A Small Furry Prayer: Dog Rescue and the Meaning of Life Steven Kotler Steven Kotler was forty years old and facing an existential crisis—which made him not too different from just about every other middle-aged guy in Los Angeles. Then he met Joy, a woman devoted to the cause of canine rescue. "Love me, love my dogs," was her rule, and not having any better ideas, Steven took it to heart. Together with their pack of eight dogs—then fifteen dogs, then twenty-five dogs, then, well, they lost count—Steven and Joy bought a tiny farm in a tiny town in rural New Mexico and started the Rancho de Chihuahua, a sanctuary for dogs with special needs. While dog rescue is one of the largest underground movements in America, it is also one of the least understood. This insider look at the cult and culture of dog rescue begins with Kotler's personal experience working with an ever-peculiar pack of dogs and becomes a much deeper investigation into exactly what it means to devote one's life to the furry and the four-legged. Along the way, Kotler combs through every aspect of canine-human relations, from human's long history with dogs through brand new research into the neuroscience of canine companionship, in the end discovering why living in a world of dogs may be the best way to uncover the truth about what it really means to be human. |

Raising Chickens For Eggs James Paris Raising your own chickens, whether raising chickens for eggs or for the meat, is something that more and more people are getting involved in, and with good reason. Food straight from the source, whether that be keeping chickens for eggs, or growing vegetables, is always preferable to anything that has been lying on a supermarket shelf for who knows how long.
Keeping chickens healthy and productive is the aim of this information book, and through my own and others experiences in keeping poultry of many kinds, I hope the information contained here will be invaluable to your own chicken keeping ambitions.
What you will find in this publication:
• Information on some of the best chickens to keep for a bumper egg harvest.
• How to build a coop that is vermin free, and all about vermin and predator control.
• How to spot signs of ill health in your chickens and how to keep them healthy and productive.
• How to keep chickens over the winter so you they will still lay eggs – no matter how harsh the conditions.
• General feeding and care of your poultry. |

Animal Attraction (Kindle Single) Anna David Anna David never expected to end up a crazy cat lady. A successful author (Party Girl, Bought, Reality Matters, Falling For Me) and dating expert for numerous television shows (including The Today Show, The CBS Morning Show and G4’s Attack of the Show), David had every reason to imagine that at this point in her life, she’d be sharing her bed with a man and not two four-legged furballs. In Animal Attraction, the author that The New York Post credits with creating the subgenre “Chick Lit With a Message” shares the unusual journey she took from fun-loving party gal to obsessive cat mom (with the Instagram photos and YouTube videos to prove it). The result is an uproarious, poignant, and painfully honest tribute that’s sure appeal to pet (and people) lovers everywhere.
