Anyone who loves horses will also love this book! The author perfectly describes the personalities of her horses, and she weaves a lesson of personal growth into a moving story about an abused horse. It's great! 		  
  







  
  
Good Owners, Great Dogs143 reviews
Brian Kilcommons, Sarah Wilson

Grand Central Publishing, 1999

What a great book - & I don't even have a dog yet!
My family and I (hopefully) will be adopting a Golden Retriever puppy in a few months. This book was recommended to me by my sister-in-law and the Golden breeder, and what a GREAT book! I'm in my second reading because the tips for preparing for a puppy, training, bonding, and having an all-around wonderful companion are numerous, but easy to understand and just plain common sense. I'll ...

The Monks of New Skete

Little, Brown and Company, 2002

Excellent book!!!
This is a revised addition of a wonderful book that has been around for a long time. The Monks are very impressive with their knowledge of dogs, their behavior and body language. The book teaches how to recognize the body language and how to correct unwanted behaviors. Their corrections are very quick and non abusive. They stress the necessity of being the pack leader but not in an overly ...

Rescuing Sprite: A Dog Lover's Story of Joy and Anguish347 reviews
Mark R. Levin

Pocket Books, 2007

heartwarming
As an owner of an older dog, this book had me in tears the entire time. While it's not eloquently written and rather short, it just hit me in the heart. The love this man has for this little dog is one that any true dog lover can relate to. The way he had to face Sprite's fate was very real. It's a process to face the mortality of someone you love so much. While it was a sad goodbye to Sprite, ... 		  
  







  
  
Geek Love: A Novel245 reviews
Katherine Dunn

Vintage, 2002

Absolutely Stunning Masterpiece
This is my favorite book of all time bar none...Katherine Dunn writes like the twisted offspring of John Irving and Bret Easton Ellis...I don't know what book was slipped to some of the other reviewers here, but there is no way they are reviewing the same book...much of what has been said already is true and plenty of the plot is here...just know that the Binewski family is one of the most ... 		  
  







  
  
YOU: Being Beautiful: The Owner's Manual to Inner and Outer Beauty
Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet C. Oz

Free Press, 2008

Most people think that beauty revolves around such things as lipstick, sweet eyes, or skinny jeans -- all those things that we can see (and obsess over) in the mirror. But the fact is that beauty isn't some superficial pursuit, and it's not some random act that you can thank (or curse) your ancestors for. There are, in fact, scientific standards to beauty. Beauty is purposeful, because it's how humans have historically communicated who we are to ...

Mehmet Oz, Michael F. Roizen

Collins Living, 2008

Simple and fun to read
Easy and fun to read with a good-size text. The information presented is very useful and more detail can be found on the author's detailed website. The book also lays very flat for easy reading while walking on my treadmill. 		  
  







  
  
Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook83 reviews
Debra M., DVM Eldredge, Liisa D., DVM Carlson, ...

Howell Book House, 2007

Dog Owner's Home Veterinary Handbook
I have a couple of paperback first aid books for dogs but I wanted something more comprehensive. We live in a rural area so a quick trip to the vet not possible. This does not take the place of seeing a vet when necessary, but the book gives easy to understand answers for many everyday problems and well organized.

Solid Info, Great Delivery
If there is a diet out there, I've tried it. This is the most comprehensive and yet understandable diet book out there. Everyone is different, and this book takes that into account. It doesn't beat you up, but gives you the tools needed to work with your limitations, such as genetics, hormones, etc. Identifies causes of weight problems that I've never heard before. THE best diet book out there. ...

Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, ...

Chicken Soup for the Soul, 2008

Are you a cat lover yet?
This is a big volume with enough cat stories to make your head spin... Cats are not like dogs - they have their own rules and they demand respect from their owners. But they are also your good friends who will purr you to sleep if you treat them with the love that they demand. Most of the stories in this book are amusing and uplifting, some of them are also heartbreaking, but all of them are ... 		  
  







  
  
Goodbye, Friend: Healing Wisdom for Anyone Who Has Ever Lost a Pet34 reviews
Gary Kowalski

New World Library, 2006

Wonderful, Very Helpful
After loosing my two girls aged 11 and 12 just 40 days apart, I could not deal with my grief of one much less two. Then after my wonderful Angie crossed over, I was devastated. Both had to be "put down". Our Jessie had a fusing back and went to pee, and collapsed, back breaking and nothing able to be done neither several years ago when x-rays were taken nor when she eventually collapsed. My ... 		  
  







  
  
The Known World295 reviews
Edward P. Jones

Amistad, 2003

Gorgeous
"The Known World" is one of the most beautifully written novels I've read. I savored it as as I do Nabokov or Garcia Marquez. If you appreciate a flawlessly structured narrative written with sublime economy of words; if you delight in reading a good story with deep philosophical undercurrents; if you live in pursuit of fine literature--- well, then, read this book. By the way, saying: "this ... 		  
  







  
  
The Baby Owner's Manual: Operating Instructions, Trouble-Shooting Tips, and Advice on First-Year Maintenance61 reviews
Louis Borgenicht, Joe Borgenicht

Quirk Books, 2003

Hysterical and well informed
Between this handbook and the 'Be Prepared' handbook for Dads, my husband really enjoyed reading this book to my belly every evening. It was funny yet useful at the same time. We also loved the different charts and pictures used. 		  
  







  
  
Good Dog. Stay.66 reviews
Anna Quindlen

Random House, 2007

A Little Gem
Anna Quindlen is a superb writer and she's done it again with "Good Dog. Stay". Ms. Quindlen is my kind of dog-lover: no gushing, no illusions that this wonderful creature has human feelings, and no compulsion to dress him up in silly clothes. Just respect for what he is: loyal, predictable (usually), goofy, and sweet. I get the title completely - I have an elderly dog (one of several in a ... 		  
  







  
  
YOU: The Owner's Manual: An Insider's Guide to the Body that Will Make You Healthier and Younger407 reviews
Michael F. Roizen, Mehmet Oz

Collins, 2005

Simple & easy guide to your body - it is not just for dummies, good for even the most "well read folks"
There is so much information about our body, diseases & fitness on the internet that most of us would think that we do not need to read another book on our bodies, hmm, well think of it again - do you really understand what and how does our arteries get clogged, what might cause cancer, or did you know that exercising more could actually do more harm ... I used to think that I am well read ... 		  
  







  
  
The Good Good Pig: The Extraordinary Life of Christopher Hogwood60 reviews
Sy Montgomery

Ballantine Books, 2007

A suprising and heart-warming find!
I didn't expect to buy this book. I hadn't heard about it. I wasn't even familiar with the author. But after just a quick scan of the first chapter, I was fully engrossed in the story of Christopher Hogwood. I couldn't put it down. The author skillfully integrates personal details of her own life into the story which no good animal story would be without. It is listed as a "biography, ...

HCI, 2005

My First Chicken Soup Soul Book!
The stories are wide ranged in nature but sorted in chapters where you can identify with your specific cat joy or sorrow. Some of the authors are well known. Others are amateurs who love a cat. The list of Contributors and Permissions speaks for itself. This book is truly literature for cat lovers. I read every story and love them all.
