Dial C for Chihuahua (2012)
“I asked Pepe as we drove away.
“I am sorry, Geri,” Pepe said. “It was just a natural impulse. Once I started, I could not stop. Has that never happened to you?”
“Not exactly like that,” I said.
“I will do better next time,” said Pepe.
“There isn’t going to be a next time,” I said. Mrs. Snelson had made it clear that we were fired. Furthermore, she was going to call Jimmy G. and demand her deposit back. It looked like my career as a private investigator was already over.
“Surely you are not goin...g to give up,” Pepe said. “What do you think would have happened if I had given up when they said a Chihuahua couldn’t participate in the Iditarod?”
“You never did that, Pepe!” I said.
“Of course, I did. I have done many marvelous things. More than you can imagine. But I would never have done any of them if I had given up when things got rough.”
“I am happy for you,” I said. “But that’s not my MO.” I’m the kind of person who always gives up when things get rough.MoreLess
