Pets Aplenty is a humorous book written by Malcolm Welshman, a retired vet who has worked at London Zoo, in a small animal hospital, and as a consultant dealing with exotics. This is actually the third book in his vet series. So, let’s chat about the book! Disclosure: SilverWood Books provided an e-book for my review.

That said, the book contains little that is likely to impress the seasoned birder. This is a shame, because were the text less verbose, I could see the book appealing to a younger audience with more patience for the basic, the obvious, and the odd passage of imaginary dialogue between birds.

The book, Animal Shelter Portraits , captures just a small glimpse of what our furry friends experience in shelter situations. The photos in the book made me want to reach out and save each one of them. From dogs to cats, kittens, and even birds and rabbits, there are all kinds of animals to be found at shelters.

The first twenty-nine pages of the book, after the acknowledgements, table of contents, and other prefatory materials, are devoted to the Pantanal and Cerrado and the need to conserve these two endangered biomes. The one major drawback to this book is actually an intended feature and not a glitch.

Everyone knows that young puppies keep you up all night, have to be let out to go to the bathroom every couple of hours, have accidents all over the house, chew on everything they can get their paws on (including cats), and don’t like being left alone at ALL.

Seeing a wild Snow Leopard is every wildlife enthusiast’s dream, probably the ultimate and most elusive wildlife experience on the planet. Peter Matthiessen’s famous book Snow Leopard describes such an attempt that proved ultimately unsuccessful in his primary goal of glimpsing a Snow Leopard. View of our camp in the Rhumbak Valley.

However, it is not equal in the amount and quality of books that are available on the topic. For Europe, only very few books exist that cover the topic at all. There are several books on feathers that also include some footprints of birds, maybe owl pellets. Well, first things first: the book’s title.

Jeff Masson's new book didn't cause me to unravel, but I did learn a lot about our friends and coevolvers, Canis familiaris. This Masson book ( here are all of them) is for Benjy, who was supposed to be a service dog but who was, shall we say, less than enthusiastic about the career choice that was made for him. And he details why.

If you have a cat, you can place the bed near the window since cats like to jump around. Cats love space to play, but space can often come at a high premium. Another way to make sure your cats get enough exercise is to keep their sleeping quarters at the top of these climbing trees. Outside the Bedroom. guest post'

I once had a cat who loved to lick plastic bags, and while I find the pleasure in this hard to comprehend, it still seems more understandable to me than the joy (?) Side note: Indeed, if you follow the titles of newly published books, you will see that there is a constant flow of “Reverse harem” publications.

And I want Baby Sky to grow up in a home where there is just as much respect for chickens and calves and fishes as there is for greyhounds and cats and people. Justice for beings who look very different from us but who, like us, experience pleasure and pain, boredom and frustration. But we can bring our story to that world.

They really appeared to enjoy this, because as soon as they swam back to the rocks they would line up again to repeat the experience. I can imagine myself inside the Brazilian Atlantic Rain Forest (with the book in my bag), checking every movement, searching for this almost legendary creature and of course jumping in joy when finding it!

The good news is that if you know someone who needs to be schooled on all of the sordid details of factory farming, and appreciates good writing, this is a great book. Also, if, like me, you know someone who appreciates the things we do with language to mask the reality of our behavior, this is a great book. Not great, but good.

Here are some observations: When reading a book about gorillas to/with a seven-year old, I was struck by the mixed messages the book sent. Here 's the book, and in the preview you can see that in the beginning when the gorilla being described is male he is referred to as "he." We do that with cats and dogs already, right?

The causes were the usual reasons for island extinction—deforestation by both humans and invasive plants that crowded out native plants, hunting, and invasive rats, mongoose, monkeys, and, of course, feral cats. Is this the type of avian experience we want? We know what those large flocks were like.

In Kangding, there is a rather opulent bird hide – two stories, solid construction, spacious, lots of glass, a separate paved parking lot, though mysteriously (and as far as I can tell from my experience of living in China for almost 20 years, not indicative of fundamentally different physical needs of Chinese people) missing a bathroom.
