Amy L Peterson

This was a delightful story about pets. The author begins by blaming her husband for their abundance of animals, but as it unfolds, the reader begins to understand that she’s in just as deep as he is.

Ms. Peterson’s sense of humor and lovely storytelling take you on a journey of how she came to adopt and raise dozens of different kinds of animals, from domestic to wild, through the course of her marriage. From the joys, to the challenges to the heartache, it’s all there in loving detail. A “must read” for animal lovers everywhere, and I would recommend it, even if you don't have any pets.

'I want an Angel like Dusty'

I wonder if all angels are as adorable as Dusty?

Hes the most adorable, cutest, fluffy pup I have ever seen and lots and lots of fun also. Such a delight. Ever so playful and he works hard for his living.
He looks quite amusing before he has his fur trimmed, hes fluffier than the fluffiest sheep.

Thanks Amy for giving me these books, just cant wait to look at the others and I know the kids are going to adore Dusty as much as we do. If ever I had a dog, or an Angel, I want him to be as cute and adorable as your Angel.

I knew she would, my daughter absolutely loved this book Amy, told you just how much. Her face when I started reading and then she noticed the photos - pictures, and her face was a picture. She sat closer to me as I read it to her whilst in bed, as this is an excellent bedtime story, so she could admire your babies.

And just like I mentioned to you earlier Amy, young children, special-needs would adore this book, but there again even the older child and some grown ups would love this book. It's so beautiful, and the adding the photos make it that much more so.

I told you Amy, show it to schools - play groups - nurseries - Special-need schools. This is a fantastic book and I just know that they will love it for the young people.… (plus d'informations)

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review and Amy,-This is the most wonderful and amusing story I have read in such a long time. You have created something so spectacular and amazing, so well done you. This book is so precious

The writing is so pleasurable, such an easy read. I really adore books like this, that you feel as tho you are one of the characters and it makes you feel like its happening to you. Just reading this wonderful, amusing story and just let the imagination go wild and suddenly you will be laughing and sometimes screaming., but be warned there will be tears also.

You will be exhausted at times running after the little fellas, and there's so many different species coming to live all in one household ....there are frogs, Lizards, baby hedgehogs, ferrets and let me tell you something.....Iv always wanted aFerret myself one day; trouble is seeing Coco she has literally worn me out, but Chunky is another matter entirely - this little guy is priceless, so gorgeous...doesn't bite or nothing. But that Coco, you would never have adays piece...she's just like an extremely extremely mischievous young child, always getting into trouble, always stealing things and digging and chewing. But like I said, there are so many heart breaks within the story also and that's mainly becaz the writing is so good..you can feel all the love and pain these little fellas give out.

I just can't put this book down, and you realise that you are reading faster and faster becaz you need to know whats happening next to these little guys. You also get to realise the husband is going to get another pet of some sort unusual and it will make you intrigued in finding what sort they will have next.

Becaz Amy had given me a copy of this book of hers, I had not read what she had written to say that she had experienced all these animals herself, and that Mr Biologist was husband. It was so cleverly written and like I already mentioned so much love was given to these animals. This is such a warm book, and a lovely way of remembering your pets. So once more, Congrats Amy. Thanks for sharing with us your funny and strange, but lovely pets.

Reading this wonderful beautiful book is bringing back the most precious memories of my pets..my Genea pigs, dogs, Rabbits and the cats and all the funny times we encountered with them, not forgetting the heartbreaks also. But luckily the pain heals eventually, so you reminisce bout all the good times and all the love you received from your pets.

I asked Amy if I could share this most 'Beatiful' link with everyone and add this onto my review and luckily Amy said I could as this shows a lot of her photos with her animals:

Edit: 24th November 2013

Amy has other books that I feel as tho I should mention about, they are slightly bit different from this one..more for the younger reader - special needs will love these - and the 'Photographs', oh my goodness, they are WONDERFUL-AMAZING read.

"Dusty, the Angel pup".
"Bumpkins get big"
"Goodnight, Mr Wuzzy"
"Purrkins, the cat"

Like I pointed out to Amy, these four books would make a wonderful first read for a small child or young person learning to read, my daughter who has special-needs sat up closer to me whilst I was reading these books to her so she could see the wonderful photos of Amy's pets and the expression on her face was priceless. All these books are priceless, such a treasure and Amy herself is a treasure to know also. So a big thanks once again my sweetheart with love from your favourite fan.

Edit to add this video of 'Amy's Amazing Animal Family' https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1G3iF...… (plus d'informations)

In her second memoir, Something Furry Underfoot, author Amy L. Peterson weaves a humorous and touching account of her family's adoption and growing menagerie of pets, and helpful tips for the pet lover/owner. This enchanting story is written in a witty style, the author's love for animals is clearly evident in her true life account of living and caring for a variety of animals that her husband and stepkids added to their family.

As an animal lover and pet owner of four fur babies (1 Brown Lab, 2 Bichon Frise, and 1 Poodle), I can relate to Amy's menagerie of animals. Growing up I raised rabbits, had parakeets, dogs and the occasional hermit crab, and the feelings of love and care for each of my animals is filled with wonderful memories and humorous trials and tribulations that are locked in my heart forever.

I thought that Something Furry Underfoot was a wonderful story. It is filled with snippets of humor that will keep you in stitches, and the inspirational love for animals will have fellow pet owners nodding their head in agreement and admiration. Animal lovers and pet owners will learn a lot from Amy's helpful pet tips, it's a must read for anyone who already has an animal, or wants to add an animal to their family.

Animals have a way of touching a person's heart and life with an unconditional love that is like no other.

Kudos to Amy for writing a truly heartwarming and enjoyable story that all animal lovers will adore.
