I’m Listening With A Broken Ear

Published on by Lucky - The Wise Sister of Pablo4 Comments

This is going to be my first book review so please be patient with me.  When Corinne told me how much she enjoyed reading ‘I’m Listening With A Broken Ear‘, I told her I just had to read it.  But you know her, right? She wasn’t content with me being a reading dog, she wanted me to write about it too! Don’t you think this is grounds for me to call in the Animal Rights Activists?

But seriously, when I read Vicky S Kaseorg’s delightful story of how she and her daughter found and reluctantly rescued a dying dog, I knew I’d want to write about it.

At first Vicky tries hard not to take on Honeybun – because her family cannot afford the time or the money it will cost and they already have a dog. Fate, Vicky’s daughter and Honeybun have other ideas!

Vicky takes us through her struggle of helping Honeybun (so named by her daughter) through severe health issues,  aggression and fear which are all part of her history of being abandoned.  It is as much a story of Vicky as it is of her dog.  At every turn, she is tempted to give up and give Honeybun away to Animal Control who will certainly euthanize her.  However, help keeps coming to Vicky in unexpected and seemingly miraculous ways.  Honeybun teaches Vicki and her family a lot of lessons in faith, unconditional love and the great truth that no one is really beyond redemption!

Told with great humor, interspersed with Vicky’s prayers, it is definitely a wonderfully uplifting read.  This is truly a book for all dog lovers.

I hope you enjoy it too!

140 Days Later

Yesterday, President Biden and family lost Champ, their 13 year old German Shepherd. As Corinne read the President’s tribute to Champ and the Twitter thread that followed, I know she was moved to tears. I was so sad too. Not because we knew this dog, but because we know the pain of losing a loving companion. 140 days later, it’s hard not to be sad about losing Pablo.

140 Days

140 days later and we still miss you, your madness, your stubbornness, your grumbling and your ability to harass José and Corinne for treats (which I enjoyed too). I miss harassing you – jumping on you just before you went for a walk, taking away the ball from you and refusing to part with it… I miss playing with you…. To paraphrase President Biden, “Everything was instantly better when you were next to us.”

Corinne quietly copied some images that people had shared in on Twitter about the loss of a dog in response to Champ’s passing. She asked me if I’d like to share it with you and I agreed.

We love and miss you, Pablo!
