Seasons with Zoot Suit, Thomas and Spooker: The Endeavors of Three Former Strays

Seasons with Zoot Suit, Thomas and Spooker is a light and humorous collection of essays that describes a year of events that occurred when the author and her husband welcomed two former alley cats and one dog pound refugee into their home. Anyone who has ever owned a pet knows the love and laughter they can bring into a home. Each animal has his or her own unique and often quirky personality. This is not a book about animals acting or speaking like people, it is the story of one pet owner's observations of two cats and one dog over the seasons of a year. It is the story of one cat who treats the dog like furniture, another cat that can stop a ten-wheeler in its tracks until she completes her personal hygiene, and a tolerant dog who can outwit an invisible fence and, on occasion, both cats. While each story in this collection can be enjoyed individually, they flow well together to reveal the unique personalities of this eclectic threesome, and the joy they bring into a home through each season.
