Is "Jack" in this story "Jimmy" in Chapter 7 of Runner's Moon?
That would make "Stas" now "Skosh" from back then.

btw, there is an editing error in that particular chapter - immediately after the final "**********" separator. It was probably introduced in the 2007 edit. Just look for the word "Several".

I asked Wes about this and he said it wasn't the same dog. He had originally intended the dog to be the same one but had to change it to fit the timeline of other stories.

I thought the same thing that Jack & Jimmy and Stas & Skosh were similar characters. Considering the two times: Bird in Hand is set in 2010 and Runner's Moon is 1990. A twenty year old dog is very old, and Jack is in high school so he'd be 16 or 17 years old. Jimmy was probably 3 or 4 years old in 1990 with Skosh a puppy.

Still a co-incidence............
