I am an avid reader and will stay up late after the dog duties to read, I will be going to Starbucks in the morning. As far as I am Legend- nope, cant do it if the dog dies, cant handle dogs and dying lately- hits too close to home.
Also another excellent book, Saving Sprite by Mark Levine. I read this book right before Dawn lost Woofie- I cried until I hurt and then just didnt know what to do next other than go and hug my rescues.
I want to meet Mark Levine at some point in my life, it probably wont happen- I am basically a nobody and cant imagine why he would want to sit down and talk to me about Sprite and the book he wrote, but this man has such compassion for dogs, that I would like to shake his hand and tell him thank you for all of the dogs that didnt make it out of the shelters, and that his book to Sprite was also a tribute to all shelter dogs and thier struggle to live.
