There are many books out there dealing with someone who battled cancer and won. You expect these books to be emotional and inspirational. Teresa Rhynes story has both those aspects but it's different from the others because she also tells the story of her dogs battle with cancer. You might think this would make the book a bit corny or cheesy, but that's not the case. This book is hilarious, absolutely hilarious. Well, I should really say "fookin' hilarious". Read the book and find out why. ( )

A great beach read, which is where I read it. The first part, about a beagle with cancer, is hilarious. The second half, about the author's cancer is powerful in its refusal to find doctors without fault. The writing is average, the intimacy exceptional and the beagle delightfully "bad". ( )

Teresa's dog, Seamus, a beagle, gets cancer. She tells the story of his treatment, from his adoption to his clean bill of health. As soon as he is cured she discovers a lump in her breast. And it's the aggressive triple negative. She writes with humor about dating Chris, a guy 11 years younger and how their relationship grows over the yeas they are together. She describes the meeting of his folks, who seem nice until they tell Chris he should break up with her! Easy, Enjoyable read! ( )

I really enjoyed this book, which sounds unusual for a book centered around not one, but two bouts with cancer. The author's introspection, humor and her dog make the story a celebration of life. ( )
