Book description
The hilarious and unforgettable story of one woman's wonderfully codependent relationship with her dog - and what he taught her about chosen family and the reward of motherhood.Birdie & Harlow is the story of a baby and a dog. But motherhood is never quite that simple. In Taylor Wolfe's case, it is a road as long, winding, and zigzagging as it gets.Meant to be a last-minute anniversary gift for her then boyfriend (and now husband), the highly-energetic and loud-mouthed Vizla puppy named Harlow turns out to be the best snap decision twenty-year-old Taylor ever makes--and the beginning of the most epic friendship she ever has. As Wolfe's resistance to 9-5's and traditional adulthood grows, Harlow becomes the perfect companion for her eccentricities in a world that thrives on conformity. Wolfe's twenties--full of pitfalls and surprises, sad days and silver linings--led her to the realization that life is too short to spend your days in a crate (or a cubicle), that parks are meant to be enjoyed, and most importantly, that yes, she wants to be a mom. But isn't she, really, one already? A magnificent and masterfully-written memoir, Birdie & Harlow is a tribute to the many expressions of modern motherhood, to both human and fur babies alike. Like all moms, Taylor laughs--at herself, her weird jobs, the small apartments, the unexpected wins, and the utter failures--and reminds all of us that life will surprise you and families should come in every shape and size.
