Book Description
Dedicated to the “American gentleman” of dogs, one of the most pleasant and entertaining companion dogs in the world, the Boston Terrier, this Smart Owner’s Guide, created by the editors at Dog Fancy magazine, offers the most up-to-date and accurate information every dog owner needs to become a well-informed caregiver for his dog. Illustrated with color photographs of adorable puppies and handsome adults, this easy-to-read primer is designed in a modern, lively manner that readers will find user-friendly and entertaining. Each Smart Owner’s Guide offers a description of the breed’s character and physical conformation, historical overview, and its attributes as a companion dog. The reader will find informative chapters on everything he or she needs to know about acquiring, raising, and training this remarkable purebred dog, including: finding a breeder and selecting a healthy, sound puppy; preparing for the puppy’s homecoming, shopping for supplies, and puppy-proofing the home; house-training; veterinary and home health maintenance; feeding and nutrition; and grooming. Obedience training for basic cues (sit, stay, heel, come, etc.) and solving potential problem behaviors (barking, chewing, aggression, jumping up, etc.) are addressed in separate chapters, as are activities to enjoy with the dog, including showing, agility, therapy work, and more. Entertaining tidbits and smart advice fill up colorful sidebars in every chapter, which the editors call “It’s a Fact,” “Smart Tip,” “Notable & Quotable,” and “Did You Know?” Real-life heroes and rescue stories are retold in full-page features called “Pop Pups” and “True Tails.” Recipes, training, and care tips are highlighted in the “Try This” feature pages. The Smart Owner’s Guide series is the only series that offers readers an online component in which dog owners can join a breed-specific online club hosted by dogchannel.com. At Club Boston, owners of the breed can find forums, blogs, and profiles to connect with other breed owners, as well as charts and checklists that can be downloaded. More than just 20,000 pages of solid information, there’s a host of fun to be had at the club in the form of downloadable breed-specific e-cards, screensavers, games, and quizzes. The Resources section of the book includes contact information for breed-related organizations and rescues, as well as practical guidance on traveling with dogs, identification, and locating qualified professionals to assist the dog owner, such as pet sitters, trainers, and boarding facilities. This information-packed Smart Owner’s Guide is fully indexed.

A Big Easy Christmas
Author: Sue Ward Drake
Publisher: Sue Ward Drake
ISBN: 099857676X
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 119
Book Description
The Guidry brothers cook a special Christmas dinner for family and friends… THE GIFTS OF CHRISTMAS Christmas is only days away and Cath Guidry, French Quarter ghost tour guide, wants to find a special gift for her husband, Mitch, for their first Christmas together. The stray puppy she rescues is too impractical for them to keep, and she’s relieved when Mitch’s elderly Aunt Edi insists she’ll take the darling dog off her hands. Not only that. His aunt also suggests a gift for Mitch: refurbishing an abandoned, but sentimental, old watch. Before Cath can get this to the repairman, she has a run-in with a robber, escaping harm with only a smashed phone and a broken keepsake necklace. Mitch consoles her and, newly inspired as to his own special gift for her, vows to repair the necklace. To keep her safe, Mitch won’t let her out of his sight, but how can they keep their special gifts secret until Christmas? NEW YEAR, NEW LOVE When her ex-boyfriend reappears in her life and is impossible to shake, French Quarter cocktail waitress, Rhonda Owens, calls on the handsome New Orleans police detective she met at a friend’s Christmas dinner. Widower Tony LeNoux never expects to find love again, certainly not during the holidays. But Rhonda sparkles like a diamond. After sharing lunch po-boys in Jackson Square, a trip to Storyland to hear his niece’s class Christmas concert shows them what they can have together. But they must both put their pasts behind them. Rhonda confides in Tony about the near fatal motorcycle accident instigated by her ex and Tony must share his guilt over his wife’s death. With both their pasts finally banished, Tony and Rhonda move forward on New Year’s Eve with the own future storybook romance.
