"When Nancy Balbirer learns her beloved eleven-year-old beagle has kidney failure, she's devastated. She and her husband had gotten Ira as a puppy--a wedding gift to each other, and their first foray into 'parenthood.' Now, her dog is terminal, her marriage is on life support, and Nancy is desperate to save them both (whether they want it or not). In a single year, she loses her two best friends, but Nancy's life is about to take yet another unexpected turn. With humor and heart, Nancy Balbirer shares her story of relationships, loss, and canine friendship in this illuminating memoir about the lengths people will go to keep love alive...and the power of finally letting go." -- Amazon.com.

I've had this book in my tbr pile for a long time but kept putting off starting it because I don't like sad dog stories. When I finally started it I discovered that the parts about Ira weren't so sad. What was sad was watching a marriage die.
But its beautifully written, insightful, and I actually grew a little reading it. So don't wait. Buy it. Read it. You won't be sorry. ( )
