After reading Bob Tarte's "Enslaved by Ducks" I promptly ordered "Fowl Weather". I was not disappointed!!!

In the comical way that only Tarte can "Fowl Weather" tells how crazy and chaotic his life can truly be! Not only have Bob and his wife Linda added animals to their herd, they've also added other unwanted guests of the human species. Among them the totally clueless master gardener and one of Bob's old schoolmates the self-righteous pest named Eileen. By the end I wanted to knock Eileen out!

Like most of us that raise animals, Bob discovers that his animals have shown him how to handle almost anything that life suddenly dishes out. Bob goes through losing his father, his mother being diagnosed with Alzheimers, losing his favorite rabbit and the passing of his favorite bird Stanley Sue. The animals HAVE taken over his life! They have taught him how to feel and have taught him how to love again. This is truly a heart touching book.
