Review:
Pam's previous boyfriend was annoyed at their Doberman Bob's behavior and told Pam "It's me or that thing!" She chose Bob. Now she's trying to figure out how to deal with Bob's separation anxiety and other issues.
Enter Tyler, Pam's next door neighbor, who agrees to spend time with Bob during the day (he works nights as a bartender) and help Pam train him. He'd heard Pam and her ex's fights and could relate to and respect her decision to choose her dog over her ex. He himself seems to have had some past relationship issues, and he now has a spoiled Shih Tzu who hates it anytime a woman is close to him.
Tyler and Pam start to feel drawn to one another, but they both have issues they'll need to deal with - Tyler and whatever happened with his ex, and Pam and her bad habit of easily falling in love.
I liked the art, enjoyed the characters, and thought the overall setup was cute. It reminded me of the start of a fluffy contemporary grumpy-sunshine romance novel.
Pam's friend Ann was the voice of reason. She and I were both a little horrified that Pam gave her apartment key to someone who was basically a complete stranger. At the same time, Ann seemed to think the solution to Pam's man problems was no-strings dates/sex, and I wasn't sure I agreed. Plus, Pam seemed to be incapable of that.
I enjoyed this first volume and look forward to seeing where the series goes from here.
Extras:
A few pages of additional artwork, a Pam paper doll page, an interview with Tyler, and a "which character am I?" flow chart.
