Loving Life on Three Legs - Tripawd Basics Volume 2
Loving Life on Three Legs is the first canine fitness and conditioning handbook specifically for keeping three legged dogs healthy and strong. This second canine amputation recovery and care guide from Tripawds is filled with information and professional advice to help you keep your dog loving life on three legs. While Tripawd dogs can do anything a four-legger can do, it doesn't necessarily mean they should. Recent mobility studies on three-legged dogs and observations by orthopedic veterinarians tell us that over time there is a price to pay for losing one leg, regardless of the dog's fitness level, breed, or age. Over time, all Tripawds are at risk of painful conditions like early osteoarthritis and increased risk of injuries to their remaining limbs. If their human isn't good about monitoring their Tripawd's activity and diet, the risk is even greater. The good news is, there so much we can do to help our three-leggedhero stay strong and injury-free. And this book is your guide. Now in its Fourth Edition, this essential amputee dog care handbook has been updated to include more information about advances in veterinary medicine, current member profiles, and excerpts from Tripawd Talk Radio podcast interviews. The true value of Tripawds e-books is the hundreds of direct links included to quickly find more comprehensive information online without having to spend time searching. To reduce the price, content has been removed and the formatting optimized for paperback printing. This Basics Volume is an edited version of the Loving Life on Three Legs Premium E-book. Content, photos, bonus material, and formatting have been removed. Tripawds member profiles and content provided by veterinary experts has been truncated or removed. Download includes coupon for $5 Off the Premium E-book.

How To Give Your Dog A Real Dog's Life - ...and Make Him Love You For It!
Dogs of a certain breed may share some behavioural characteristics. For example, most Labradors enjoy swimming and love to fetch a ball or a stick, because retrieving fallen game is what they were designed to do. There are exceptions to every rule, but knowing a breed's designed behavioural (as well as physical) characteristics will help you to decide on a dog that will likely be a good fit for you and your lifestyle. The more research you do before you go to choose your dog, the more likely you are to get the best dog for you and / or your family or environment. You are taking the right first step now by considering this book. Almost everyone has fond memories of being with animals when they were young, it is what makes people try to reproduce the situation either for themselves or their children, but what most people forget, is that their parents trained those animals, they did not just come like that. There is no such thing as a perfect pet, perfect dog, perfect human or perfect anything. There is as good as you're going to get, as best as you can make it and what best suits you.

The Tao of Equus (Revised)
After more than 20 years in print, an updated edition of the evocative and transformational classic about the powerful bond between women and horses When Linda Kohanov wrote The Tao of Equus over twenty years ago, she posed questions that few were asking: Do horses make choices? How do they seem to know what people are thinking and feeling? Are horses spiritual beings? What do they have to teach people? Why are women so attracted to horses? The answers, detailed in this extraordinary chronicle that synthesizes science, behavioral research, and personal insight, transformed how we think about one of humanity's oldest companions and established Kohanov at the vanguard of the emerging field of animal-assisted learning/therapy. In this updated edition, Kohanov weaves new developments in neurological science and scholarship into her original exploration of spiritual awakening, cultural history, and mythology. The Tao of Equus delves into the mental and spiritual processes behind the magical connections that people often experience with horses. It remains a powerful exploration of the feminine wisdom horses model, subtleties that women riders have intuited for centuries.
Listen To Them
I love animals. I love animals, and I am painfully aware of their relentless disenfranchisement in the face of the continual advancement of civilization. Recently, we all were reminded of this disenfranchisement when it was pointed out that some areas of our civilization, having been vacated by humans due to the pandemic, have seen animals once more venturing out into places they once called home. Granted this advancement of civilization is necessary given our hunger for continual progress. But sometimes while busily reaching out for that that is before us, we sometimes tend to ignore, minimize, and even cast aside that that is beside us. Should we have the good fortune to have a relationship with an animal, perhaps our pet or one we accidentally come across, strengthen that bond, however brief, by giving ear and even an eye to its side of that relationship. Listen to them and consider. Perhaps not with a tree but surely with humans and with pets, every true relationship should have a value that lasts even unto death. This book is meant to encourage such an eventuality.
Your End of the Lead
Living with a dog is supposed to be fun, right? But when your dog is reactive, walks can be a nightmare - filled with the stress of trying to avoid other dogs or people. And many of the things you planned to do with your dog - family days out, doggy sports, relaxing holidays - are out of the question altogether. You tense up when you see someone coming. It only makes things worse, but it is hard not to when you know how your dog is going to behave. You are embarrassed and desperate. You feel like such a failure and just want it to stop.Reactivity is hard to live with but when we think of it as just a dog issue - that our dog has a problem behaviour that we have to modify - we are missing half of the story.

Plumes from Paradise
The natural resources of New Guinea and nearby islands have attracted outsiders for at least 5000 years: spices, aromatic woods and barks, resins, plumes, sea slugs, shells and pearls all brought traders from distant markets. Among the most sought-after was the bird of paradise. Their magnificent plumes bedecked the hats of fashion-conscious women in Europe and America, provided regalia for the Kings of Nepal, and decorated the headdresses of Janissaries of the Ottoman Empire.Plumes from Paradise tells the story of this interaction, and of the economic, political, social and cultural consequence for the island's inhabitants. It traces 400 years of economic and political history, culminating in the 'plume boom' of the early part of the 20th century, when an unprecedented number of outsiders flocked to the island's coasts and hinterlands.The story teems with the variety of people involved: New Guineans, Indonesians, Chinese, Europeans, hunters, traders, natural historians and their collectors, officials, missionaries, planters, miners, adventurers of every kind. In the wings were the conservationists, whose efforts brought the slaughter of the plume boom to an end and ushered in an era of comparative isolation for the island that lasted until World War II.

Pets and the City
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.

Breed Differences in Dog Behavior
Humans have bred dogs for physical and behavioral characteristics for millennia. These efforts can have unintended side effects, however, which may be either advantageous or cause issues - such as a predisposition to certain medical complaints, or, controversially, behavioural issues. The scientific study of domestic dogs is still in its infancy, but public demand for this information is at a record high as more and more pet owners seek to understand their canine family members. Focusing on the behavioral differences and tendencies that have arisen in different breed lines, this book explores, summarizes, and explains the scientific evidence on what breed can tell us about behaviour - and, crucially, what it cannot. This book covers: - the impact of inbreeding, how it contributes to problematic behavioral issues such as anxiety and aggression, and how it potentially affects the future health of the breed;- the limits of predicting a dog's behavior based upon breed, individual differences within breeds, and thus the corresponding limitations of breed-specific legislation;- guidance for professionals to help their clients better understand behavioral issues, traits, and appropriate expectations around the right breed for their household. Providing a comprehensive and approachable view of the science behind breed-specific behaviors, this book gives dog enthusiasts from all professional and personal backgrounds a better understanding of why dogs do what they do, and how we can improve our relationships with our canine companions. Covering genetics, phylogeny of canids, temperament, aggression, social behavior, and the history of dog breeding, it is an important read for researchers, students, veterinary practitioners and animal behaviourists, as well as shelter staff, dog trainers, or anyone looking for a greater understanding of dog breed differences.

Wyming Wendlesday started back in 2017 and originally began with a silly weekly poem just to start everyone's day with a smile.It became very popular and kind of took on a life of its own with Monty the self-titled Poet Newfiette penning verses about his life in Wigwam, observations of his hoomans, and his agony of sharing a home with Cookie aka the Heffalump aka the Hairy Hippo, and of course the Spangles.When the 'Cwissymouse' poems started in 2015 they were so popular that we had the idea of asking for a donation to charity leading up to their release the week before the big day.This resulted in thousands of pounds being raised for animal welfare, veterans and children's charities.Monty passed in 2022 but not before sharing his life with everyone through his stories and poems. This book has been a labour of love for me and a lovely way to honour his memory.I hope you enjoy the complete works of Monty Dogge and they bring a smile to your day. I know that would make him very happy.
