Critter Chaos At Brindle Creek: Book Thirteen (The Golden Years Gone Wrong 13)

Critter Chaos At Brindle Creek
Book 13 of The Golden Years Gone Wrong Series
“Every Gate Was Open. That Was The First Mistake.”

Brindle Creek has spent months preparing for the First Annual Heritage Livestock Festival, the biggest celebration Alder County has ever attempted. Hundreds of volunteers arrive early. Ranchers bring their finest livestock. Tourists fill every motel, campground, and parking lot for miles. Charlotte Bell has organized every schedule, every demonstration, every exhibit, and every volunteer assignment with military precision. Sheriff Colton Smith has a traffic plan. Kevin Dorsey proudly supplied “bargain” livestock fencing. Earl Forester made a few “improvements” to the gates. Everything has been inspected.

Everything is ready.
Everything is about to go spectacularly wrong.

It begins with one distracted volunteer... one missing set of master containment keys... and one clever little husky named Sneakers who decides keys are far more interesting than following the rules. Donna the goat immediately recognizes opportunity. Rock the Appaloosa stallion mistakes the growing confusion for a parade in his honor. Amanda the mule discovers the single worst place in town to stop moving. The Goose appoints itself Supreme Commander of Main Street. Meanwhile, Harley D., Lilly Lou, and tiny Abby Gail become absolutely convinced they are leading an organized emergency rescue operation, despite nobody realizing the Yorkies have declared themselves in charge.

Within minutes, goats, pigs, horses, cattle, llamas, alpacas, poultry, and bewildered tourists are spreading across Brindle Creek in every direction imaginable. Traffic grinds to a halt. Fences become meaningless suggestions. Volunteers accidentally rescue the wrong animals. Children proudly chase livestock they named only an hour earlier. Nobody can agree how many animals escaped because nobody can agree how many animals they started with.

As the entire county races toward glorious catastrophe, Sheriff Colton Smith discovers there is no emergency manual for a goose directing traffic, pigs hiding behind food booths, tourists joining livestock roundups, or retirees who become dramatically more confident the less qualified they are. The only thing spreading faster than the escaped animals is the growing certainty that someone, somewhere, should probably have counted the goats.

Packed with unforgettable characters, nonstop escalating disasters, laugh-out-loud situations, and the warmth of a community that never quits on one another, Critter Chaos At Brindle Creek delivers the biggest, funniest, and most heartwarming adventure in the series. Just when you think the town has finally regained control, another gate swings open.
