Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Something’s got a spaniel familiar’s tongue…and it isn’t a cat. Charity Hughes is the first witch in more than a century to possess a gift like hers. She’s a “familiar whisperer” — someone who can communicate with other witches’ troubled familiars and resolve their problems. When Darla Fitzgerald, an influential but abrasive witch, brings in her familiar, Milo, Charity runs into a barrier she’s never before encountered. The spaniel isn’t talking. At all. And when a potion to reveal Milo’s thoughts doesn’t work, Charity calls Darla to get more information...only to learn the woman has been found dead. But that’s not the weird part. Though familiars always pass with their witches, Milo is hale and hearty. After something — or someone — attacks the dog, Charity desperately calls local vet (and secret crush) Noah Jenkins for help. Now Charity is walking a double tightrope: How to manage her attraction to Noah without revealing the world of witches right under his nose...while trying to figure out who would go to any lengths — including dognapping — to ensure Milo stays silent as the grave. Note: Spells and Spaniels is Book 1 in USA Today bestselling author Christine Pope’s newest series, “Familiar Spirits”.

Two local children report seeing a shadowy figure fleeing the scene, but there are no clues as to the murderer’s identity. If Mary can figure out what the purebred pup was doing there, she’ll be one step closer to finding the killer. But as someone who knows nothing about puppies, purebred or otherwise, Mary needs to scratch beneath the surface before more than the Christmas pageant goes to the dogs . . . “Dog-loving cozy fans will welcome Delaney’s series launch, an extension of her Ellie McKenzie series . . .

Download or read book Evil Breeding written by Susan Conant and published by Bantam. This book was released on 2009-10-07 with total page 225 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dog's Life columnist Holly Winter has just landed a plum contract to write a book on Geraldine Rockefeller Dodge's legendary pre-World War II dog shows. Holly arranges to interview one of the last living participants in those fabulously opulent and exclusive shows: canine fancier B. Robert Motherway. But there's something decidedly unsettling about the gracious old gent's imposing home with its acres of kennels. His dying wife wails piteously in an upstairs room, his servants are his sullen son and his downtrodden daughter-in-law, and his favorite German shepherd dog has an ill-bred snarl. Meanwhile, Holly's mail is laced with anonymous packages-old photographs, letters in German, and a brochure on pills for listless pooches. Nothing makes sense until a garroted body is found in a nearby cemetery. Suddenly Holly and her Alaskan malamutes, Rowdy and Kimi, are on a seventy-year-old trail of deception, decadence, and death. And either they unearth the skeletons or join them. From the Paperback edition.
Download or read book Understanding Lady A Cocker Spaniel with Chutzpah written by Helen a Bemis and published by . This book was released on 2021-11-05 with total page 94 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What is chutzpah? Dictionary.com gives as synonyms "nerve" and "audacity." The word is Yiddish, and its roots go back to Aramaic, the language spoken by Jesus Christ. The dog in the book's title, Lady, has chutzpah. She is a canine force of nature. When her first owner, "the old man," dies, pregnant Lady, then temporarily at the Riverview Animal Shelter, becomes the pet of criminologist Alice, a woman with a full supply of audacity herself. Her husband, Art, is the RAS veterinarian. Before leaving RAS, Lady gives birth to two pups, and Alice and Art and daughter Katie adopt both Lady and one puppy, Princess. Soon Alice would have a crime puzzle: from RAS, someone steals Lady's brother. Who would dognap a pup? And why? Ben's adopted elder brother, Harold, lost his pinochle partner, Helene, to the warmer weather of the South, but soon found another partner, Bonnie. They usually played five-handed pinochle, a cut-throat winner-takes-all type of game. No gambling was involved, but they fought hard to win, sometimes breaking the rules. Breaking the rules was a bit of a habit for Bonnie. She came under suspicion in the disappearance from RAS, during an overnight storm, of the dog eventually named "Duke," Lady's male puppy. RAS dog trainers Skippy and Olivia prepared an Obedience Demonstration Match for Riverview, exciting the town and making Sandy jealous of the relationship developing between her two employees, revealing to her how much she had fallen for Skippy. But how did he feel about her? The Match held some surprises, including an unexpected reunion. A virus from abroad had reached New York City and, soon after, it invaded Riverview, jeopardizing lives and changing plans. "Man proposes. God disposes." Helen Bemis has written over a dozen novels about her fictional Riverview community, incorporating her knowledge of people, dogs, and business to shape stories that have cozy mysteries and valuable insights.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the ages, animals have played a significant role in human life. But the relationship between animals and humans is often taken for granted. For example, everyone knows that dogs can be trained to sit, stay, and roll over. But could a dog guide a blind man 2,144 miles down the Appalachian Trail--a difficult feat for a sighted person? Could a cat actually defend a sleeping infant from a deadly rattlesnake that is prepared to strike? Could a dolphin really save a person who is drowning at sea? Could a monkey communicate using English? Defying facts as we know them, these stories detail the intelligence, bravery, and skill of animals. They make us take a second look at creatures who have been viewed as being driven largely by instinct, and they begin to reveal the mysteries of animal intelligence.
