April of 8th repeat
Plot
There is a baby-sitting charge in Stoneybrook, Deb, who recently lost her sight. She got sick and woke up blind one day, and she is not handling it well. She is isolating herself and refusing to see friends. One day Kristy is babysitting her and she decides to walk to town by herself, almost killing herself. Kristy finds her and they have a long talk, and Deb seems a little better after that.
This unfortunate turn of events made Watson think that 7 kids, a bunch of pets, a business and running a household isn't enough, so he decides to become a service dog trainer as well. They go pick up their service dog in training, Scout, and the entire family starts taking him everywhere.
And that's what happens in this book.
Takeaways
Deb has some pretty good comebacks in regards to her blindness. Like basically anytime someone mentions seeing something, she's like um nope I'm blind. And at one point her brother is yelling at her and she's like dude I'm blind not deaf.
Of course there is some "service dog" fair when the Watson-Brewer's are done with their dog.
They take the dog to a dog training class, and on the "graduation" day, they have like professional pictures taken of the whole class and then the dogs and their owners. Seriously, that can't be real.
I am not a dog person.
Kristy even brings the fucking dog to the BSC meetings. Every single BSC meeting.
There is also a time when Karen feeds the dog something and Kristy loses her goddamned mind, but then Watson is like it's fine, things happen. Kristy is a lot to handle sometimes.
Best Character
Watson, who makes this decision and is just trying to do a good thing.
Worst Character
There really isn't a worst character in this book, but I'm going to give it to Kristy bc she's such a tyrant sometimes. And why does she have to bring the fucking dog to Claudia's house, which is pet free?
