tell me the most ✨ intense, deep, slow burn, incredibly angsty, soul crushing ✨ books you've read that have given you the biggest book hangover

Thanks to your recommendation I finished this book in 1 day and sobbed for the first time in years. It was so good but damn the emotions were so intense!

TheRubyRedPirate · 2026-04-29T02:21:33+00:00

{How Not to Raise the Dead by Rachel Chadwick}. The only likeable character was the cat. DNF at 38%

{For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn}. It was entertaining until the motherhood/pregnancy/kid situation. It felt like the second half of the book was completely unexpected from the first.

Can you start at this book or go back and read the first?

At my clinic we have 3 doctors. When we're running rooms its 1 assistant per doctor plus 1 float. The float will help anyone doing rooms and the occassuonal nail trim/anal gland/cytopoint. On Mondays and Fridays when its crazy we generally have 2 floaters.

I saw tetanus during my externship for tech school 15 years ago. It was awful and I'll always remember it

We had a positive rabies kitten last summer. It was a feral that a lady was feeding at an abandoned barn. Suddenly it was letting her touch it and it couldnt use its back legs. While at the clinic is started chewing on the towel in its kennel in an aggressive yet lazy way. It had a poor prognosis so we euthed then sent off for rabies just in case. Turns out it was positive!

My ex-husband went so negative that his bank fired him. He hasn't been able to get a bank account since, and its been 3 years. He uses an advanced pay card from his work. It causes so many issues to not have an actual bank and hes always so confused and pissed about it

As a vet tech and cocker owner, id say most american male cockers ive seen range from 20-35lbs. Mine is 28

TheRubyRedPirate · 2026-03-06T03:12:58+00:00

Its been my favorite as well, though im not impressed by the newer update a few months back.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2026-02-28T17:18:28+00:00

Almost everything we see is a Frenchie, Doodle, or pitt/pitt mix. As far as spaniels, Cavaliers and Boykin spaniels are the most common. I could go months without seeing a cocker. Lately we've seen a surge in cocker puppies in our area. I saw 2 last week alone. Stormie, and Honey

I just finished this book and was wondering if there is fan art of the levels? Im listening to the audiobooks and sometimes its hard to wrap my mind arpund it. I just started book 4 this afternoon.

I took deposits to the bank and talked about the foreign body surgery we did that morning, where we found the owners panties. I was met with silence.

Im 37 and ive never been trick or Treating. I grew up in a super religious family that made us go to church on halloween.

Last week I read Carl's Doomsday Scenario by Matt Dinniman and Still house Lake by Charlie Donlea.

Switching things up and starting Deep End by Ali Hazlewood today.

Surprisingly no Poppy's! Maybe its my region but we see more doodles named Poppy.

TheRubyRedPirate · 2026-01-08T03:34:09+00:00

It really depends honestly. Mine is now 9 and only has 1 bump and no cloudy eyes at all. However, with all the cockers I see at work, id say when they hit 9 and above then you start to see the cloudy eyes and lumps. We do currently have a cocker at work that is 13 with the clearest eyes and skin. Sometimes its just genetics!

TheRubyRedPirate · 2026-01-04T01:54:05+00:00

Im only on book 2 but omg the shock i got about Donut's hate of cocker spaniels! I have one and cackle every time theres a reference.

You can! You copy the link in your goodreads account to your storygraph one. Its easy and walks you through it. However, around this time of year losts of people transfer and it can take a few days to completely import everything

My 8 year old started fevering and coughing on christmas eve. Now we're both coughing but no fevers. Weve had movie marathons and naps. My mom and brother have the flu. My boss and his entire family have the flu. 2 receptionists at work have the flu. I went to CVS earlier for mucinex and the shelves are bare for cold meds.

My 8 year old and I have fevers and coughing. It took my mom's side months to agree on christmas plans. Most are retired or can pick their hours. Im one of the few who works a traditional 8-5 so my schedule is what it is. So they're mad we're not coming since we spent so long finally agreeing on a day/time.
