Who could resist? 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I've been buying this calendar since I first discovered it. I can't resist those adorable faces--and those eyes. A puppy a day and each one is a treasure. I look at them and it makes my day start out happy. And there's plenty of room to pencil in your to do list for the day and check the upcoming holidays.

This is the calendar you were looking for 5 out of 5 stars.

Avoid imitations! This, the original 365 Puppies calendar from Workman Publishing, is the original and definitive cute-picture kitchen calendar. Year after year, it simply cannot be out-cuted, and the large daily squares give the user plenty of room to write events, appointments, reminders, and what-have-you. Plus, you can submit your own puppy pics for use in the next year's calendar.

A gift to dogs and their humans 5 out of 5 stars.
4 of 4 people found this review helpful.

I love any information that allows us to better understand a species that doesn't communicate via human language. Dogs certainly have a wonderful ally in Jean Donaldson. Her explanations are clear and insightful, based on science rather than subjective interpretation. Anyone who reads this book will have a much better understanding of how to interact respectfully and effectively with dogs. And isn't that what dogs really and truly deserve?

Editorial Review:

*The Culture Clash is special. Written in Jean's inimitably informal yet precise lecture style, the book races along on par with a good thriller. *The Culture Clash depicts dogs as they really are - stripped of their Hollywood fluff, with their loveable 'can I eat it, chew it, urinate on it, what's in it for me' philosophy. Jean's tremendous affection for dogs shines through at all times, as does her keen insight into the dog's mind. Relentlessly she champions the dog's point of view, always showing concern for their education and well being. Without a doubt, Jean's book is the hottest doggy item on the market. Best Training Book Of The Year! (Maxwell Award)

These are beautiful thoughts and beautiful photographs of a very astute canine author! Well worth the time and money invested!

Editorial Review:

Many readers wonder what inspires the creative genius of bestselling suspense writer Dean Koontz. Much of the credit must go to Trixie, the golden retriever who has taught him things about life that no human ever could. Trixie shows us how to be happy every moment of the day, except those fleeting moments after a meal when the dish is (temporarily) empty. Dogs know how to work hard and to play even harder. With words of wisdom only a bird dog knows, and beautiful photos to warm your heart, this book will lift your spirits and make your leg shake uncontrollably with pleasure!

Trixie wrote LIFE IS GOOD to support her friends who are service dogs for people with disabilities. She is donating her royalties to Canine Companions for Independence (CCI), the national organization that breeds and trains assistance dogs for adults and children with disabilities.

Editorial Review:

As an accomplished doctor of veterinary medicine, Martin Goldstein is well respected for his 25 years worth of experience in the field--experience he effectively utilizes in conjunction with his expertise in holistic medicine in his new book, The Nature of Animal Healing: The Path to Your Pet's Health, Happiness, and Longevity. Goldstein begins with a broad explanation of the origins of diseases in pets, then moves on to taking action against those diseases, not only offering thorough discussions of specific ailments--including cancer, allergies, and arthritis--and the holistic medicines available to help in the healing process, but also speaking to the "dubious legacy of vaccines" as well as the questionable quality of pet food. Finally, Goldstein turns his attention to the spiritual realm, addressing both the bonds that we have with our pets--and how those bonds aid in preventing and fighting our pets' health problems--as well as dealing with the death of a beloved pet. Goldstein's expert advice, inclusion of inspiring real-life cases, and thorough resource "compendium of holistic books, newsletters, Web sites, veterinarians, and associations" make this book a valuable addition to any pet owner's library. --Julia King

A must for "Doxie" lovers everywhere! 5 out of 5 stars.
12 of 12 people found this review helpful.

If you love Dachshunds or know anyone that does, this is the book to get or give as a gift! The pictures are absolutley adorable and funny - puppies, different colors, different poses, costumes - very sweet!
The text, written as a "doxie" describes the dog very accurately and uses several quotes in just the right places.
A great book for "Doxie" lovers and a great little "pick me up" book for anyone else!

Little book, Big fun! 5 out of 5 stars.
5 of 5 people found this review helpful.

How can you go wrong with a photographic book about dachshunds?
Author Melissa Sovet has captured the long and short of the spirited breed. There are photos of doxies with bling, doxies being naughty, as well as doxies being charioted by working dogs.

If you love doxies you need this book!

Editorial Review:

Guts, spunk, nerve, grit - all describe the short-statured and decidedly spirited dachshund. Herr Schnappsie, a venerable doxie with moxie in his own right, relates what being a dachshund is all about accompanied by hilarious color photographs of every type of dachshund. Photos are paired with text on being plucky, dauntless, and as tough (and sweet) as a doxie.

funniest calendar ever! 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

i have the 2008 version & can't wait to see the new one! this is the funniest calendar i have ever seen, even if you don't appreciate dogs & the strange things they do (and the strange things their owners do to them). the pictures are only half of the fun--the captions are hysterical too.

Editorial Review:

These dogs definitely wont come when theyre called. And roll over? Dont even ask. Adapted from the New York Times bestselling book Bad Dog, which now has over 437,000 copies in print, Bad Dog calendar is a truly funny year of badly dressed, badly groomed, and badly behaved canines. Size: 6" w x 5.5" h.

Great Book 4 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

Great ideas - good techniques. It's a shame there isn't some way to get folks to read this book "before" bringing that new puppy home. That way all your instruction to the pup will be correctly done and the poor pup won't have to "unlearn" some home-spun ideas you used before you read the book. Worth the read.

Very good for a newbie 5 out of 5 stars.
0 of 0 people found this review helpful.

I bought this book when we got our first puppy. I think it is a clear read and has good suggestions. The DVD was also an excellent way to educate everyone in the family about puppy training.

Editorial Review:

Raising a happy, well-adjusted puppy is much like raising a child--owners have to listen to what their puppy's behavior is trying to tell them. And it's far simpler than people think. With the intuitive and step-by-step methods included in this invaluable book from experts Brian Kilcommons and Sarah Wilson, including tips on how to deal with every kind of personality, puppies can be trained quickly and painlessly. With humor, time-tested advice, and an arsenal of tricks, MY SMART PUPPY teaches new dog owners everything they need to know to raise a healthy, happy, and well-adjusted dog.
