Download or read book RUFF AND TUMBLE written by Joan C. Winters and published by Xlibris Corporation. This book was released on 2007-10-26 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From hypothesizing about the origins of the Human Animal Bond and how the first animals became domesticated, to defining the bond and ultimately enumerating the many ways in which animals benefit society, the opening of this work commands one’s complete attention. Just as all pet owners become intrigued by the rapid physical growth of a puppy or kitten, the author reminds them to not only be witness to the physical nature of this process but to become attune to the more subtle changes that occur. These changes are primarily rooted in the animal’s sensitivities. Having set the stage for these awe inspiring feelings, she embarks on a most emotional yet at times humorous memoir of her departed Golden Retriever, Ruff and his sibling and littermate, Tumble. The exploits of these animals, together with their adopted feline sister will have the reader experiencing the heights of laughter together with the depths of grief. It is a remarkable roller coaster of emotion that rings so true in its parallels to everyday life. The poetic prowess of her husband, AD, is obvious in the two pieces he authors within the book. The final chapter of the book deals with the seriousness of loss for individuals. Whether the loss is a pet or person, the coping methodologies are similar. The discussion of souls, the levels of love and the enduring bonds provides a venue to release grief, to be open to afterlife communications and to realize that some things last forever. This profound conclusion applies to both humans and animals alike, with minimal changes. Readers will find this book therapeutic in terms of dealing with the raw pain and emotion following a loss in their family. For this is the very reason that the author wrote this work, that is to bring healing to those in need.

Book excerpt: It's the most anticipated sporting even of the year: PUPPY FOOTBALL! But this year things get a little complicated when: The hottest professional quarterback in Seattle goes toe-to-toe with A determined production assistant of the yearly Puppy Cup and Her adorably bumbling pack of puppies In a showdown that'll leave everyone happy ever after. As a production assistant for the Puppy Cup, Hailey Lincoln knows all things puppies and football. She also knows all things Cole Bennett, star quarterback for the Seattle Lumberjacks and sexiest man alive. But years spent cheering for Cole from the sidelines never prepared her to meet his famous winning grin—or his unexpected plea for help. Cole's entire life revolves around football, but that's not the future he wants. He's in a bind: if he leaves the spotlight, he risks disappointing his team, his fans, and his incredibly tight-knit family. He needs a bit of good PR to help him out, and Hailey (and her puppies) are perfect for the job. But winning at puppy football is only the start. If Hailey really wants to win—the game, the man, and the family she never thought could be hers—she needs to pull out all the stops. And Cole, who's spent his entire life playing a game, has to realize that losing football isn't nearly as catastrophic as losing the woman he loves.

Download or read book We Give Our Hearts to Dogs to Tear written by Alston Chase and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-09-29 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: More than a hauntingly beautiful memoir about small dogs in Big Sky country, this book is a wise account of the relationships among dogs, humans, and the land that surrounds them. It is the story of successive generations of Jack Russell terriers, their animal friends, and their human companions. Alston Chase searches for the immortality of dogs, what makes them unique companions, and why we humans willingly give them our hearts knowing that someday they will be broken. This book will resonate with anyone who has ever loved a dog. Chase muses that dogs are the embodiment of spirit over mortality and through the window of their brief lives we glimpse eternity. This eternal includes the Earth, the land, and the bonds forged between people and dogs over thousands of years. Chase sees threats in the decline of rural life, unbridled urbanization, and in dog breeders who judge by conformation to breed standards and fashion rather than ability and health. An uplifting tribute to the dogs we love, and a reflection on the limitations of life, this book shows a triumph of the spirit. Rich in poetic citations, it is an environmental cry for help, a naturalistic appreciation of a dissolving world, and a deeply spiritual reminder that nothing loved is ever lost.

This book was released on 2013-05-22 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First book in the Ruff and Tumble seriesIllustrated and written to engage younger readers This book has illustrations and some fancy/exaggerated fonts to engage younger readers.

You can view a sample using the Look Inside feature by clicking on the cover illustration above. The story Ruff and Tumble are dogs with jobs: as Pack Protectors they must keep invaders out of the Pack Lands. This is mainly done by barking a lot. But if something really horrible, like a Trolley of Trolls, comes banging on the door they attack with swords and battleaxes. This is just what does happen, except it turns out to be a deliveryman. But that is enough to get Ruff's imagination working wildly. He is soon mixing up all the things that happen to him in the day with the storyline of the book he is reading (The Goblin Horde). He starts dreaming that he is Righteous Rufus, mighty Warrior and hero, who must stop the invasion of the Goblin Horde. Unfortunately he then starts mixing his dreams back into real life. His toys have gone missing and if he doesn't get them back the Goblin Horde will invade the Pack Lands and murder everyone in their beds! Tumble doesn't want to believe in any of it. After all, there are no such things as goblins. But she slowly gets caught up in Ruff enthusiasm to the point where she is chasing goblins through the woods. The Characters Ruff (Rufus) is a Scottish Terrier. He is black and shaggy and gets overly excited. He is also a little nervy.
