I took this photo of Lily and Daisy because it goes with the title of the book that I am going to talk about below. Theirs is an unlikely friendship because of their sizes and attitudes. Lily is a moose and at first she used her size as a weapon to abuse Daisy. She wasn't that thrilled when Daisy came into her home. She liked being spoiled and wasn't ready to give up the spotlight. After plowing over Daisy and being put into time out on several occasions, she no longer tries to smash her into the ground. As for their temperaments, Lily is very laid back while Daisy is so high-strung that it drives the humans in the house crazy!! Daisy is very hyper and always on the go, whereas Lily is the exact opposite. But even with all of that, these two have come to forge a true friendship and a bond of sisterhood!!

Unlikely Friendships: 47 Remarkable Stories from the Animal Kingdom
Author: Jennifer S. Holland
Source: Public Library
Reason for reading it: Kathy@ Bermudaonion
Just look at that cover...look at it!! How can you resist reading stories about animals that in all reality shouldn't even like each other, but for some crazy reason end up comforting one another for a night or end up being best friends for years! This book offers up very original pairings of animals with pictures to confirm the stories. I read this over the course of two days and a few times I must admit to have been moved to tears. I've always thought that animals were God's gift to mankind. This is a must-read for anyone who loves animals and it confirms to me that animals have big hearts and old souls.

Staci...I love the photo, so very sweet - thanks for the over view into their personalities as well.
ReplyDeleteI actually bought Unlikely Friendships last year, tucked it onto the shelves unread and sort of forfot abot it until now. I MUST read it since you and Kathy enjoyed it so much.
Daisy looks so tiny beside Lily. Fun photo! I've seen some photos with unlikely animal pairings and they are always a treat to see.
ReplyDeleteDaisy and Lily are both beautiful. I'm glad they are friends now. I'm going to have to tell my sister about this book. She's a huge animal lover. The picture on the front is so sweet.
ReplyDeleteWith faces like theirs, how could they not be friends?! Very sweet :)
ReplyDeleteA perfect pairing! Your dogs are both beautiful - so glad they're friends now. My daughter would love this book.
ReplyDeleteI love how they are both looking up so innocently at the camera. Very cute photo!
ReplyDeleteGood photo of your pets. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteAdorable friends! I like the story of how they developed their bond. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHere's MY SATURDAY SNAPSHOT - and here’s

What an adorable pair! I got Unlikely Friendships too, and gave it to my niece for Christmas (after sneakily reading through it myself).
ReplyDeleteOMGosh I love the pic. Adorable!
ReplyDeleteI love your photo and your review! I could look at the pictures in that book all day long!
ReplyDeleteAwwww, they are buddies? Awwwwww, so sweet
ReplyDeleteThat photo is adorable! I want to snoogle them both.

Great photo of the dogs and I also love the cover of the book. Here's Mine
ReplyDeleteThat is so sweet! I wish my animals would be more friendly to each other. They have more of an uneasy truce.
ReplyDeleteI love this picture of Daisy and Lily. I'm so glad they like each other now. Daisy does look like she never slows down much. She and Sam would make a good pair. This book sounds like something I would like and I do love that cover.
ReplyDeleteMy dogs are completely opposites too. Sadie is almost 12, moving from room to room to nap in the sun. Jessie is 5. She's timid, nervous, doesn't stand up for herself. This wasn't an issue until Lily arrived. She's a terror of energy. Somehow she passed puppy school even though she refuses to stay/come/down on command. When I see them all balled up together I know it's worth it. They are snugglers.
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoyed the book!
Have a wonderful weekend.
I miss my dog and more so when I see your two.
ReplyDeleteLoveeeeeeeeeeee the photo of Lily and Daisy and that book sounds AMAZING!!! Must read that one! :):):):):):):):):):):)
ReplyDeleteWhat an awesome photo. Lily looks like she'd just rather be anywhere else whereas Daisy is like get closer to me!
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of the dogs. They are looking at you like the camera is doggie treat.
ReplyDeleteUnlikely Friendships sounds like a great book. I'm sure I would love it, especially if it has lots of photos of the happy animals.
That's a great picture of the dogs... :)
ReplyDeleteI love the photo of the dogs and the book sounds interesting, but I wonder if some of those friendships were not staged? Just curious
ReplyDeleteAwww ... your furbabies are adorable!
ReplyDeleteUnlikely Friendships is one of my favorite animal books. I smiled and wept through each story.
Awww now here's another one that I just HAVE to read, I'm such a sucker for animal stories. Love hearing about Lily and Daisy too :)
ReplyDeleteSix Sentence Saturday is one of my favorite things you do. It always amazes me how well you tell the story in just a few sentences.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun review--and I love the picture of your puppies.
ReplyDeleteCould that pic of Lily and Daisy be any darned cuter?! Gald to see they are adjusting to life together, it can be a real challenge.
ReplyDeleteI love that you include where you first saw the review that made you want to read the book. I really need to take better notes so I can do that!
