Did You Ever Wonder
Author: Jeff NystromPublisher: Xlibris Corporation
ISBN: 149317388X
Category : Humor
Languages : en
Pages : 333
Book Description
Warning: If youve ever owned a dog, you should enjoy the following book. This book contains 321 cartoons which hopefully will make you smile, chuckle, and perhaps wet yourself (assuming you are older like me!) In my first book Did You Ever Wonder Thinking Outside My Box, my cartoons and their topics were fairly random sort of like stream of conscientiousness writing. This book starts out in a somewhat similar fashion but does eventually develop a couple of story lines. In the early part, youll be introduced to a number of characters but the bulk of the book will focus on Spike, Chico, and Grandpaw. Initially I considered splitting this material into two separate books but didnt think there was enough meat for both books to stand or squat separately. The last thing I wanted to do with a dog story is not have enough meat in it. If I didnt, Id have all the doggie lovers out there howling for my blood not to mention begging for more treats! Regardless, these cartoons were written with the intent of brightening your day! So take off you game face, relax, and let the sunlight enter! JAN PS Dogs like young children enjoy having stories read to them too! Please dont make them beg!

Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 226
Book Description
Remarkable cattle drives, famous ranches and legendary characters are at the heart of Ken Mather's account of the early days of ranching in British Columbia. These are stories about drovers, ranchers, cowboys and "mud pups" (the remittance men of the ranching industry). You'll meet such people as: the flamboyant Harper brothers, drovers who went on to become the biggest landowners in BC, with interests in the Harper, Perry, Hat Creek and famous Gang ranches Johnny Wilson, one of the most successful ranchers in the industry, who became known as the "BC Cattle King" Jim Madden, nicknamed "Big Kid" for his exuberant personality and childish innocence and whose simple lifestyle and colourful adventures made him famous in the Nicola and surrounding valleys Coutts Marjoribanks, a mud pup whose skills as a cowboy—and his exploits, such as riding his horse up the steep steps and into the Kalamalka Hotel bar—far outshone his talents as the ranch manager his rich family forced him to be. The story begins at the time of BC's first gold rush, and the start of a decade that would see more than 22,000 head of cattle brought into the colony. The author takes readers through to 1914, by which time ranching in the BC Interior had become big business. Complete with informative tidbits about the cowboy's tools of the trade, Buckaroos and Mud Pups is an entertaining look at fascinating times and the men who made them so.
Be a Canine Midwife

Pages : 87
Book Description
Throughout the years of creating toy schnauzers (under twelve inches tall), discovering their mating rituals was so awesome. Through research, I conclude that people have been preforming duties as canine midwives for centuries, and they didn't realize that was what they were doing As far as I know, no one had written about this level of care and love for canines. My most exciting discovery was the canine mating dance. The most profound discovery was realizing that there is a direct relationship between the number times a pair mates to the exact number of times the dam pauses in between delivery, where each time she rests. This relationship is what I called whelping Pattern. Each time the dam has one or more pups then rests is what I call birth set. I just wish that I had video recorded everything. Seeing is so much more exciting than reading.
