Our home has sheltered parrots, cats, geckos, rabbits, rats, mice, fish, anoles, and several dogs, while numerous wild creatures share our 5 acres. As a person presently enslaved by 3 parrots, way too many cats, and a surprisingly tolerant boxer, I am pretty sure that Bob Tarte must have been hiding in my closet; so many of the tales he tells ring way too true to my experiences! Hilarious, poignant, accessible, insightful and validating to those of us who turn our lives and homes over to the furred, finned, feathered and such. And let it serve as a cautionary tale to those who might be tipping toward life on the other side of normal - there's still time to save yourself (and your house!).
