Booknblues | 12412 comments When somebody owns three rabbits, two cats, three parakeets, a dove, two parrots, three turkeys, two geese, a canary, and nine ducks it seems there has to be a certain amount of family drama involved that and a on-going prescription of Zoloft and quite an incredible vet bill.

Bob and especially his wife Linda can't seem to find the number which represent too many. While they clearly love their animals, some of the episodes described in the book set my teeth on edge.

Tarte has a semi-lovable, self-deprecating manner which has moments of endearing humor:
"Decades parked in front of a computer screen had left me with the stamina of a petunia."
Admittedly I found this book easy to read and quite humorous despite feeling guilty about it.

It is and he basically is.

I did come to love Peggy the Duck. She is a Call Duck and too cute!


 Olivermagnus (lynda11282) | 4947 comments I went ahead and picked up the Kindle version for $2.99. It’s bound to fit a future play harder challenge.

I'll look forward to your review.

Locate Parcels | 1 comments I really enjoyed how Bob mixed humor with the chaos of caring for so many animals. Some of the situations were over the top, but that’s what made it feel both funny and exhausting at the same time. Peggy the Duck definitely stood out for me too—she almost felt like another main character!
