I remember trying to get our dog to drop a baby rabbit and she would have nothing to do with me! I finally got her leash and said let's go for a walk and she immediately dropped the bunny and went obediently with me.

I would say that I felt a little let down that the author led such a normal life. I kept wondering why she felt like she should write a memoir. <br /><br />Now that we have gone through such difficult times in the past few years, I might like to reread this book and enjoy its normal-ness.Deb Nance at Readerbuzzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12128529491888701996noreply@blogger.com
