I do the same thing with my former real estate clients, if you can believe it. If one of my dogs sleeps through my grabbing the keys before leaving the house, while the other two run for the door (well, it’s more like “toddle” to the door) I’m Johnny-on-the-spot, looking at the sides of its body for signs of exhaling and inhaling.

If we were to meet this author/business owner in person, we would, as gracefully as possible, point out how very, very wrong she is.
