If you love dogs, if you love Christmas, you will love this book about an aging pug named Teddy Roosevelt, and his very human 'family.'

All she wants is a settled-down life.

What she gets is a dog—and a whole new normal . . .

There he stood in the doorway: overweight, depressed and nearly homeless—a pug named Teddy Roosevelt. Teddy was Brydie Benson's latest problem, arriving on top of her messy divorce and sudden move. Brydie needed a place to start over, so this rent-free home seemed a great idea. She just never counted on Teddy, or his owner, the Germantown Retirement Village's toughest customer, Pauline Neumann.

And because rent-free doesn't mean bills-free, Brydie gets a night-shift job at a big-box grocery. Whoever guessed there were so many people who wanted baked goods after midnight?

Then, she gets an idea—why not combine her baking skills with her new-found dog knowledge? And so her store Pupcakes is born. Along with a new start comes a possible new love, in the form of Nathan Reid, a local doctor with a sassy Irish Wolfhound named Sasha. And as fall turns to winter, and then to Christmas, Brydie begins to realize that life is a little bit like learning a new recipe for puff pastry—it takes a few tries to get it just right!

      Brydie Benson is trying to start fresh in Memphis, TN, after leaving her cheating husband. But walking away from her marriage also meant giving up her house and bakery. Needing a cheap place to live, she agrees to house-sit an elderly pug named Teddy when his owner moves to a nursing home. She quickly warms to Teddy, and a business idea is born when she discovers the dog is a fussy eater and starts to bake snacks for him. Teddy also turns out to be a great way for Brydie to meet the neighbors, especially Nathan, the cute owner of a mischievous Irish wolfhound. By Christmastime, Brydie has found a new community of friends and love in unexpected places, with a little help from a finicky pug. VERDICT Fans of Noblin's canine-themed tales (Sit! Stay! Speak!; Just Fine with Caroline) will beg for more.
