Most of us begin each day with a predictable routine.  We get up, read the paper, maybe go to the gym, drive to the office, attend a meeting and so on.  But for Annie Greer, “predictable” is the last word you could apply to her day’s activities.  On a given morning she might get out of bed and rush off to help a neighbor’s goat give birth, go outside and count flesh-and-blood sheep to see how many have survived the night, work on teaching a brain-damaged turkey to walk on a leash, or race off to the veterinary clinic to help her husband pry an object from the belly of an angry python.  Wild and crazy animals, people and stories seem to follow Annie everywhere. 
As the veterinary assistant to her vet husband Kent, an animal behaviorist, animal chiropractor, farmer and dog trainer Annie has been face-to-fur with animals of every kind since angry seagulls dive-bombed her every morning of her volunteer gig at an animal shelter as a teenager in her native England. In this collection of stories from her strange-but-true life with critters of all types, she takes readers from the “mildest” animals (pets of all breeds in and out of the veterinary clinic) to the “wildest” (homo sapiens and their loving, obsessive, nutty and occasionally dangerous relationships with animals), including:

•Diva, the special needs turkey who, after Annie rescued her from “death by duck,” lived in Annie’s shower, learned to walk on a leash, and became a beloved media star in central Florida...
•Sammy the sex-crazed chimp, whose simian cuteness and fuzzy mug melt Annie’s heart as she settles in to chimp-sit for a weekend, only to shatter her illusions of being a “chimp surrogate mom” by making it clear he thinks of her not as a parent but as a potential mate...
