Pets on Parade

Prospect House #2

by Malcolm D. Welshman

In this follow up to the number one bestseller, Pets in a Pickle, Malcolm Welshman, introduces a wealth of new characters—animal and human—while reminding us of some firm favorites, such as the steely-eyed receptionist, Beryl Wagstaff, and the Stockwell sisters who never have time for the “vet in a hurry.” Things haven't calmed down for vet, Paul Mitchell, since we last joined him at Prospect House Veterinary Hospital. Continuing his fun-filled exploits, he's spellbound by a medium with her spooked cat and tricked by a magician with his poor rabbit, not to mention his encounter with trophy hunting cats, a runaway fox and a gored ostrich, who all add to the parade of pets that weave a colorful path through Paul's rollercoaster life. No less a challenge is his turbulent relationship with the vet nurse, Lucy, and how they cope with a cottage full of cats, an adorable Jack Russell called Nelson and an invasion of mice. Sparks fly on the arrival of Jodie, the daughter of the practice partners. But when Paul has to operate on his beloved parrots with the help of Jodie, it's the climax of another heartfelt chapter in this young vet's exploits.

It was awful.
The author can't seem to separate work and sex, it's like it's all he's thinking about. He doesn't seem to have any respect for the women in his life unless they're attractive to him, and is constantly talking about how women throw themselves at him. I hope I never pick up one of his books again.

Funny animals, antifeminist vet

Great story as a vet, but we get too much of his love life, and the way he treats women more as objects!!!

Funny

This is funny and poignant. Malcolms life is both funny and sad but it does paint a wonderful picture of an English vet.

I liked Pets on Parade better than Pets in a Pickle. Malcolm D. Welshman tells funny and sad stories about pets and humans. Worth a read.

[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Funny but also sometimes cruelly sad. It brings the light and darkness of pet ownership to the reader regardless of if one has pets or not. Good read.

[Cherry · Rating 4 out of 5]

A light, funny read. There's not too much plot to worry about, which doesn't matter at all, and the narration and characters are great.
