She should have guessed that every knock at the door or ring of the phone would mean her husband would be torn away from the family for hours--sometimes returning deflated, sometimes smiling. But she could \u003ci\u003enever \u003c\/i\u003ehave dreamed that her beautiful, curly-haired young daughter would one day bathe and sleep with an inflatable tick (until the day it was mysteriously punctured by a salad fork) or that she would go through her marriage of forty-five years opening every freezer door with caution. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ci\u003eDon't Look in the Freezer\u003c\/i\u003e is a humorous, poignant, loving look into the sometimes strange, mostly unglamorous, life of a veterinarian's wife. Patti's little family is not at all like that of famous veterinarian James Herriot's--but is still absolutely filled with compassion and love for animals and the people who adore them.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatti Eddington\u003c\/b\u003e married her veterinary student boyfriend, Jim, when they were in college. While she expected the focus of their life together to be on animals, she wasn't prepared for quite as many shenanigans as she has experienced; her life has been incredibly happy, but probably not as glamorous as some might expect. Today, the Mid-Century Modern design enthusiast, dance fitness instructor, and former journalist enjoys being dragged on walks by her ridiculous three-legged dog, David, and watching the sandhill cranes and bald eagles from her deck on a beautiful bayou in Spring Lake, Michigan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 240\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.71 x 8.5 x 5.56 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 28, 2026\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52057622315309,"sku":"9798896361305","price":19.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0938\/3185\/6429\/files\/dont-look-in-the-freezer-the-very-strange-life-of-a-veterinarians-wife-paperback-7691908.webp?v=1780168506","url":"https:\/\/ishookbooks.com\/products\/dont-look-in-the-freezer-the-very-strange-life-of-a-veterinarians-wife-paperback","provider":"iShook Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
