In this tale, Bob reveals how things have gotten truly chaotic in his household. Not only has the Tarte menagerie of parrots, doves, cockatiels, rabbits, geese, ducks, and cats continued to grow, but they're now joined by other uninvited guests, both human and animal. There's a family of mice, a spider who requires hand-feeding, Bob's grade school classmate who's now a grade A nuisance, the pet sitter applicant who never met an animal he didn't want to butcher, the master gardener who tramples every rare plant in his path. And the everpresent sock monkey. Yet, no matter how much his life is overrun by the demands of fauna and family, Bob discovers that it is the animals that can show him how to handle everything unexpected in life by relinquishing some control, by diving in and just dealing with it.
