From
the impishness of kittens to the regal mystery of adult cats,
our feline companions never cease to captivate our hearts and
imaginations. Chicken Soup for the Cat Lover's Soul celebrates
our feline friends, and the people who love them, in all their
varied splendor: their independence, their msystique, their
playfulness, and, yes, even their disdain. |

Our best
friends. From the dawn of civilization they have been cherished
as loyal companions, exuberant playmates, and healing and
gentle souls. Chicken Soup for the Dog Lover's Soul truly
captures the special bond and joy these four-legged creatures
bring to our lives and hearts: from the first crazy, sleepless
weeks of puppy's life in a new home to tales of adventure,
healing, humor and learning.

Getting
a dog is more like getting married than it is like buying a
new car or lawnmower—it’s a melding of spirits and
a lifetime commitment. So, before you take the leap, you’d
better make sure that your choice is based on more than a nice
smile and a lively tail. And with more than 400 breeds to choose
from, it shouldn’t be too hard to find the right canine
companion for you. Looking for a fun-loving pal for lots of
rough and tumble family fun? You might try a Boxer or Spinone.
Are you a neat-freak who values quiet? The meticulously clean,
cat-like Basenji—the handsome Egyptian barkless dog—is
for you. Looking for a dependable, even-tempered guard dog/baby-sitter?
You might want to consider the fierce-looking Neapolitan Mastiff.
No matter
what qualities you’re looking for in a dog, there’s
a breed out there for you, and Choosing a Dog For Dummies
can help you find it. Written by Chris Walkowicz, President
of the Dog Writer’s Association of America, this friendly
guide fills you in on what you need to know.

This
is a wonderful book about a city dweller, Jon Katz, and his
venture into the farm life with his beloved border collies,
a flock of sheep, and other farm animals. It's a lighthearted
book well worth reading! |

I
haven't read this book yet, but I've heard it's hilariously
funny!
