Recently Sara discovered either the pup or Cannon had bit Ham (short for Hamilton). The boy never cried out, so the first she knew of the incident was when Sara bathed him.
Vic scolds Cannon and Arroo when she learns of their misbehavior. She reminds them that Ham is a member of their pack, and since he will soon be larger than either of them, he will be able to protect them later in life.
Later, when talking to Tubs, she asks if he thinks they might have bitten the boy because they thought he actually was ham, which is their favorite food. That is exactly what Tubs thinks happened.

When the pot has too many cooks a feast can be ruined, and that’s exactly what happens with Xavier and Vic’s new cases. Each proves more complicated than initially thought with criminals dropping out of the sky, wreaking havoc upon Xavier, Vic, and their excellent employees. By the end, Vic threatens to open a school that teaches criminals how to stay out of each other’s way.
Worse yet, a treasured member of the staff is shot in the heart while attempting to save Vic and the Queen’s cousin.

Vic sighed heavily as she collapsed onto her carriage seat and stared at Tubs seated opposite her. “Being a parent is hard work.”
“I think you’re doing fine,” Tubs said.
She frowned at him. “Why didn’t you tell me my pups bit yours?”
He shrugged. “It didn’t even break the skin. Boy’s got to be tougher than that.”
“Well, I don’t wish him to have your childhood,” she muttered.
“Not even possible living with so many happy, good people. Ham will grow up to be a good man.”

Liza O’Connor was raised badly by feral cats, left the South/Midwest and wandered off to find nicer people on the east coast. There she worked for the meanest man on Wall Street, while her psychotic husband tried to kill her three times. (So much for finding nicer people.) Then one day she declared enough, got a better job, divorced her husband, and fell in love with her new life where people behaved nicely. But all those bad behaviors has given her lots of fodder for her humorous books. Please buy these books, because otherwise, she’ll become grumpy and write troubled novels instead. They will likely traumatize you.
You have been warned.
