Story
Talking about death and dying is considered taboo in polite company, and even in the medical field. Our ideas about dying are confusing at best: Will our memories flash before our eyes? Regrets consume our thoughts? Does a bright light appear at the end of a tunnel? For most people, it will be a slower process, one eased with preparedness, good humor, and a bit of faith. At the forefront of changing attitudes around palliative care is hospice nurse Hadley Vlahos, who shows that end-of-life care can teach us just as much about how to live as it does about how we die.

Most of us work ourselves silly focusing on quality, demonstrated outcomes, and proven results. That's a good thing. Yet too often we often stop short of the final step: zeroing in on how all our hard work comes across to the patient or customer. Why do we spend so much time making sure the ingredients are right...and so little time thinking about perception? Liz Jazwiec, award-winning author of Eat That Cookie! and Hey Cupcake!, asks (and answers) this question in her latest book.

With his big blue eyes and soulful expression, George was the irresistible runt of the litter. But Dave and Christie Nasser's "baby" ended up being almost five feet tall, seven feet long, and 245 pounds. Eager to play, and boisterous to the point of causing chaos, this big Great Dane was scared of water, scared of dogs a fraction of his size, and, most of all, scared of being alone. Giant George is the charming story of how this precocious puppy won Dave and Christie's hearts and along the way became a doggie superstar.

Julia Fox Garrison refused to listen to the professionals she called Dr. Jerk and Dr. Panic, who - after she suffered a massive, debilitating stroke at age thirty-seven - told her she’d probably die, or to Nurse Doom, who ignored her emergency call button. Instead she heeded the advice of kind, gifted Dr. Neuro, who promised her he would “treat your mind as well as your body.” Julia figured if she could somehow manage to get herself into a wheelchair, at least she’d always find parking. But after many, many months of hospitalization and rehab, Julia not only got into a wheelchair, but she got back out.

You Had Me at Woof is the often hilarious and always sincere story of how one woman discovered life's most important lessons from her relationships with her canine companions.

Story
When best-selling mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with 25 dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment.

Adorable
I enjoyed this vet book with the vivacious staff, quirky owners and sweet (for the most part) pets. This was a relaxing read as every chapter was different.

Fun, funny, light
Nothing amazing or earthshattering, just pleasant recollections of odd pet disorders and odder pet owners.

Loved it!
We have a lot of pets and are very familiar with visits to the vet. I loved this book. Made me laugh, and I learned a lot. Most of all I will be a very good client for my vet after listening to this book. A+

sweet stories from a vet
This is a great book to pick up when you only have a little time to read, each chapter is a story about a single case. It is a James Harriet type of book with families and the love for their pets.

Interesting
This book was nice and fun to listen to. It explains the small nuances of veterinary medicine that people may not consider when deciding to become a vet. I learned a lot and enjoyed the stories.

Great book, a must listen to/read
I wanna start off by saying I’ll never leave a review. But I had to for this book it was exceptional.
When I saw this book and read the summary, it drew my attention because I have a daughter who graduated veterinary school last year. Listening to the stories was wonderful. It gave me great insight into some of the things that my daughter experiences as I’ve heard a couple of different interesting stories that could probably go in this book. I think all pet owners should read this book just to get a taste of what stress veterinarians are under and see some of the humor. I hope Dr. Miller put out a volume to because I will happily listen to that too.

I really liked his expressions or interpretations of his clients. BUT I could tell how much he didn't like little old ladies.

Fun description of the life of a vet
Well written and fun. As a veterinarian, the tales of Mrs Sweet and Sour, school and conferences hit home.

The science was good, the view of people tho...
I liked learning about the medical parts of the job, process of problem solving, but eventually had to stop listening. I started getting distracted by the representation of the other people in the book, which was taking away from the quality story and science. About half way in I started noticing that all the women were described by their physical characteristics as much as their personality. The men were not described this way. At first I thought it was just me, but then my boyfriend noticed it too after listening to it for just a little bit, overhearing it in the next room and was bothered. I also did not like the characterizing of the LGBTQAI community. No matter how good the story was, eventually we had to stop because of the dismissive nature of other people.
It's too bad because the story is good, but the lack of respect / dismissive views of most of the other people became so overwhelming, that I just had to stop. Which made me sad because the experience is well described, it was informing and entertaining.
I still think it's a good book, and if those sorts of things don't bother you, it will be a fine listen. Much of me wants to complete the book, and this really is a MINOR element, I feel silly even talking about it, but as a woman who is in science, it was something I couldn't continue with.
