The quaint little town of Mossy Creek houses many wonderful, warm "Creekites" as well as their delightful little critters. The owner of a coffee and bakery shop adopts a tiny Cairn Terrier to rid her shop and home of mice. A child begins speaking after an attachment to a newborn puppy stranded at birth when the momma dog dies and is rescued by the town's oldest canine resident. A widow sets up a Nanny-cam to discover her jewelry thief, who turns out to be her own beloved cats. A new mother achieves lowering her blood pressure when she adopts a stray mother cat and her newly born kitten. A sassy parrot has the vocabulary to rival any actor on stage with word and song. This sleepy little town consists of warmhearted residents dedicated to each other like one big happy family and their wholesome family life in this rural community.

I found CRITTERS OF MOSSY CREEK a delightful collection of short stories about small-town living where everyone feels safe and secure. The "critters" in the story are not merely pets, but family members. I loved having the perspective from the animals' minds as they become the masters and their keepers, the servants. Many of the residents are specifically portrayed in the story because of their unusual circumstances with their pets. This is the seventh book in the Mossy Creek Hometown series. I enjoyed reading the funny and amusing accounts of Mossy Creek, its residents and especially it's very unusual critters.
