Will look forward to reliving it through your future review - whether you love it or not :0)<br /><br />And nope, no way could I work at a vet or shelter or pet store - they would all come home with me. Which is why Andy does not allow me within 5 miles of any of them. The animals are not allowed to outnumber the humans in our house.<br /><br />Happy b-day to your daughter - hope she has a great one!The Bumbleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08334162339045336577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4124681312732868654.post-27814844461494923072012-02-27T16:00:55.158-05:002012-02-27T16:00:55.158-05:00I'm happy to hear you found your time at the s...I'm happy to hear you found your time at the shelter so rewarding.

It's nice and close to home too which is a plus. The only thing is I'd want to bring most of them home and somehow I doubt Sam would be too happy about that. <br /><br />Hope you have a good week.

I can't imagine listening to this book simply because of the dialect that is soooo important to the story. It would take a very special reader to do it right, and the wrong reader could actually ruin the story. It's just a charming book...I urge you to read it sometime, rather than listening to it.
