Book Description
In this '80s satirical romance, what was once but a fling has grown stale. An age gap attraction has simply become sour and awkward. Liddy must break the news to Roland that she is done if she wants to go about her life and move on. One piece of her moving on happens to include finding a puppy for her roommate's daughter: a promise which she refuses to go back on. Amidst all this, Roland has news he needs to break to Liddy, as well. He's also done and ready to move on. They both quickly find themselves confused by their own feelings, which will culminate in the unlikeliest of places: the middle of an animal shelter. Once there, ruckus will abound! Will it bring them closer or drive them further apart? And when a new woman, Amara, enters the picture, how will she further complicate their feelings? Roland, caught in a love triangle, will have to make a decision. But first, he has to decide if his row with Liddy was simply a short term fling, or perhaps something deeper. If he doesn't figure it out, he may lose Liddy forever, even as a friend. Arm Wrestling for Puppies is the third installment of the Hijinks in Jenks series. If you enjoy romcom mixed with a bit of satire, this book is for you! Although this is part of a series, Rylee Shelton has written each book as a standalone, as well. So, readers can start from whatever point they wish! There are big plans for this series, spanning decades. This is just the beginning. Join the fun today!

Book Description
Smart Paws brought a warm feeling, gentleness and love, [and] knowledge of animal/bird life. There is pain, but also hope and humor. Importantly, [there is] encouragement for others to follow, without fear. ~ Helga Milberg, Dog trainer and board member of Tucson-based Handi-Dogs. A good dog will change your life When Eloise met Gamble, her first golden retriever, she befriended a gentle, generous soul who understood the art of being a healing presence. Years later, when overwhelming depression and debilitating physical challenges forever changed her lifestyle, outlook, and career, her life went to the dogs. Research about service dogs and the profound impact they can have on a life quickly became her one life-affirming activity. The partnership she envisioned would provide comfort and support by giving her new purpose, allowing her to conquer the many challenges her new life presented. A mental health counselor, artist, and animal lover, Eloise emphasizes the miraculous competencies of dogs who literally and figuratively open new doors for countless people challenged by physical or mental health problems. This is also a story about a very special dog named Rusty. Through Rusty, Eloise provides useful information for others interested in bringing a service animal into their lives. Eloise and Rusty explore how dogs have responded to our changing needs from prehistoric times to the present. Eloises lifelong experiences with animals and her study of the human-dog bond, including research into the evolution of the dog and their special intelligence, are candidly reflected in her tales about pets and partners.

Book Description
Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.
