An excerpt from Sunny with a Chance of Happiness: An Unexpected Guest, Right on Time

George took a deep, nostalgia-laced breath, reached for his socks, and froze.

A rustling noise erupted from the trees and brush to his right.

Too big to be a squirrel.

Not big enough to be a bear, right? Anyway, black bears weren’t likely to be too aggressive this time of year. No brand-new cubs to keep an eye on like back in the early spring.

Still, George strained to listen and see, ready to head for the front door in a hurry. He’d heard the rumors about mountain lions still hanging on in an area they were supposedly extinct from.

Heard more than a few of those bone-chilling screams in the night, too.

When the brush finally parted, he let out a grunt and relaxed a little.

Not a bear or any sort of cat after all.

A dog burst out into the yard instead.
