Description:

True stories from the life of William R. (Bill) Greene. How would you face these situations: Misplaced possums? Kitty spam? Putting a cat on a diet? Learning the name of a one-armed turtle? Force-feeding a large animal? Coping with alien technology? Nursing a burst appendix at home? Producing an eBook without a word processor or InDesign? And of course ... a cat-hair suit?
