So, who has LoF Edgewood? What happens next?

 

Nothing. This is an annoying feature of the series, there is not a lot of continuity from book to book. Dogs are not mentioned in Edgewood.

 

In Goldfish, Fred gets a pet goldfish. At the beginning of Farming, it dies, and he throws it in the trash and moves on - no emotion, nothing. I actually found this a *lot* more disturbing than the Dogs thing.

I'm always surprised that people ARE surprised about how death is treated in animals in these books, given how in the second book, a bell tower falls on a PERSON and he dies (because he wasn't doing what he was supposed to, or something like that--I can't remember exactly and I sold that one), and that pretty much sets the tone for the entire series. :tongue_smilie:

Huh... We're just finishing up Apples (yes, I've been saying that for about 3 wks now). I read through the whole other thread and see that a sticker with closure was added to the end of dogs.
