Query: A little dissappointing

I've read many of the Susan Conant books, but this one I could barely finish, it was sort of boring actually. It seems to me that Holly Winter seems sort of like a lazy like character. Whenever someone insults her, she does nothing.She doesn't seem to show any affection or teddy bear love for her two malamutes. She feeds them and makes sure they don't fight, but other than that she does nothing. I don't think that I've ever read a Susan Conant book where Holly sits down, praises her dogs, and tells them that she loves them. She does a lot with the dogs, but shows little or no "loving care" for her dogs.A dog is not an object that can be dissmissed as Holly does.This book is very slow going.
