Book excerpt: When Nancy Balbirer learns her beloved eleven-year-old beagle has kidney failure, she's devastated. She and her husband had gotten Ira as a puppy--a wedding gift to each other, and their first foray into "parenthood." Now, her dog is terminal, her marriage is on life support, and Nancy is desperate to save them both (whether they want it or not). In a single year, she loses her two best friends, but Nancy's life is about to take yet another unexpected turn. With humor and heart, Nancy Balbirer shares her story of relationships, loss, and canine friendship in this illuminating memoir about the lengths people will go to keep love alive...and the power of finally letting go.

But I’m determined to be the best family dog I can be. It’s funny how dying changes your perspective on life. Suddenly, running my restaurant doesn’t seem as important as all those times I was absent when my wife and daughter needed me. Except God’s given me an unexpected second chance, only this time around it’s as the family dog. He agrees to let me return to the small town in Wisconsin I called home with Sabrina to watch Jaycee grow up. But first I have to convince her that the lost puppy she discovers on the day of my funeral is worth keeping. Then, I need to find my wife a new husband who’s worthy of her. If I fail, Sabrina will be destined to spend the rest of her life alone and miss out on the happiness she deserves. It makes me wonder if my life in dog years is going to be nearly long enough…

Book Synopsis Dog Years by : Melissa Yancy
Download or read book Dog Years written by Melissa Yancy. This book was released on 2016-11-11. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: WINNER OF THE 2016 DRUE HEINZ LITERATURE PRIZE Winner of the 2017 California Book Awards, first fiction category Many of these richly layered stories juxtapose the miracles of modern medicine against the inescapable frustrations of everyday life: awkward first dates, the indignities of air travel, and overwhelming megastore cereal aisles. In "Go Forth," an aging couple attends a kidney transplant reunion, where donors and recipients collide with unexpected results; in "Hounds," a woman who runs a facial reconstruction program for veterans nurses her dying dog while recounting the ways she has used sex as both a weapon and a salve; and in "Consider this Case," a lonely fetal surgeon caring for his aesthete father must reconsider sexuality and the lengths people will go to have children. Melissa Yancy's personal experience in the milieus of hospitals, medicine, and family services infuse her narratives with a rare texture and gravity. Keenly observed, offering both sharp humor and humanity, these stories explore the ties that bind—both genetic and otherwise—and the fine line between the mundane and the maudlin. Whether the men or women that populate these pages are contending with illness, death, or parenthood, the real focus is on time and our inability to slow its progression, and to revel in those moments we can control.
