Listening to Cujo for #LosersClub. I read it when it first came out, but don‘t remember all the details, so this should be interesting. King has said he doesn‘t remember writing the book; he was so high. I don‘t recall noticing anything weird, narratively, at the time. #audiowalk
so-soI usually love a dog story, but this one was just a slog through the middle…I almost gave up on it. But the ending was really good and sweet!

pickA masterpiece. Iconic Stephen King novel. And one where he actually sticks the ending. #losersclub @BarkingMadRead
All my buddy reads plus an extra for the cottage ( and another extra just in case) ( and all the books on my kindle just in case case ) #readharder 🤣
Many of you have seen Sherlock in my posts. He has been by my side for my entire health scare/issues journey. He‘s my snuggle buddy, calming force & so much more.
This weekend we found out he has his own issues. He needs to see a specialist (currently booking a month out! 😤) but things look bad.
It‘s been a horrible, emotional and stressful weekend. I‘m a mess. He‘s amazing as usual.
Please keep him in your thoughts. I‘d really appreciate it.
pickThis book has its sad moments but it‘s a funny and light hearted read. What is it like, not just in the day of a dog‘s life—but in its heart? That‘s what this book presents. Too often we take our closest companions for granted, and still, they never stop loving us. The Buddha once said if you want to understand love, start with animals first, because they‘re easier. He also said animals die sooner than us, because when we come into the world⬇️
pickEveryone knows the name Cujo, but have all of us really gotten to know this poor canine? Stephen King has a way of telling stories unlike anyone else. Cujo isn‘t the only scary thing in this story; humans are far worse. Curiosity and a wanting for second breakfast literally lead Cujo straight down the rabbit hole, where bad things are. What happens next is horrifying but it‘s not his fault. Highlight to remember: please vaccinate your pets!💉
Shortly following those mortal events in the Camber dooryard, Cujo‘s remains were cremated. The ashes went out with the trash and were disposed of at the Augusta waste-treatment plant. It would perhaps not be amiss to point out that he had always tried to be a good dog. He had tried to do all the things his MAN and his WOMAN, and most of all his BOY, had asked or expected of him. He would have died for them, if that had been required. ⬇️
