Enslaved by Ducks Paperback - 2004
by Bob Tarte
Tarte has penned this laugh-out-loud chronicle of what it means to bring animals of all shapes and sizes into one's heart and home.
First line
I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN I was doomed to write a book about our animals.
From the rear cover
When Bob Tarte bought a house in rural Michigan, he was counting on a tranquil haven. Then Bob married Linda. She wanted a rabbit, which seemed, at the time, innocuous enough. But that was just the beginning. Wouldn't a parrot be cute? Linda said. Bob suddenly found himself constructing pens, buying feed, clearing duck waste, spoonfeeding at mealtime. One day he realized he'd become a servant to a relentlessly demanding family, and a motley crew it was.
Writing as someone who's been ambushed by the way in which animals, even cranky ones, can wend their way into the heart, Bob Tarte reveals the truth of animal ownership--and who really owns whom.Details
