little spunky boy, Iggy. He is the perfect best friend for Chet. I just wish the invisible fence fiasco had not happened. It interferes with their playtime!
Arrrrgh, Iggy me matey. Avast ye be haulin’ Chet to ye olde playground, arrrrgh.
