A
Walk With Ovid
by Jennifer F. Knapp
Take a walk with Ovid as he enjoys a story about Baucis and Philemon,
originally told by his
namesake, the Roman poet, Publius Ovidius Naso, in his poem The Metamorphoses. After
meeting a kind boy who helps Ovid and his friend,
Lillian, this loveable pug learns that the lessons of
Baucis and Philemon’s story still hold true today.
Acclaimed columnist Margo
Kaufman fell in love with pugs when she was nineteen. But none of her
previous pets could compare with Clara, a glossy black, twelve-pound
package of pug charm and pugnacity with the face of an imp, the heart of a
ham, the seductive skills of a slut, and the deductive gifts of a genius.
It didn't take long for Clara to let her new pug parents know who was
ruling their California household--whether she's sipping Evian from a
cut-crystal bowl at Saks, or performing a star turn on PrimeTime Live.
Filled with the author's trademark wit and dry observations, Clara,
The Early Years: The Story of the Pug Who Ruled My Life is the
hilarious and heartwarming story of the unforgettable pug. Hardcover

version.
An outstanding comprehensive work that provides the educational
tools necessary to ahelp owners and their dogs adapt quickly to vision
problems with minimal stress.

Is a Pug the Right Dog for You?
Have you
considered buying or adopting a dog but aren't sure where to begin? Are
you intimidated and confused by the hundreds of dog breeds from which to
choose? Do you know how to properly bathe, groom, feed, and care for your
new puppy or dog once you've gotten it home?
if you're still uncertain whether a Pug is the perfect dog
for you, Daniel Tortora's book, The
Right Dog for You leads you step by step through a very detailed
personality questionnaire, narrowing the list of dogs as you go, to find
the ideal match for your personality, lifestyle and activity level.
Tortora also includes the negative information along with the positive.
Hopefully, if more people research the breeds to find one that will be a
more perfect soulmate than just going on curb appeal or popularity, then
there will be fewer animals in shelters and pounds. Caveat: Some
critics found this book in need of an update, as there are several breeds
who need to be included, but aside from that, this is the most extensive
and helpful book anyone could have in choosing the right dog for your
personality and lifestyle. Use it in conjunction with Chris
Walkowicz' "The Perfect Match: a Dog Buyer's Guide" to cover the breeds
not included in Tortora's book.
Dogs for Dummies should be required
reading for anyone considering purchasing or adopting a dog. In this
comprehensive, yet concise and entertaining book, author Gina Spadafori,
pet care columnist for Universal Press Syndicate and host of AOL's "Gina
Spadafori's Pet Connection," makes a strong case for researching breeds
and considering how certain types of dogs will or won't fit an owner's
lifestyle.Dogs for Dummies offers a complete, humorous reference to the
dogs, from choosing a puppy to caring for an older dog, from selecting a
kennel to traveling with a dog, from obedience school to shows at Madison
Square Gardens.

The Tellington TTouch is a technique originted by Linda
Tellington-Jones is a therapeutic massage technique for reducing tension
and changing behavior in dogs. It is designed to help you deepen your
relationship with your dog. Tellington-Jones is a horse trainer and
competitive rider who developed a method of circular touches to enhance
traditional training methods and complement medical treatments. The
techniques demonstrated in Dogs
& Puppies are based on a similar set of body awareness exercises
for humans developed by Moshe Feldnekrais; the principle is that the
exercises interrupt unacceptable behavior patterns and responses and allow
acceptable patterns to develop. Today, as non-traditional medicine gets a
workout, the TTouch is gaining acceptance.
