Beatrice life is quite literally headed for the dogs. What, with her failing dog business the statements been taken to another level. It doesn't help that her health guru of a best friend seems on bent putting an end to her rapidly growing weight and addictive eating habits which she has no time to fix. Between trying to finish her self proclaimed epic mystery novel and solving the case of Mavis Moons exercise cult. (If Mavis Moon doesn't put an end to her first.) Not to mention her neighbors distractingly attractive nephew Ash (Ketchum as she prefers) who seems to be right on her tale on The Mavis case. Yep, Beatrice's life is most definitely going to the dogs.
