Separation Anxiety

The Sheltie in the sling caught my eye, and was the reason I impulsively used an Audible credit to purchase it. The fact that this is true indicates I'm one bad week – who am I kidding? – three bad days from shoving one of my Shelties into a sling. For the sake of my back, maybe I'll pick my mini dachshund.

In all seriousness, I really enjoyed this listening experience. The author and the narrator told a very engaging story that made me both laugh out loud and tear up. I had to listen to some passages at a quicker speed due to my own issues ar0und loss.

Courtney Patterson, the narrator, really wowed me with the different voices and the wonderful line readings, including a woozy scene in a dental chair.

I related Judy's search for renewed creativity and her loneliness. I also related to her husband's anxiety struggles.

I could have used a few more pages wrap up, and the middle lagged for me somewhat, but this story of anxiety, and loss, and the need to love and be comforted really resonated with me.
