I thoroughly enjoyed this book! Bob Tarte's animal-loving wife convinces him that they should have a pet rabbit. And oh, what a rabbit he was! And thus begins their path leading to a petting zoo of ducks, turkeys, geese, parrots, and other various pets on their acreage. Also at center point is Bob's battle with his depression, which he treats with such humor that he provides real insight into how depression can cloud the view of things that should simply be normal parts of our lives.

His delightful sense of humor and hilarious animal tales centered around their pets that always seem to have some oddball behaviors will have you laughing at times and feeling sad with him at the inevitable passing of some of the animals.

If you enjoy a dry sense of humor with quotes like "wearing thick gloves that capable of repelling eagle talons" and other colorful descriptions, you will certainly enjoy this book. Also great for any animal lover you may know.
