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.

The Complete Works of Monty Dogge
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.

I was able to learn a lot from them and thought it was time to write down the knowledge I had gathered. The basics that throw the dog off balance are often overlooked.

Cats and dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years and are some of the most beloved pets worldwide. They are known for their loyalty, companionship, and playful nature. Horses, on the other hand, have a long history of working alongside humans in various activities, including transportation, agriculture, and sports.

Lastly, stick insects, also known as phasmids, are masters of disguise, blending seamlessly into their surroundings to avoid predators. In this book, we will delve into the world of these animals, exploring their characteristics, care requirements, and any potential risks associated with keeping them as pets.

The Cats Who Love(d) Me and the One Who Doesn’t
Cats can bring out latent talents in humans, and they do so with remarkable success for Joyce FitzGerald Galloway, as told in THE CATS WHO LOVE(D) ME AND THE ONE WHO DOESN'T. It all begins one stormy night when the author retrieves a drenched and frightened tiger kitten from a gutter near her home in Ireland. Penny is to lead the parade of these cats, cats with colorful beauty and remarkable individuality, as they are endowed with special gifts, all but one giving her affection. For instance, there's Spot, the watch-cat who thwarts a burglary, and Bunny, a cross between a rabbit and a clown. Here is a book that has cats cavorting through its pages, each brought to life by the author's descriptive powers that illuminate the surroundings. These cats that tap the author's ability to nurture also tap the reader's wonder in this entertaining and amusing book. "This book is bound to create more feline fanatics. It takes the reader behind the cat's clever intelligence, its devilish tricks, and its emotional attachment. It virtually guarantees homes for many a deserted kitten." - Walter Cronkite

These cats that tap the author's ability to nurture also tap the reader's wonder in this entertaining and amusing book. "This book is bound to create more feline fanatics. It takes the reader behind the cat's clever intelligence, its devilish tricks, and its emotional attachment. It virtually guarantees homes for many a deserted kitten." - Walter Cronkite

Beyond Obedience
Beyond Obedience is a revolutionary new training program for you and your dog from one of our country's foremost animal advocates and holistic practitioners. The idea that your canine companion is a fully emotional being and acutely sensitive to your changing feelings and moods is the foundation of April Frost's original and highly effective training program. One of the most difficult aspects of training a dog is clearly communicating your intentions. Beyond Obedience is the first book to work on the way you communicate with your dog, providing you with the necessary tools to truly understand how your dog's mind works and, therefore, how you can create an effective and mutually satisfying relationship. Drawing on her extensive experiences as an animal behaviorist, Frost teaches you that training your dog should not be a tedious chore limited to exerting physical and psychological control over an animal's drives, but instead an enriching and spiritually fulfilling experience--gratifying for both human and animal. Frost discusses such essential concepts as mutual respect, unconditional love, mental and emotional discipline, and your expectations and priorities. She shows you how the insights gained from working with your dog can have positive, far-ranging effects on many areas of your life. Beyond Obedience offers valuable insight into the emotional bonds that enrich the lives of animals and their companions.

This book takes you on a journey through the lives of four unique cats who brought an array of changes, challenges, and joys to our lives. The story begins with Tiggy, a confident cat who nonchalantly followed us home one day and decided to make our house her own. Next came Barney, whose initially promising relationship with us took a turn when he began exhibiting aggressive behaviour. Willow, a shy and timid cat, joined our family and slowly learned the joys of the outdoors, while Chase, the outgoing explorer, preferred the comforts of indoors and needed gentle persuasion to venture outside. Chase's story takes a touching turn when, after a change in my work schedule left him alone for longer periods, he began to visit local shops, people's homes, and most notably, a nearby care home. His presence there became so cherished that one of the residents, deeply missing him after his unfortunate accident, requested a special visit. The reunion between Chase and the resident, brought together in her wheelchair, was a profoundly emotional moment. This book is a tribute to the deep bond between humans and their feline companions, celebrating the unique personality of each cat and the indelible mark they leave on our hearts. Join us on this journey filled with laughter, challenges, and poignant memories, as we recount the unforgettable impact of Chase, Willow, Tiggy, and Barney.

Duel for the Crown
The epic saga of the riveting rivalry that enthralled a nation and spawned history's most thrilling Triple Crown chase. Affirmed and Alydar are as inseparably linked in legend as they were on the racetrack. Bound from conception by shared bloodlines of the great Native Dancer, this peerless pair of chestnut colts traded wins multiple times even before their showdown in the 1978 Kentucky Derby spurred an unmatchable rivalry that transcended the Triple Crown and the Sport of Kings itself. Their intertwined tale is a study in contrasts as stark as David and Goliath. If Alydar and his human connections personified racing royalty, Affirmed and his team embodied all the underdog outsiders who've had to claw their way into the winner's circle. Alydar was born into Bluegrass aristocracy as the royally bred pride of Kentucky's Calumet Farm, the old-money dynasty that had reigned over the Sport of Kings the same way the Damn Yankees dominated the national pastime. Affirmed, meanwhile, was born into the obscurity of a Florida farm funded by the new-money millions of a controversial Wall Street financier turned nouveau breeder. Contrasting styles made their differences even starker: the laidback Affirmed, all streamlined elegance, gliding with the grace of a deer and the heart of lion, versus the bullish Alydar, all massive muscle and machismo, stalking his nemesis while gearing up to unleash his fearsome closing kick. Riding on their backs were the dreams of colorful human personalities caught up in a battle of wits and wills: Lucille Markey, racing's grand dame entrusting her last chance at restoring Calumet's faded glory to John Veitch, a young Kentucky-bred trainer with a Hall of Fame pedigree. Lou Wolfson, the pioneer corporate raider staking his post-prison shot at redemption on journeyman trainer Laz Barrera, a charismatic Cuban immigrant with a knack for charming the best out of longshots like Affirmed. And, most famously, Steve Cauthen, the teen phenom celebrated as the world's top athlete even before riding Affirmed into the Triple Crown cauldron. The Kentucky Derby may be hyped as "the most exciting two minutes in sports," but Affirmed and Alydar's electrifying stretch showdowns only kept intensifying through both remaining jewels--the Preakness and the Belmont Stakes--of history's hardest-fought Triple Crown series. Duel for the Crown vividly tracks these two magnificent Thoroughbreds through every hoofbeat of their odyssey, climaxing with the Belmont stretch duel in the greatest race ever run as they desperately gallop head to head all the way to the inevitable photo finish--and beyond, into history and immortality.
