172 used and new from $13.80
Customer Rating: 3.8

First tagged by A Reader
Customer tags: memoir, animal stories, pets, humor, parrots, family

Review & Description

A hilarious and poignant cautionary tale about two very different types of creatures, thrown together by fate, who learn to make the best of a challenging situation -- feather by feather.

Like many new bird owners, Jenny and Scott Gardiner hoped for a smart, talkative, friendly companion. Instead, as they took on the unexpected task of raising a curmudgeonly wild African gray parrot and a newborn, they learned an important lesson: parrothood is way harder than parenthood.

A gift from Scott's brother who was living in Zaire, Graycie arrived scrawny, pissed-off, and missing a lot of her feathers -- definitely not the Polly-wants-a-cracker type the Gardiners anticipated. Every day became a constant game of chicken with a bird that would do anything to ruffle their feathers. The old adage about not biting the hand that feeds you -- literally -- never applied to Graycie.

But Jenny and Scott learned to adapt as the family grew to three children, a menagerie of dogs and cats, and, of course, Graycie. In this laugh-out-loud funny and touching memoir, Jenny vividly shares the many hazards of parrot ownership, from the endless avian latrine duty and the joyful day the bird learned to mimic the sound of the smoke detector, to the multiple ways a beak can pierce human flesh. Graycie is a court jester, a karaoke partner, an unusual audio record of their family history, and, at times, a nemesis. But most of all, she has taught the family volumes about tolerance, going with the flow, and realizing that you can no sooner make your child fit into a mold than you can turn a wild parrot into a docile house pet. Winging It is an utterly engrossing reminder of the importance of patience, loyalty, and humor when it comes to dealing with even the most unpleasant members of the family.A hilarious and poignant cautionary tale about two very different types of creatures, thrown together by fate, who learn to make the best of a challenging situation -- feather by feather.

Don’t Feed Your Dog Tonight Until Reading This Description

This book was written by a fellow dog parent that spent the last three years trying to improve the health of his Beagle (Copper) who started to have seizures. His hundreds of hours of research show without question that too many brands in the dog food industry care more about profits than health and safety of our dogs.

The AAFCO (Association of American Feed Control Officials) and the FDA has been controlled and manipulated by the pet food industry into allowing them to legally misrepresent the ingredients listed on their products and deceive the dog parents with current labeling laws.

The Author is quoted as saying “I strongly urge and even pray that all dog parents learn the basic skills needed to feed their dogs a healthy meal each day… nothing less than the longevity of their dog’s life is at stake”

While this book starts that education process, by giving the Dog Parent the basic skills needed to understand the difference between a good and bad dog food formula, the Author thought it was more important to quickly get into the hands of all Dog Parent a list (13) of some of the best dog foods reviewed by the Author.

Just as important the Author lists (6) formulas that you should stop feeding your dog now! Some on this list will be found on your Vets shelves, and this book goes into great detail of why they are hazardous to your dog’s health.

The Author swears he will not stop writing books on this subject until all dog parents can pick up any brand of dog food and be confident that they understand what the ingredients list and the labeling really means.

This means books written with more detailed information on ingredients and labeling laws than the book above, but this book (The Best Dog Foods to Buy) will have an immediate impact on your dog’s health starting today.

Do not feed your dog today until after buying and reading this book.

This book was written by a dog parent for dog parents and a portion of the profits from this book and all future books published by Sugar Run Nursery Publications will be donated to no-kill shelters, spay and neuter education and rescue groups so please help by buying this book now.

Review & Description

When Finn and her dog Skeeter set out on a hike to cure their restless feet, they literally take a step into nature. A big gooey step...right into scat (also known as poop). And just like the animal it comes from, scat comes in all shapes and sizes. Scat, along with foot or paw tracks, can tell a lot about the creature who produced it.

As Finn's hike takes her further into the woods, she happens along some scat and tracks from a variety of woodland creatures.

Pairing punchy rhyme with science writing, Lisa Morlock has created the perfect nature guide, providing detailed descriptions of the prints, diets, and behaviors of the animals that Finn and Skeeter encounter along their hike.

Watch your step!

Choptank Blues & Other Stories
Choptank Blues & Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
By Diane Nelson

Review & Description

It begins with a memory … the slap of waves, a melody of despair,
the future we might fear, the past we’ll ne’er forget.

The imagined world is rich and filled with promise.

But then there’s the real world with its unspoken truths, the life lessons learned
when speech fails and all that’s left is trust.

Some themes are mature, even challenging. Others shed light in dark spaces.

Review & Description

AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF LOVE: Riley Rosemont thought he knew how his life should be: he'd marry his beautiful talented childhood sweetheart, Savannah Graystone, they'd raise their family together, and share a lifetime of love. He would listen to her talented fingers play the piano until he was old and gray. It was their destiny. 
Even when Savannah left Montana to pursue her dreams and share her amazing musical talent with the world, Riley felt proud of her success and loved her still. He clung to hope that someday they would have second chances. 
Seven years later, on a quiet road in upstate New York, Savannah is involved in a devastating car accident. Her car tumbled over and over. But she wasn't alone. Two precious moments were all she had to save him. She couldn't. Now the one perfect thing that Riley and Savannah's love created is gone. Their son. Savannah thought Ryan was a secret, but Riley knew she chose to raise him all alone. He kept her secret and loved his son from afar. Ryan was a talented little boy who already played the violin like a master. He deserved the musical life of opportunities Savannah gave him in New York City. His happiness was worth the price of being apart form the woman he loved.  
But those two moments stole everything good.
Broken in body and spirit, Savannah exists in a haze of denial and pain. Without Ryan, she doesn't want to live. Can Riley save her?
Savannah Graystone is coming home.
Montana is all she has left. And a limp, that may fade... eventually.
But Riley's heart is broken too. 
Can their shattered love survive this emotional storm?
They need a miracle.AN EXTRAORDINARY JOURNEY OF LOVE: Riley Rosemont thought he knew how his life should be: he'd marry his beautiful talented childhood sweetheart, Savannah Graystone, they'd raise their family together, and share a lifetime of love.

The Tiniest Tiger (Paperback)

The Tiniest Tiger
The Tiniest Tiger (Paperback)
By Joanne McGonagle

Review & Description

Children and adults will revel in this charming and brilliantly told tale of a forlorn and scruffy little kitten with a black stained nose and a striped tail that tries to find a home among the “big” cats that reside at the local zoo. Young readers will especially delight in this truly literary and fully illustrated lesson that advocates the protection of endangered species. When a stray kitten loses her way and is displaced from the only alley she has ever known, she squeezes her tiny body under the fence at the zoo and begins a long and tireless hunt for a home. Her search leads her to a tiger and into a lion’s den by way of a cheetah, clouded leopard, puma, jaguar, bobcat, and an ocelot. She learns a lot about what she isn’t, but gets no closer to finding a home until she is spotted by the zookeeper’s daughter and learns that there is truly a special spot for every cat—even the tiniest tiger—under the sun.

Review & Description

" Girl meets dog in this effervescent "feel-good debut" (People)

Savannah "Van" Leone has been in love with Peter Clarke since their first day of college. Six years later, Peter is marrying Van's best friend, Janie. Loyal to a fault, Van dons her pumpkin-orange, maid-of- honor gown and stands up for the couple, struggling to hide her true feelings even when she couldn't be more conspicuous. After the wedding, nursing her broken heart with a Rin Tin Tin marathon plus a vodka chaser, Van accidentally orders a German Shepherd puppy over the Internet. When "Joe" turns out to be a hundred-pound beast who only responds to commands in Slovak, Van is at the end of her rope-until she realizes that sometimes life needs to get more complicated before it can get better.

Review & Description

There is a dog or cat or both in every short story, though their roles are not always crucial. Most of the stories are rather domestic, like the pets, but the situations seem to border on ludicrous.There is a dog or cat or both in every short story, though their roles are not always crucial.
