Dr. Horatio vs. the Six-Toed Cat (11 page)
Albert hugged her a moment, and then pushed her gently back. “Here now. Dry your eyes. This is the way it's supposed to work. We've done our job. And we've done a good job with all three of our kids. Now it's our turn.”
With a mighty sniff, she looked up into his face. “Our turn to do what?”
A wolfish grin appeared on the familiar face. “Chase each other around the house, maybe?”
The answer was so un-Albert-like that she laughed. Trust her husband to say exactly what she needed to hear. When the laughter died, she was left smiling at the man she had loved for more than half her life.
“I hope Alison and Nicholas will be as happy as we have been.” She rose on her toes to place a lingering kiss on his cheek. “I love you, Albert.”
“It's a good thing,” he replied. “I think you're stuck with me.”
Laughing, they looped arms and headed toward their car.

It's ten years after the Fall Festival and Doc's skirmish with the six-toed cat, and Al Richardson is perfectly content in his Goose Creek, Kentucky, home. The village is charming, the neighbors are friendly, and retirement is only three years and sixty-three days away.
But changes are right around the corner for Goose Creek. Al's wife, Millie, is hatching a scheme to renovate an old Victorian eyesore and open a B&B. The new veterinarian is mystified when her only patient is Al and Millie's smelly dog. And folks are starting to take sides over who should give the water tower a new coat of paintâ¦an issue that might just lead to an illegal parade.
Retirement or not, Al is about to get a lot busier than he bargained for.
A delightful, quirky comedy about a small town with a big heart.
