bookandbedandtea Awww what a cutie! 2d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Thank you, she is. But! She seems to have some serious health issues as it's turning out. They've had her 2 weeks and have already spent $1000 on vet visits and meds. I'm so angry at the unethical behavior of the humane society to release a dog they still had in quarantine 😤 2d
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau That's awful! I'm sorry they ended up with much more than they bargained for. Are these ongoing health issues or likely to be cleared up after these initial expenses? 2d
Eggs 🐕‍🦺😣🖤 2d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea Yesterday the vet told them that her blood work was weird and she might have cancer, but they would need to take to to a specialist to find out for sure. Or it might just be a bacterial infection or a virus. She's on another round of antibiotics, which is difficult to get her to take. At this point I think they should return her before the 30 day window is up, as heartless as that sounds 😣 2d
bookandbedandtea @TheBookgeekFrau Poor doggie! I feel badly for her but I kind of agree with you. It sounds like she may cost them a great deal and possibly be in poor health the whole time anyway. Since there's a return window they should probably take it. 😭 1d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea It's just heartbreaking all the way around. And I'm disgusted with the humane society of pikes peak. But thanks for listening to me vent 🙏🏼🙂 1d
TheBookgeekFrau @bookandbedandtea A happy update: turns out little Miss Mia does Not have cancer! The humane society left a piece of her uterus when they spayed her. So as soon as her pneumonia clears up they'll go in and clean her up. 🤞🏼🤞🏼for a good result! 14h

There was a lot of info here. Luckily, Goldberg writes in a very engaging, witty, and humorous way; other wise it would've read like a dry history text. The individual POVs from each side were interesting and enlightening and sometimes frustrating. Overall, a very worthy read.

This completed a second bingo for the month; yayyy!

Thank you @dabbe for the tag☺️ I skipped last week's #TLT bc dessert is really not my thing and my score was abysmal 😂

I've tried 35/73 for 48%

My faves:
🥚deviled eggs
🍠candied yams
🍞stuffing

And the whiskey-cranberry slushie is something I'd really like to try. Which also got me thinking to bring back Brandy Alexanders this holiday season 🥃🍸

Easiest bingo I ever got! Started this book over coffee this morning only to get to page 5 of the introduction to see an underline. So I flip through, and yup, I already read this 🤦🏻‍♀️🤣 It is relieving to know that I at least remember read books once I start to re-read them.

It was a little all over the place, too drawn-out, and not quite about what the synopsis says it's about. And if I wasn't too lazy to decide on a different book, it would've been a DNF.

When I read The Eighty-Dollar Champion, last month, there was mention of the how and why Black Beauty came to be written. I decided it was finally time to read this book I've had since I was about 8.

MaleficentBookDragon I loved this book as a child. I wonder how I‘d feel about it as an adult. Maybe it‘s time for a reread. (edited) 3w
TheBookgeekFrau @MaleficentBookDragon I learned that it was originally written for adults to highlight and warn against the abuse of work horses. From that the ASPCA was born to protect their well-being. 3w

This isn't my genre of choice, but I thought it would be more character driven than plot driven given the unusual age of the woman. Definitely a case of it's the reader, not the book.

It's a good, solid Jill Shalvis story complete with likable characters, humor, banter, and found family. However, I found myself getting impatient with "the formula" plot. Time for a break. I did get a #BookSpinBingo though, so woohoo!
