Kat Stevens is a slightly insecure, mostly bored technical writer who likes her cat a lot more than her boss. She hasn t laid eyes on her great aunt Abigail since she was eight, so she s stumped when she inherits Abigail s house in the small hamlet of Alpine Grove. Kat s uncomplicated life gets decidedly less so when she discovers the inheritance comes with some hairy conditions: four dogs and five cats that her aunt wanted her to love as her own. Of course, the house smells like a barn with a touch of antique skunk and, naturally, has serious roof issues. And that s before the three-legged cat gets stuck in the wall and the shower goes kablooey. When Kat meets Joel, an unemployed techie type with no love lost for his sister, Kat looks past his obvious flaws, given his timely and desirable skill set: a talent for fixing things (and his own tools). Despite out-of-control dogs, cat fights, dust dinosaurs, massive spiders and an old grizzled hippie passed out in the yard, Kat discovers the tranquility of the forests of Alpine Grove starting to seep into her soul. And why she can t she stop thinking about Joel?"

If you adopted your cat or kitten from an animal shelter, your new kitty has a past. You don't know where she has been or the experiences she had before. Cats may seem mysterious and unpredictable to you, but the truth is that to a cat, everything she does makes sense. Once you understand feline motivations, you can more easily solve problems that arise. Happy Tabby is based on reality. Cats aren't machines, and Happy Tabby embraces the unique aspects of living with a cat, along with personal anecdotes featuring the author's two weird and wonderful felines. Written in a low-key, easy to understand style, this book is filled with practical advice on raising a cat or kitten you can live with for years to come.

When you adopt a dog or puppy, you are thrust into a strange new world where you don't even speak the language. In Happy Hound, you'll learn solutions to everyday problems dog owners face. Unlike breed-specific or veterinary books, Happy Hound is tailored to the special needs and issues related to living with a rescued puppy or dog. Many shelters give you a packet of information, but especially at smaller shelters they just can't afford either the time or money to provide a lot of information. Happy Hound is designed to fill that need. Plus, if you've ever read a dog book where you wondered if the author ever even owned a dog, you'll find Happy Hound a refreshing change. The book is filled with sidebars and anecdotes about the antics of the author's gang of four dogs. You'll never be left feeling like your dog is "really different" from anything you've read. Even though every dog is special, no dog is perfect!
