My first book just came out, now in stores and available on Amazon – “Angell at 100: A Century of Compassionate Care for Animals and Their Families” – about the second oldest and still one of the busiest animal hospitals in the country. On Thursday August 13, 7 p.m. at Brookline Booksmith, I’m giving an author talk along with two of the hospital’s amazing veterinarians as part of the store’s “WRITERS & READERS” series. I’ll talk about the eye-opening process of researching the book -- mining the archives for the story of the hospital’s rich history and what I learned from talking to staff about hilarious hijinks and amazing innovations, trailing a veterinarian for “A Day in the Life,” seeing life and death drama in the ER, watching an acupuncture session. Then I’ll do a little interview with the vets and open it up for questions to them. Here’s your chance to “stump the doctor,” ask about animal health, exotic pets, veterinary ethics, etc. And yes, pets are welcome. Love to see any and all who can make it! (No pressure to buy the book, but proceeds go back to the non-profit hospital and the MSPCA.)
