This story chronicles the first year of a veteran with his guide
dog. Guide Dogs for the visually impaired are truly remarkable
animals and the bond that develops between these two can be
extraordinary. Total trust and unconditional love are the corner
stones of their relationship. This book follows that development in
a light hearted, tongue-in-cheek manner from the dog's perspective.
Alyce La Gasse from OR wrote; Move over Lassie, Ace the Guide Dog
Detective is on the job now. With a unique combination of humor,
pathos, and ingenious dog-dialog, Adams cleverly conveys his very
special relationship with Ace. Through a series of shared
adventures with Ken, 'the blond', and the hero of the story, Ace,
the reader is introduced to the world of those who have limited or
no vision and their challenges. There is no self-pity in Ken's
story . . . in a very sweet and delightful tongue-in-cheek
presentation; he shares his love for his dog, their dedication to
each other, and his joy in having Ace as a guide, a partner, and a
friend. Phillip Blaney from CA. wrote; I really liked this book. A
good story line and I loved the way he drew the reader into the
story. A good read for all ages, a dog lovers delight. Rich Holland
from PA. wrote; I just finished reading your book. Without wanting
to sound patronizing, IT WAS GREAT What a dog I really and truly
enjoyed reading it and will recommend it to all. Jim Aker from VA.
wrote; I loved the book. Good for all dog lovers and others as
well. I would recommend it for young and old alike. I look forward
to his next book.

Grace before or after a meal on formal occasions. Each one has been

South of Cancun, Mexico and down a long narrow road ending in
turquoise blue water, you will find Soliman Bay. Here is where most
people's dreams are found, a small bay, white sand and palm trees,
and a reef just offshore full of colorful fish. If you are
visiting, the dream looks real, but if you intend on staying the
locals have one bit of advice - guard your sanity.
Though it may not seem possible, this comedy you are about to

Living on a farm in a remote area of Costa Rica, a little dog
writes letters to Granny Gringo in hopes of getting some advice on
how to cope with her problems. There are so many animals to deal
with and Coco thinks she is the "boss" of Mom and Poppy's Farm. The
bulls kick at her, the cat tries to move in the house, new puppies
show up, and the chickens seem to be taking over the farm. Full of
humor and love, "It's A Dog's Life, by Coco" will keep you
laughing.
Having spent 25 years as climbing bum, paid for by bouts of time
spent as a university technician, Vic found himself fighting a
different world: his very own pulmonary embolism in both lungs. The
doctors are baffled and can't understand why your man is in their
intensive care ward. On the long road to recovery, Vic recounts
some of the many odd and hilarious climbing stories which marked
his way to the doctors and nurses of University College London
Hospital. As the silent and unseen internal blood clots dissolve,
the realisation of challenges of harsh vertical winter routes in
Scotland, the Alps and British Sea cliffs plus London's transport
pollution have to be left behind. On a chance recommendation: 'the
air in Ireland is clean and it hardly ever rains, well hardly
ever'. The author exchanges his world for one of science based
academic career in Dublin and a new life in Ireland. On a very wet
day in Dublin the true love Trish comes passing by and they married
on a warm summer's day. They now spend their new lives on the
island of Crete, where they explore the eastern Mediterranean and
travel through the Euro-zone back to the British Isle's and Ireland
to visit family and beloved friends: happy ever after. Not so.
Today's (2010-2013) austerity: brought about by the European
bankers and politicians, desk clerks, managers, security measures
and incompetent airport authorities, all have made travel difficult
and arduous. Long gone are the days when you could drive across
Europe and Asia to the Far East and onto Australia. This is a book
of climbing horror stories and misplaced faith in the travel
industries. Friends cannot believe the troubles they have
encountered but dreams do some times turn in to nightmares
