Why didn't Kristy tell Mrs Mancusi where to go? She gets stroppy in other books about it. Bah. Yeah, why doesn't she just say the girls only know how to take care of humans? It's a totally valid point - as some people pointed out in the snarks of The BSC Have an Almighty Catfight, Oh Yeah and Jessi Pet-Sits for the Mancusis, quite a few of those pets require you to do more than just plop some food down in front of them. So they shouldn't actually be left in the care of somebody who doesn't know what they're doing anyway.
but then allows Becca and Charlotte to walk Jacques and Pooh Bear. OK, I'm sure I remember reading that at least one of those two dogs was really excitable. Forget letting the hamsters out, let's talk about one or both eight-year-olds being dragged into oncoming traffic. JESUS.
I hate Dawn in this book because I'm such a fierce animal-lover.
She passes Mrs Mancusi of the thousand pets and waves at her whilst privately snarking on the way she speaks to her dogs. Shut up, Dawn. I talk to my dog. And she talks back. So there. THIS. Although I can't fathom having as many pets as the Mancusi's, don't make fun of people for loving animals, DAWN. Just because a dog never spoke to you because you're boring as shit doesn't mean they can't understand and communicate with their owners in their own way. We had to put my dog down a month ago, but when he was younger and more spry, he always had to get in the last word when you'd scold him for something. And he'd stamp his foot when he got impatient. So Dawn, my dog > you in every way.
Brief introduction to Kristy and the Krushers and believe me, this is boring. I love baseball and I hate anything involving the Krushers.
Mary Anne turns up after a brief bit of back story and she's thrilled about a new shop in town - a pet shop! Big whoop.I actually would have gotten
( ... )
I used to get sick going on the swings when I was a kid, but my motion sickness is almost as bad as Margo's. It's actually a little better now than it was back then. Not sure what Dawn's excuse is, since motion sickness isn't one of her character traits.
A friend of mine (/her family as well I should say) has 4 dogs, 2 cats, 2 birds, a chinchilla, a tortoise, and 2 rabbits all in one tiny 2 bedroom townhouse. Suffice it to say, one bird, the chinchilla, and the tortoise all live in my friend's room all the time; the rabbits are outside; the second bird in the living room; and the dogs and cats roam around the house.
So... Mrs. Mancusi might have a studio apartment and be perfectly fine. I mean, I'd probably die from getting all that hair in my lungs but... you know, to each his/her own.
This is one of my least favorite BSC books because of the first chapter. Screw you, Dawn! I talk to my dog all the time and he does talk back to me in his own doggy language! So there!
But yeah, MA and Tigger....I mean, my Min Pin probably gets more daily hugs and kisses than most human children, but I would never be late for something because I was too busy playing with him. Priorities, MA. Tigger won't mind playing later. He's a cat, he has no datebook. Anytime is party time if you've got a leg to rub on....or a jubilee if you're got two legs! XD
*ahem* Anyways...looking forward to more snark! :D
