My Velvet Elvis
"My Velvet Elvis is a memoir that centers on the experiences the writer had with certain animals. Ruth L Kirk, in her book, revealed a lot about these animals such as their nature, how she adopted them, what she felt about them, the roles they played in her life, and some qualities they had. I was amazed when I read the part of the book that the writer revealed the effect a particular animal had on her. This animal made her take a tremendous step. You can only discover this by reading the book. The positive comments I've made...proves that it deserves a perfect rating. Therefore, I'm rating it fourout of four stars." -- Faithy-Star, Official Online Book Club

Feeding Time
Tribble dove straight down into the pizza, landing there with a distinct thump. Extricating himself was no easy matter, given that I'd ordered extra cheese this time around. Whenever he pulled up one of his paws and made a bid for freedom, a ribbon of viscous cheese came up with him. The more he tried to free himself, the more the cheese spread over his front paws, face, and fur. The dilemma was beyond his ken, and it showed in his befuddled eyes and frantic meows. Only with my help could he get free, and cleaning him off thoroughly took the better part of an hour.

Feral Cats Changed Our Lives
Feral Cats Changed Our Lives: Adopt the ChallengeBy: Janet E. Swinehart and David A. SwinehartWhile writing this book, Janet E. Swinehart looked to God and knows He has given these wonderful creatures, these feral, rescued cats, Summer, Snippy, and Katie, to her and her husband David to love. Janet and David's story tells about the patience, love, and disappointments that these friends have brought to their lives.Feral cats are not ordinary cats, and they have a strange nature. On many occasions, Janet found herself praying for herself and her husband, because at times her patience was thin. Summer, Snippy, and Katie are true feral cats, and though Janet was told in books never to try to train them (because it's almost an impossible mission), she was determined they were going to become cute, cuddly, and friendly babies-but you will soon see that became a significant challenge!There were some very funny, as well as very scary times, and parts of the story may make you want to cry like she did. Though certain things could have been done differently, experience over time helped Janet and Dave to be more successful in their endeavors.Walk with them on this journey of raising feral cats, and learn from these episodes. The Swineharts believe that God gave them pets to keep them company and give them a release from the seriousness of day-to-day life. Hopefully, reading this book will inspire you to find a companion of your own to enrich life by caring for a future friend who needs a helping hand.So, put your kitty boots on, and be on your way!About the AuthorsJanet E. Swinehart and David A. Swinehart were married when she was 15 years old and he was 17, and the duo has now been together for over 48 years. They have faced many trials over the years (Janet was diagnosed with Hodgkins' Disease when she was 26 years old and given six months to a year to live, yet she just celebrated her sixty-fourth birthday), but their love is strong and enduring. They never stop thanking God for His miracle healing.Janet has owned Guardian Travel Inc. for 25 years. She loves the travel industry and loves traveling to worldwide destinations as a continual education to be able to pass her knowledge and experiences on to her clients.Adopting feral cats was the last thing she and David ever expected to be doing at this stage of their lives! It just so happens that Janet fell in love with three beautiful, lost kittens and knew there had to be a way to save them. So, they took the feral challenge and never looked back. That decision has turned out to be a true blessing in their lives in countless ways.

It's never long enough
As our dog's muzzle turns grey and their footsteps begin to wobble, we often wonder what more we can do to ensure our aging companion's well-being. Based on more than 15 years of veterinary visits with her geriatric dog patients and their families, new studies in animal and human health related to aging, and a lifetime of heartfelt tales about her own beloved senior dogs, Dr. Mary Gardner answers vital questions pet parents ask about how to extend and enhance older dogs' lives and better manage the pressures of caregiving for ailing dogs.

Memories of Lili
Who could resist a sweet, playful puppy with beautiful Cleopatra-like eyes in the window of a pet shop? Certainly not author Maria de Andrade, whose life was about to become much more lively and exciting thanks to the addition of a charming and adventurous little Beagle to the family.Memories of Lili is a heart-warming story about the life of Lili, a lovable Beagle with a penchant for running away from home and eating everything and anything she could get her paws on. From early on, Lili's sweet personality and kind demeanor charmed everyone-and everything-she met. From neighbours (both of the human and animal variety) and family members to complete strangers, everyone Lili encountered on her much-loved outings couldn't help but adore her. Although Lili liked the company of other dogs, was fascinated by cats and other animals and loved to be around people, her greatest pleasures in life were food, stealing things from her humans (especially food), long walks and excursions, and escaping her yard by any means possible. As if Lili's escapades weren't exciting enough, the addition of Miko the Miniature Poodle certainly spiced things up for de Andrade and her family and particularly for Lili. Though very different in their behaviours and personalities, Lili and Miko became accomplices and the best of friends, providing the family with more love, joy and amusement-as well as frustration and heartbreak-than they ever thought possible. If you've ever had a dog with a quirky personality that made you question dog behaviour as you know it, then Memories of Lili is for you.

Starve Cancer Feed Your Dog! A Nutrition Regimen for the Prevention and Treatment of Cancer in Dogs
In this important book, the authors present a nutritional regimen that helps dogs diagnosed with cancer maintain their body weight while at the same time denying the cancer what it needs to grow. Perhaps the scariest impact of cancer is seeing your dog's lean body mass waste away, causing them to rapidly lose strength. The recommendations in this book are not going to cure them, but it improves their quality of life and extends life expectancy.From the Foreword by Sarah Lyles, DVM, DACVIM (Oncology)Nutrition is a sensitive and sometimes controversial subject in veterinary medicine. As an oncologist, I want to make recommendations based on published data and science, of which there is little in the field of nutrition for veterinary oncology. There are so many ways to "feed the body," to maintain health, decrease inflammation, and naturally promote healing for several conditions. For some chronic diseases, such as chronic kidney disease, nutrition is the main source of therapy! Unfortunately, for cancer, there is less data. Cancer is also diverse, with highly variable outcomes depending on cancer type and treatment modality chosen. With few publications showing proven benefits, I often feel I cannot make strong recommendations about dietary therapy for my cancer patients. It would be nice if more were known. However, Drs. Cowden and McMillan have compiled a comprehensive book of what is known. They have reviewed books and peer-reviewed articles on cancer nutrition in pets, to create a how-to guide and provide information all in one place. They did this for you, having been in your shoes. No more scouring the internet, uncertain if the recommendations are trustworthy, and feeling overwhelmed by conflicting opinions. Think of this book as a resource, providing you with everything you need to know about complete nutrition for your dog with cancer.Dr. Jo Cowden, a retired professor at the University of New Orleans, lives in River Ridge, Louisiana, with her rescue Siberian Husky, Luna Blue.Dr. Connie McMillan is a practicing vet and lives with her three dogs in Harahan, Louisiana

One Unwavering Friend - Heartwarming Tales of Men and Dogs
After studying the lives of men who appear in this book, I concluded I was part of a community that I did not know existed. Dickens, Darwin, Byrd, and Freud. All friends that I never knew but nonetheless feel connected to through their love of dogs. It struck me one day that I took a cue from these men. To really understand who they were you must look to their dogs. The bond reveals an aspect of men that was not commonly known or in some cases, purposefully hidden from view. To really see these places where man meets dog offers a fresh perspective, windows into the best parts of who we are. I think back 50 years ago to when I was 5 years old. At the time I was somewhat obsessed with drawing dogs driving cars. Recently, I unfolded one of these masterpieces that I had tucked away long ago. On the back of the image was my child-like scrawl explaining the drawing on the other side. The words referred to the canine in the driver's seat. But what caught my attention was the mention of "Chris Dog" a reference to my own pedigree. By my reckoning, I was part dog. The piece itself was not exactly a foreshadowing of a promising art career. Instead, it spoke to the way I would motor through my life, with a canine companion at my side.
