Dogtripping - David Rosenfelt Cover Art

Dogtripping

Dogtripping 25 Rescues, 11 Volunteers, and 3 RVs on Our Canine Cross-Country Adventure by David Rosenfelt

David Rosenfelt's Dogtripping is moving and funny account of a cross-country move from California to Maine, and the beginnings of a dog rescue foundation. When mystery writer David Rosenfelt and his family moved from Southern California to Maine, he thought he had prepared for everything. They had mapped the route, brought three GPSs for backup, as well as refrigerators full of food, and stoves and microwaves on which to cook them. But traveling with twenty-five dogs turned out to be a bigger ordeal than he anticipated, despite the RVs, the extra kibble, volunteers (including a few readers), and camping equipment. Rosenfelt recounts the adventure of moving his animal companions across the United States with humor and warmth, and tells the tale of how he and his wife became passionate foster parents for rescue dogs, culminating in the creation of the Tara Foundation and successfully placing several thousand dogs with loving families.

Your Dog Is Your Mirror - Kevin Behan Cover Art

Your Dog Is Your Mirror

Your Dog Is Your Mirror The Emotional Capacity of Our Dogs and Ourselves by Kevin Behan

In Your Dog Is Your Mirror , dog trainer Kevin Behan proposes a radical new model for understanding canine behavior: a dog’s behavior and emotion, indeed its very cognition, are driven by our emotion. The dog doesn’t respond to what the owner thinks, says, or does; it responds to what the owner feels . And in this way, dogs can actually put people back in touch with their own emotions. Behan demonstrates that dogs and humans are connected more profoundly than has ever been imagined — by heart — and that this approach to dog cognition can help us understand many of dogs’ most inscrutable behaviors. This groundbreaking, provocative book opens the door to a whole new understanding between species, and perhaps a whole new understanding of ourselves.

We develop much deeper bonds with our horses; we handle them with insight and kindness instead of force or command; we comprehend their misbehavior in ways that allow solutions; and we reduce the human mistakes we often make while working with them.

I’m Still Here - Cathryn Michon Cover Art

I’m Still Here

I’m Still Here A Dog's Purpose Forever by Cathryn Michon

NATIONAL BESTSELLER FOR FANS OF A DOG'S PURPOSE . This richly illustrated book reveals a comforting narrative told from the point of view of a loving angel dog, who wants you to know, “I’m still here . . . But I’m also there where all the animals run free, with no pain, waiting for you, watching for you, loving you, and guiding you.” Losing one’s dog is one of the most difficult experiences we go through and it’s hard to find solace. However, the profound, four-legged narrator of I’m Still Here has nothing but good news for humans. The free verse is equally rhapsodic about the eternal nature of our souls and the amazing sound of crinkly wrappers that means cheese is about to be sliced. This very good dog proclaims that love never dies, that we will meet again, and that if you ever doubted that humans are magnificent creatures, look no further than the humble ball. There is nothing to fear, because it is this dog’s purpose to pull you (like a bad dog who doesn’t know how to do “leash”) toward joy, and to remind you to relish all the naps and treats life has to offer. Author Cathryn Michon co-wrote the blockbuster hit film A Dog’s Purpose.  Elegant, full-color watercolor paintings by award-winning artist Seth Taylor make this sumptuous volume the perfect gesture of compassion for anyone who has ever said goodbye to a dog (or person) gone too soon, because it’s always too soon. It turns out that the best way to honor those we’ve loved and lost is to be here now, until we meet again.

The Book of Pet Love and Loss - Sara Bader Cover Art

The Book of Pet Love and Loss

The Book of Pet Love and Loss Words of Comfort and Wisdom from Remarkable People by Sara Bader

A powerful collection of quotations by writers, leaders, and legends on the pain of losing a pet and overcoming grief. An animal’s love is deep, uncomplicated, unconditional, and forgiving. “Affection without ambivalence” is how Sigmund Freud described the connection. “No matter how awful the day, or how awful I am behaving at any given moment, George doesn’t care,” writes journalist John Dickerson. “He finds me smoldering in my chair and dashes to my lap.” Our lives are intricately intertwined with our pets, and together, over time, we establish rituals that are as steady as a metronome. It’s no wonder the grief is crushing when they depart—even those who’ve had time to prepare describe feeling stunned, devastated, and cracked in two. “We were a bit broken up over the death of our black Persian cat,” crime novelist Raymond Chandler confessed. “When I say a bit broken up, I am being conventional. For us it was a tragedy.” Nobel Prize–winning author V. S. Naipaul described the experience as “calamitous,” and writer May Sarton called it a “volcanic eruption of woe.” Poet Emily Dickinson was so bereft she asked for help: “Carlo died,” she announced in a letter to her friend Thomas Wentworth Higginson in 1866. “Would you instruct me now?” The Book of Pet Love and Loss is a collection of quotations—poignant thoughts and memories discovered in letters, journals, diaries, memoirs, and other original sources—from beloved cultural figures who understood this singular experience so deeply, they felt compelled to write about it. This book dignifies the profound connection we share with our animal companions, but it also provides solace as mourners document their heartache over the loss of their cats, dogs, rabbits, birds, and other animals—even, in the case of Pablo Neruda, a mongoose. Their comforting and wise words are what every animal lover needs on this journey of heartbreak and healing.

They have been working alongside people for their known history, working as fighters, herders, and protectors. Today, the breed is utilized in work with military personnel, police, and security experts. At first glance, a well trained Rottie can be an intimidating sight, due to their size, muscle mass, and serious expression.This guide will walk you through the in's and out's of owning this phenomenal breed.

The Complete Cricket Breeding Manual

The Complete Cricket Breeding Manual Part 1 of 2 by Glenn Kvassay

This is by far the most complete and comprehensive cricket breeding guide available! Whether you want to produce crickets for private use, or large quantities for commercial production, this 110 page manual will show you how. Breeding crickets has never been easier with "step by step" instructions in conjunction with more than a massive 220 photos, tables and diagrams. Most of this manual can also be used to breed cockroaches. Save yourself big $$$.... Like myself, you probably started breeding crickets as your animals were costing you a fortune. Sadly for the consumer, purchasing crickets from a pet store is expensive and often results in the disappointing experience of purchasing dead or dying crickets. Keeping a single bearded dragon can cost you tens of thousands of dollars over your life.The savings mount up the more wildlife you keep, which seems to be an occupational hazard for wildlife and reptile enthusiasts! Wildlife parks and zoos can also save many thousands of dollars each year, converting waste scraps into crickets or cockroaches. Make your life easier- More crickets with less effort and time! Many of us start breeding crickets in an adhoc manner, with a messy and time consuming cleaning routine, struggling to maintain enough crickets for your growing reptile collection. Unfortunately many people give up, due to the demanding maintenance required by incomplete web descriptions or other guides. With the systems and techniques contained in this manual you will be able to produce large amounts of crickets inexpensively, consistently and with minimal effort (around the same effort as cockroaches). This manual is the only book which covers conventional techniques and new innovative techniques found nowhere else!

Pets and the City

Pets and the City True Tales of a Manhattan House Call Veterinarian by Dr. Amy Attas

One of Washington Post ’s 5 “Feel-Good Books” of Summer 2024 New York City’s premier “house call veterinarian” takes you into the exclusive penthouses and four-star hotel rooms of the wealthiest New Yorkers and shows that, when it comes to their pets, they are just as neurotic as any of us. When a pet is sick, people—even the rich and famous—are at their most authentic and vulnerable. They could have a Monet on the wall and an Oscar on the shelf, but if their cat gets a cold, all they want to talk about are snotty noses and sneezing fits. That’s when they call premier in-home veterinarian Dr. Amy Attas. In Pets and the City , Dr. Amy shares all the funny, heartbreaking, and life-affirming experiences she’s faced throughout her thirty-year career treating the cats and dogs of New Yorkers from Park Avenue to the projects. Some of her stories are about celebs, like the time she saw a famous singer naked (no, her rash was not the same as her puppy’s). Others are about remarkable animals, like the skilled service dog who, after his exam was finished, left the room and returned with a checkbook in his mouth. Every tale in this rollicking, informative, and fun memoir affirms a key truth about animal, and human, nature: Our pets love us because their hearts are pure; we love them because they’re freaking adorable. On some level, we know that by caring for them, we are the best version of ourselves. In short: Our pets make us better people.
