Cookie, The Pet Sitter: The Gobs of Pets Caper

As a retired teacher and widow, Cookie Lane needs something more to keep her active and interested in life. But what? A new adventure in pet sitting seems to fit the bill, but she wasn't aware of all the pitfalls and predicaments she could get into. After a couple of trial runs, she was ready for the big league. The 'Gobs of Pets' ad in the newspaper looked promising and would provide good experience and finances. But when she arrived, Cookie was astounded to find she was in charge of gobs of pets: three dogs, four cats, two chinchillas, a goat, a rat, a macaw, two parrots, and two cockatiels in a well-to-do neighborhood. This was going to be an adventure of a lifetime -- she just didn't realize how adventurous it would be.

Thieves break in, duct tape Cookie to a chair, and steal expensive furniture, paintings, and the rare birds. She'd seen the robber's face and her life is threatened if she tells anyone. Will she go to the police anyway? Will she tell Brad, her new admirer who's come into her life unexpectedly? Does she dare trust her friends -- or anyone? Will Cookie find the birds and expose the robbers, or will Brad have to save her life and reputation?
