This book is a definitive look at the Boston bull. Readers learn about this spirited little hybrid dog which is the result of crossing English bulldogs with small white terriers. The breed was developed in the Boston area.

Good coverage is given to breeding; dental and overall health and the special care that pregnant Bostons require. Since Boston puppies have large heads, they are often delivered by Cesarean.

As much as I enjoyed the drawings of this beautiful breed, I wish there had been some photographs as well. Bostons are beautiful, intelligent and alert little dogs who make excellent pets and are ideal for families. Bostons are highly social and crave interaction.

This is a decent book, but it does leave readers wanting more. Still, it will appeal to those who own or just love the Boston bull.

It covers more than 40 different plants in its encylopedia section in addition to its glossary and several different info sections, including info on lighting, nutrients, selection and care. It gives more info about plants than can be obtained in the more general information books and is very inexpensive. It could be organized a little better but it is still very useful and very much worth the price.

Alaskan malamutes are large, independent-minded, strongly pack-oriented breed. They’re also beautiful, and they love exploring the outdoors with you. But if you don’t want a disobedient, domineering 125 pound dog to destroy your house and threaten children and smaller pets, you need to know what you’re getting into.

This book provides an essential first step. A malamute is a major time commitment, and you need to know alpha training principles so that the dog is happy with his role in your family pack. This book doesn’t address the issue, but you also need to think about the personalities of the people in your household – - neither the meek nor those prone to physical abuse should go anywhere near ths breed. For the right owners, however, the Malamute can be a wonderful and loyal companion.

This book also has a lot of pictures of beautiful adult Malamutes and adorable puppies.

If I’d had this book when I built my first 2 cat trees they would’ve been MUCH improved!! For me, the beauty of this book isn’t so much the projects themselves but the techniques, such as cutting a block to fit inside a length of PVC pipe so that legs can be securely mounted to the base, or building a miter box to cut said pipes squarely. I have to say, though, I can’t wait to try the window sill cat bed!!

If you have elderly or disabled critters you should note that one of the projects is a carpeted vehicle ramp, and instructions allow you to customize it to the height of your vehicle.
