Synopsis Pets and Puppies by : Monica Easton

Pets and Puppies is Monica Easton’s personal account of a life devoted to animals, tracking the joys and sorrows of pet ownership. Packed with anecdotes, verse and stories, this book also chronicles Monica’s work with guide dog puppies during the first year of their life and training. Monica’s household has been home to a mixed bag of creatures providing plenty of stories: some happy, some sad, some very unusual, but all made life very interesting and entertaining. With tales of a fleet-footed hamster who could climb 14 stairs in 9 seconds, a football playing dog who was a wizard on the dribble and a polecat that gave birth to a litter of eights kits the day after she was rescued, Pets and Puppies gives an insight into the life of an animal lover. After the death of her first pet dog, Monica applied to walk guide dog puppies and was accepted as a volunteer. She spent thirty years walking twenty-seven puppies in preparation for their further training at a year old. In her book, she recounts the different characters she met along the way: puppies who refused to walk, one who was agoraphobic, one who play fought with their bantam cock, another who stole food, shredded clothes and toys, and one who needed hydrotherapy treatment after surgery. The book also tells of dogs that did not qualify to become guide dogs and returned to Monica’s family to enrich their lives, and some who returned to them after retirement and still offered a challenge.

Made famous on The Martha Stewart Show on television and Sirius radio, Marc Morrone is front and center to answer his viewers' (and his readers') many questions about their favorite pets. In Ask the Dog Keeper, Marc's quirky, entertaining personality shines on every page as he spews out his wisdom, know-how, and hilarious anecdotes to answer dozens of questions. In the chapter on food, Marc responds to common questions about the kinds of diet that are best, treats, overeating, fussy eaters, human foods, fasting, and others. In a chapter unceremoniously titled "Poop," Marc discusses house-training problems and difficulties commonly encountered by dog owners. In "School," Marc leads the class by teaching his readers about the easiest ways to teach the hardest commands and how to remedy challenging behavioral issues. Other topics covered in the book are health, hygiene, safety, traveling, and much more. While Marc is often laugh-out-loud funny in all of the chapters, it is his genuine admiration and respect for his canines that make this book a unique resource for all dog lovers. Fill with real first-hand information and reliable tips, readers will be laughing and learning in equal measure! The book is beautifully designed and illustrated with color photographs as well as original artwork by Jason O'Malley.
