Rescuing Sprite- Mark R. Levin Pg. 75-130

I don't mean to continue the complaints, (as the book is about cute little dogs that are sweet and accountable companions), but this book....I just can't take the boring nature of it. Blah.

Mark Levin writes about his radio show and how he works from home. He describes how both of his dogs, Pepsi and Sprite, wait for him outside of his office door until his show is over. He then goes upstairs and eats dinner with one dog on either side of him, waiting desperately for a scrap of his dinner.

(Super interesting, huh.)

He then goes on to describe the gradual decline of Sprite's health. This part was really long, like dragging on and on about Sprite's failing condition. It was pretty sad hearing about all Sprite's vet visits and how he wasn't quite being himself.

Sprite had received test results back concluding that he had a tumor in his brain, which surgery may or may not remove correctly. But with the possibility of death as a result to surgery, the Levin's made the tough decision to stick with medicine that would ease his pain. Mark Levin especially had a difficult time dealing with this news because he has a special connection with his dogs and would hate to see either of them go. (which I can understand).

The Levin family went on a vacation to the Bahama's for Thanksgiving! But, without their dogs there they felt as though they had left a part of their family at home. The Levin family was so worried about their dogs' condition during their vacation, that they nearly forgot to enjoy it! Personally, if I went to the Bahama's, I'd enjoy it. Regardless.
