Love has no age limit now available on audio. wheeleee! My co-authors, Karen London and I are deeply grateful for how it was welcomed by shelters, rescues and recruits. The booklet sold almost 150,000 copies about bringing home adolescent or mature dogs rather than puppies, and was called “a unique education jewel.” Florida Keys SPCA. Victoria StillwellVictoria Stillwell Academy’s “If you are considering adopting a dog from the shelter, There is no age limit for love Become your perfect companion. ”
Karen London, Treat everyone like a dog Fame, and I wrote this book together. Because as we say in the introduction:
“.. There’s something very special about bringing older dogs to your home. The puppies have little experience behind them. They act like little hairy sponges. They’re ready to absorb knowledge. They know you.
After meeting a client for years, Karen and I have noticed that there is very little written about bringing a dog with history to your home. It’s partly like bringing a puppy home (after all, the house is a new home!), but not in many other ways. Your new dog may scare men, have never seen cats or have never learned to pee where they sleep. How do you need to prepare for their arrival? What if I don’t have time to prepare? ! What do you expect from the third day, the third week, and the third month? Why don’t you panic when your (previous) perfect dog develops behavioral problems on the 22nd day? How about your other dogs? cat? horse? Roommate?
You can write the entire book On these issues, we wanted a booklet that was so concise that it really helped, but not too detailed. therefore, There is no age limit for love Born. All sections of the print version begin with photographs of rescued dogs.
(For reference, you can see all the photos and text in the PDF that accompany the audio. Slick!)
What I like about this book Everyone works together (graphic artists, authors, printers) to keep the costs of printed booklets as low as possible, allowing shelters and rescue groups to provide them free of charge to employers. It’s under $10 for a single copy, but there’s a big discount on bulk orders. For example, 20-49 copies cost $4.95, and 200 or more for $2.95 each. Many people placed large orders and donated to their local shelters and rescues.
of course, You can’t “bulk order” audiobooks, but you can showcase everyone you know. $6.95 or Free if you’re participating in Audible. Ideally, knowing how our brains work, I get my booklet and then listen to audiobooks on my way to get my dog. I know – it sounds so selfish and argh, but honestly, retained information is a challenge for all of us, the more ways you interact with the information, the more you remember. (I remember best when I write things down – cursive. It’s not just me, See this research! )
There is no age limit for love It includes flocks due to house preparation, day one, referrals to other animals, and behavioral issues such as separation anxiety and fear of strangers. I haven’t made this up when I said I read it myself before skipping. Honesty. Having a new dog is scary for us who take it as seriously as we need it, and every trainer and activist I know that we have a butterfly in our stomach when we want the new dog we want to be a dog forever.
I am very grateful to Dogwise To make this happen (Ericarock!), and to narrator DeBrassier, he does an amazing job putting words into the air from the page. Praise to her for being warm and clear. (I’ve read myself and what you think you can hear sounds just as mushy as soon as you hear it as an audiobook!) And thank you to everyone who supported this piece. I think there are thousands of dogs who are grateful.
Meanwhile, return to the farm: I spent my Friday morning in heaven Littledale Farmthe gorgeous asset of Graham and Margaret Phillipson. They politely invited me and some friends to work our dogs in high quality Scottish blackface and North Country Cheviot. Beautifully kept sheep and meadows, great friends and very happy dogs, what a day! I think Skip was particularly happy. Because he grew up in the UK and worked this type of sheep (on airplanes), whereas in the ordeals around this he was a “heavy” sheep, and his reaction to the dog is “anything” than “get out of here.”
I love these three photos I shoot one after another under skip and under the herd of the year. Focus on the sheep in each photo. The skip didn’t move as I could say, but the sheep looked at him. These types of sheep can be difficult to work as your dog is quiet and needs to stop, lie down, and often leave. Otherwise, the sheep will engage in a hoof race completed in a 100-yard dash at the Olympics. They don’t want a sheep that is panicked.
Many other dogs and friends also worked there. The song in the photo below is a new dog belonging to Roui, a best friend who works at Takakusa. Have you found her? The sheep certainly knew where she was.
Here at the farm The bounty of strawberries eases my pain with our lettuce, peas, chard, someone eating spinach (I’m talking to you, the daily bitch). Below is a day’s pick from our small raised bed.
Our native honeysuckle grapes Keep the hummingbird happy and it makes me happy. . .
Last weekend, my dear friends and neighbors They gathered to plant “Prairie Patches” in an area once full of sunflowers. The flowers were lovely and maintained, and the insects loved them. Also was Woodchuck, which dened the hills and destroyed all the plants. Discussions about this are mainly underway between Skip and Woodchuck this year.
Therefore, the weekend was full of good people. My heart is full.
