Before long, Bob found himself constructing cages, buying feed, clearing duck waste, and spoon-feeding a menagerie of furry and feathery residents. His life of quiet serenity vanished, and he unwittingly became a servant to a relentlessly demanding family. \"They dumbfounded him, controlled and teased him, took their share of his flesh, stole his heart\" (\u003ci\u003eKirkus Reviews\u003ci\u003e).\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Whether commiserating with Bob over the fate of those who are slaves to their animals or regarding his story as a cautionary tale about the rigors of animal ownership, readers on both sides of the fence have found Tarte's story of his chaotic squawking household irresistible--and irresistibly funny.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen Bob Tarte bought a house in rural Michigan, he was counting on a tranquil haven.
