<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Tarte has penned this laugh-out-loud chronicle of what it means to bring animals of all shapes and sizes into one's heart and home.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><b>The book that <i>Entertainment Weekly</i> called "hilarious," <i>Publishers Weekly</i> declared "a true pleasure," <i>Booklist</i> called "heartwarming," and the <i>Dallas Morning News</i> praised as "rich and funny" is now available in paperback.</b> <p/> When Bob Tarte bought a house in rural Michigan, he was counting on a tranquil haven. Then Bob married Linda. She wanted a rabbit, which seemed innocuous enough until the bunny chewed through their electrical wiring. And that was just the beginning. Before long, Bob found himself constructing cages, buying feed, clearing duck waste, and spoon-feeding a menagerie of furry and feathery residents. His life of quiet serenity vanished, and he unwittingly became a servant to a relentlessly demanding family. "They dumbfounded him, controlled and teased him, took their share of his flesh, stole his heart" (<i>Kirkus Reviews<i>).</i></i> <p/> Whether commiserating with Bob over the fate of those who are slaves to their animals or regarding his story as a cautionary tale about the rigors of animal ownership, readers on both sides of the fence have found Tarte's story of his chaotic squawking household irresistible--and irresistibly funny.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>When Bob Tarte bought a house in rural Michigan, he was counting on a tranquil haven. Then Bob married Linda. She wanted a rabbit, which seemed, at the time, innocuous enough. But that was just the beginning. <i>Wouldn't a parrot be cute?</i> Linda said. Bob suddenly found himself constructing pens, buying feed, clearing duck waste, spoonfeeding at mealtime. One day he realized he'd become a servant to a relentlessly demanding family, and a motley crew it was. <p/> Writing as someone who's been ambushed by the way in which animals, even cranky ones, can wend their way into the heart, Bob Tarte reveals the truth of animal ownership--and who really owns whom.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Hilarious....You may never look at Fido the same way."<br> --<i>Entertainment Weekly</i><br>
