When Jason moved in with Bev, it was supposed to be temporary. But once Daisy the Chihuahua enters the picture, Jason and Bev's lives-and their waistlines-are changed forever. Just two-and-a-half pounds when they adopt her, Daisy is a charmer. And soon, an eater. After Elvis, the pug Bev and Jason adopt to keep Daisy company, meets Daisy in the biblical sense, Daisy starts eating for five. Instead of losing her baby weight, after giving birth to four puppies, Daisy gets even chubbier, and soon outgrows even her fattest fat sweaters. As heads of this new family, Bev and Jason decide it's time for everyone, including them, to embrace a healthier lifestyle. Please Don't Feed the Daisy is the wickedly funny, remarkably useful story of their journey toward becoming a family, and a fit, healthy one at that. Packed with fun, yummy, diet- and earth-friendly recipes for both dogs and people, as well as training tips and even the Happily Ever After Maintenance Plan, it's the perfect book for dog- (and food-) lovers.

Wishing You the Best of Everything Always is a collection of poems by Beverly West Schmidt - inspired by the natural beauty and poetry of all living things. It also includes a few poems inspired by the author's love of family.
