Download or read book Why Dogs Chase Cars written by George Singleton and published by Algonquin Books. This book was released on 2004-09-17 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: These fourteen funny stories tell the tale of a beleaguered boyhood down home where the dogs still run loose. As a boy growing up in the tiny backwater town of Forty-Five, South Carolina (where everybody is pretty much one beer short of a six-pack), all Mendal Dawes wants is out. It's not just his hometown that's hopeless. Mendal's father is just as bad. Embarrassing his son to death nearly every day, Mr. Dawes is a parenting guide's bad example. He buries stuff in the backyard—fake toxic barrels, imitation Burma Shave signs (BIRD ON A WIRE, BIRD ON A PERCH, FLY TOWARD HEAVEN, FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH), yardstick collections. He calls Mendal "Fuzznuts" and makes him recite Marx and Durkheim daily and befriend a classmate rumored to have head lice. Mendal Dawes is a boy itching to get out of town, to take the high road and leave the South and his dingbat dad far behind—just like those car-chasing dogs. But bottom line, this funky, sometimes outrageous, and always very human tale is really about how Mendal discovers that neither he nor the dogs actually want to catch a ride, that the hand that has fed them has a lot more to offer. On the way to watching that light dawn, we also get to watch the Dawes's precarious relationship with a place whose "gene pool [is] so shallow that it wouldn't take a Dr. Scholl's insert to keep one's soles dry." To be consistently funny is a great gift. To be funny and cynical and empathetic all at the same time is George Singleton's special gift, put brilliantly into play in this new collection.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dogs of a certain breed may share some behavioural characteristics. For example, most Labradors enjoy swimming and love to fetch a ball or a stick, because retrieving fallen game is what they were designed to do. There are exceptions to every rule, but knowing a breed's designed behavioural (as well as physical) characteristics will help you to decide on a dog that will likely be a good fit for you and your lifestyle. The more research you do before you go to choose your dog, the more likely you are to get the best dog for you and / or your family or environment. You are taking the right first step now by considering this book. Almost everyone has fond memories of being with animals when they were young, it is what makes people try to reproduce the situation either for themselves or their children, but what most people forget, is that their parents trained those animals, they did not just come like that. There is no such thing as a perfect pet, perfect dog, perfect human or perfect anything. There is as good as you're going to get, as best as you can make it and what best suits you.

Download or read book No Bull written by Kelly Palmer and published by Tate Publishing. This book was released on 2011-04 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Finally, someone is asking the questions that need to be asked... No Bull may be politically incorrect and may offend. It addresses many topics that most preachers will not discuss for fear of losing part of their congregations or losing their jobs. But if you want an honest, straight-talking assessment of the current state of Christianity and Christian churches, then this is the book for you. No Bull reveals false teachings in the Christian church. It exposes several instances of churches doing things that the Bible clearly says not to do. Several topics are addressed, from marriage and family life to evolution versus creationism to the age of accountability and the rapture. Church leaders, and all Christians, will benefit greatly from the frank opinions expressed in No Bull. New author Kelly Palmer takes a commonsense, Bible-based approach to issues facing Christianity today. The conversational tone and personal touch make for a fun, thought-provoking read.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An easy, fun way to correct nasty habitsThe Good Behavior Book for Dogs provides illustrated, down-to-earth, practical advice for dog owners with not-so-perfect pups. With an accessible, fun and easy approach, the author helps owners and their dogs learn how to affect proper manners and behavior management in a respectful and loving environment. Dogs will happily engage in the training activities advocated, creating a bridge to happiness, freedom, and friendship between dogs and their people. No other book addresses the truly weird and sometimes disgusting things your dog does -- inappropriate sniffing, tail chasing, excessive licking, shadow/light chasing, and other unmentionables. Many dog owners who deal with these issues feel ashamed of their dogs' behavior and find it demoralizing to even speak with their vet about them, allowing the behavior to continue and intensify until it is intolerable. This book will provide dog owners with the instruction and information that will allow them to solve behavior problems that in many cases have resulted in giving up the dog. Training your dog to break undesirable habits doesn't need to be stressful, or use harsh treatment. Training is an easy way to strengthen the bond between the dog caregiver and dog and, let's face it; sometimes "bad" dog behavior is funny. The reader will be taken on a sensitive and sometimes comical journey to understand their beloved pooch and get back that "Puppy Love."

Not the picture-perfect version we've all become accustomed to, thanks to social media. This is my life as I've lived it - no filters.Each chapter in this book unlocks the truth behind a song from my album Confessional. They span ten years of intense self-discovery married with a lot of self-sabotage. My broken brain has taken me to dark places both in my own head and in the real world. But, with destruction comes creation. I genuinely hope that My Confessional does not personally resonate with you and that you've not been to the same Hell that I've come to call Home, but if you have let my life be proof that it all works out in the end. I see now that the world is truly what we make of it and that everything happens for a reason. Or, at least, that's what I tell myself. Here lyeth my confessional of the sins I want so much to be free from and to finally forgive myself for what I've done. I confess.Janet Devlin"

Book excerpt: WARNING! Do not read this book if you are not open minded! This book may be politically incorrect and may offend. It contains many subjects that most preachers are afraid to address for fear of losing part of their congregation. This book was written to reveal false teachings in the churches. It contains controversial topics on subjects like: Why do churches do things the Bible clearly says not to do? Is there a difference between "the beginning" and "the first day" in reference to Creation? Can evolution be proven wrong? What is going to happen in the future, according to the Bible? What does the Bible say about the age of accountability? This book also talks about the true meaning of life and what it's all about. I know preaching to preachers and church leaders' sounds crazy, but what if God sent me? Are they going to crucify me, too? Are YOU searching for the truth? I believe many will agree with my answers, until I step on their toes. ALL IT TAKES FOR EVIL TO SUCCEED -- IS FOR GOOD MEN TO DO NOTHING!
