Unlikely Companions: The Adventures of an Exotic Animal Doctor
(or, What Friends Feathered, Furred, and Scaled Have Taught Me about
Life and Love)
One of those books you gulp down like a drug. Her adventures occur in a small practice in a small part of New York but her patients come from all over the world. There's a nice mix of pets with problems, people who cause problems, and her own, home-family problems. She's beautifully frank about how her unpredictable work schedule affects home life--and doesn't apologize. It's an issue to be dealt with by effort on all sides.
But the one problem that keeps you reading is this: what is suddenly sickening sugar gliders adopted from malls? Her adventure of unraveling the mystery is what makes the reading shift into higher gears, and that's almost a shame--its over too soon! now that I know the answer, I'm thinking about reading it again to pick up things I missed along the way.
