Grabbing Sgt. Maisy Moo, Doodle Poodle grabbed up an umbrella trying to keep Esperanza and himself dry. Esperanza read the detective crew in on some finer points of the counterfeits, and suggested they might like some help. Esperanza said that the reporters got a hold of the story and have splashed it on all the news outlets, so the perps might be pulling up stakes and moving on, so they need to work quickly!

Doodle, not the sharpest pup on the force, actually came up with a grand idea, of looking in the PetFashion Magazines, so that the team recognizes the actual products, making the fakes easier to spot. Maisy was amazed! Doodle asked if after they were done with the magazine if he could have it for the little "fire hydrant" room. Sarah face pawed and rolled her eyes.

The team got talking to the flamboyant parking attendant, L-ton, and realized they know more about fashion and designers than the team would ever be able to glean from reading magazines.

She doesn't see any familiar faces, so the team must keep shopping!

L-ton took the detective crew to the clothing shop Give-inchy, where even the clothes on the "clearance" rack are incredible, amazing and gorgeous, and more expensive than Sgt. Maisy Moo makes in a week! But L-ton, with sharp eyes, spots a few counterfeit blouses and suggests that they take them for evidence. Doodle Poodle, giving up one of his "special collection" bags, tags them as evidence, and sends them off to be analyzed for hair, DNA or any other evidence that will lead them to the perps.

OOH, L-ton! Those Fosster Grants look uh-maz-ing on you! cried Maisy!
"Dah-ling, of course they do! These are the real deal! But those, with the blue lens, those are knockoffs! Oh, and the ones with the yellow! Be sure to bag and tag those, and send them off to evidence". Doodle, not returned yet from running the blouses to the lab, had Sarah carry the evidence.

L-ton has boundless energy, Maisy and Sarah, not so much, and catch a quick cow-nap, while L-ton asked Doodle if he can smell differences in the paints on these gallery canvases.

Lounge suites and more! Who wouldn't want to inspect (and nap!) designer furniture?
A Chesterfield impersonation (2 seater plus 3 seater) is hugely comfortable, with a good warranty, and VERY affordable. Pseudo swede (polyester) modular curved 7-seater corner suite, that was super comfortable with good lumbar support (especially on the electronic recliner end seats). Or many other other 3 seaters - recliners - fake suede material - good quality leather - rocking chair - tables - sets of 3 cushions, or 2 - picture frames - lamps -------

Do not forget to carry a tape measure, warns L-ton, as you don't want to get your new sectional home to find it doesn't fit in the living room! Doodle, after taking some weight off, can't wait to jump on the furniture and nap! All this sleuting is, well, actual work!

Hey, L-ton, do people really counterfeit wine? asked Sarah.
"Whoo, girl! You are a HOOT! Of course not, but let's pretend, and sample the barrels just for fun!"
Sarah laughed and grabbed a goblet to taste, sipping and swirling like a real sommelier. Maisy took a pass on the wine, it's not good for her milk production. L-ton realized in the reflection in their sunglasses that they have a fan following them!

Esperanza is questing! Episode 15/25

"Uh, L-ton, what..what..are we doing down here in the dark?" stammered Doodle, not a fan of the dark.
"We're looking for clues, of course, silly! People who are engaging in illegal activities don't do it in broad daylight in front of anyone who wanders in! Are you sure you went to the Police Academy?" L-ton realizes that Doodle Poodle is a bit of an airhead. "Besides, I found a clue! Let's see where it leads!"

"Why. look here! This cute little squirrel is catching our breakfast right out of the creek! You'll love this once you get the hang of it!" replied Maisy.

Esperanza is questing! Episode 25/25

How did you figure the crime out? asked Sarah. "It was elementary, my dear!" replied Sgt. Maisy Moo. "I followed the clues, read the reports and realized we were being followed. And I thought it looked like Dawn Coreleeon, and sent some trace evidence to the lab, who confirmed it! So it was a matter of finding her lair and arresting her!"
Doodle and L-ton are excited to be rolling around in a pink caddy, tossing out some of the 20 Golden Moles that L-ton got for helping solve the case.
Why does the car look white? I thought it was pink? asked Sarah. "It's just like that dress on the interwebs a while ago, it depends on what light you look at it under" replied Maisy.
Esperanza said it was a great job by everyone, but it was time for everyone to head home, change pets and start a new adventure!
