  We would like to thank our brilliant editor, Patty Rice, for taking such good
  care of Fat Daisy, and helping her shine from the inside out. Thanks also to
  Katie Anderson, Julie Barnes, Diane Marsh, and our incomparable agent, Jenny
  Bent. We would also like to thank Rosanna Inc.
  ([www.rosannainc.com](http://www.rosannainc.com)) for their charming
  tableware, and Connie Alonso and her People’s Choice Thrift Store
  (770-537-0009) for her imaginative props and retro-doggie wear, not to mention
  the s’mores. Thanks, Mom! Finally, a very special thanks to our very own Fat
  Daisy, the smartest, cutest, and roundest Chihuahua in New York City, who has
  taught us so many important lessons about life and love and the joys of empty
  calories.
