worked at an animal control center in Tampa, Florida, for two years and has a certificate in dog training as well.
    “Why’d she move to Ashton Falls?” I wondered.
    “She came here last winter to go skiing with some friends and fell in love with the place. She cashed in her savings, quit her job, and moved to the area just after the first of the year. She’s currently working as a waitress but would really like to get back into working with animals. She asked me about getting a job here when she first arrived, but we hadn’t reopened yet, so I told her that we didn’t have anything for her. She seems enthusiastic and eager to work. We’ve had several discussions about how to handle problem animals, and I think she’ll fit in with our overall philosophy really well.”
    “Sound s good. Let’s set up an interview.”
    “Actually, I was hoping you could talk to her today. If you have time , that is. I really think she’ll be great, and with Morgan on the way, I’d like to get someone trained so I don’t leave you hanging while I’m off on my daddy leave.”
    “Okay . Call her up and ask her to come in. Who else do we have?”
    “ Lilly Evan’s grandson Bobby is interested in the cleaning job. He can work weekends and every day after school, if we need him. He just got his driver’s license and seems motivated to earn some money to buy a car.”
    “I know Bobby. He’s a good kid. If you think he’ll work out , go ahead and have him come in and do the paperwork. You can get started training him right away.”
    “Perfect .” Jeremy smiled. “And last but not least, I only got one application from someone interested in the graveyard shift. To be honest, I’m not certain if this will be a good option or not. Two brothers applied and want to share the job, taking turns sleeping over. It seems they live together and figure that each will have their small cabin to themselves on the night the other is at the Zoo.”
    “Let me guess —Tank and Gunner Rivers?”
    “How did you know?”
    “Ashton Falls is a small town. It wasn’t hard to whittle down the candidates and figure out which set of brothers sharing a cabin might be interested in the job.”
    “They ’re a little rough around the edges,” Jeremy warned.
    Jeremy wasn’t wrong about the men being rough around the edges. Tank and Gunner were middle-aged twin brothers who worked together running fishing charters in the summer and doing snow removal in the winter. They lived in the same tiny cabin where they were raised. Their parents had died in an automobile accident when they were eighteen, and they’d stayed on in the cabin when they’d graduated high school. Neither had ever married, so both were still in residence. I’d need to look at the application to be certain, but I’d be willing to bet that the men were forty-five or forty-six.
    Both men had a tendency toward colorful language , but they did own several pets, and based on my experience with them, it seemed like they’d be good working with the animals we housed. We really just needed someone to be on-site in case of an emergency, or to tend to sick or injured animals we might house in the future. Tank and Gunner seemed like the type who wouldn’t be squeamish about a less-than-pleasant job, should one arise, so they might work out if we could keep them away from the customers we dealt with during the day.
    “ Let’s set up a time to talk to them,” I decided. “Anyone else we should look at?”
    “You can look through the files yourself if you’d like. There are other interested parties for the full -time position, but I felt Tiffany would be the best choice.”
    “Okay, I’ll talk to her , and we can take it from there.”
     
    The fact that I had to put my truck into four-wheel drive to get out of the parking lot at the end of the day was absurd. Yes, Ashton Falls is in the mountains, and yes, our weather can be unpredictable, but to have close to two feet of snow fall in
