Two Yellow Lab Puppies And An Old Guy

Two Yellow Lab Puppies and an Old Guy by H. G. Hastings-Duffield Like the author’s other books, this, too, is a miscellany. However, unlike all the others, Two Yellow Lab Puppies and an Old Guy aims at humor, even in the discussions that definitely are intended as edification for the reader. Readers might smile, maybe even laugh, at the observations, questions, and conclusions of the most erudite puppies ever to exist. “How Do You Know If What You Do Is Right?” is a fascinating discussion between Shaker, the male pup, and the old guy. The text contains sixteen discussions of various subjects. Besides the subject matter is the entertaining back and forth between Shaker and Emmy, his sister. The author skillfully delineates them as quite different personalities. Shaker is no dummy, of course, but his interests and values are often at odds with his sister’s. Emmy is not a prude, but she is very formal and strongly opinionated about what is the proper way to behave and to speak, among other things. Despite the quarrelling, the author never allows the reader to think anything other than they dearly love each other.

Do the two utterances say the same thing? Think about it and all the other differences in bibles alleged to be the Bible. Should such issues generate any doubts in Christians about the verity of the God for whom they sacrifice their real life for a fairy tale one? Do they forego the myriad of errors in whatever Bible they use? If they do, can they be sure that the God they serve as mere sycophants actually exists and is deserving of their praise? Christians need to develop concrete evidence for their convictions. They do not know a single fact about their god. The only thing that mere faith and belief prove is a persons failure to use his/her intellect. Case in point: for any conscious human to believe that a virgin child can birth is evidence that that person is mentally challenged (a euphemism for stupid). Read on.

The book was inspired by Donald Trumps presidential campaign mantra: Well make America great again. The phrase great again contains implications: 1. If America was ever great, when was it great? 2. In what ways was it great? 3. And if it was great, what happened to its greatness? The author discusses these implications in conjunction with, among other documentations, the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, the Emancipation Proclamation, todays ineffectual and self-serving Congress, and contemporary events having nothing to do with greatness. Also, he questions who is included in the we of the mantra and how renewed greatness will be effected.

Learn to communicate with your dog—using their language “Good reading for dog lovers and an immensely useful manual for dog owners.”—The Washington Post An Applied Animal Behaviorist and dog trainer with more than twenty years’ experience, Dr. Patricia McConnell reveals a revolutionary new perspective on our relationship with dogs—sharing insights on how “man’s best friend” might interpret our behavior, as well as essential advice on how to interact with our four-legged friends in ways that bring out the best in them. After all, humans and dogs are two entirely different species, each shaped by its individual evolutionary heritage. Quite simply, humans are primates and dogs are canids (as are wolves, coyotes, and foxes). Since we each speak a different native tongue, a lot gets lost in the translation. This marvelous guide demonstrates how even the slightest changes in our voices and in the ways we stand can help dogs understand what we want. Inside you will discover: • How you can get your dog to come when called by acting less like a primate and more like a dog • Why the advice to “get dominance” over your dog can cause problems • Why “rough and tumble primate play” can lead to trouble—and how to play with your dog in ways that are fun and keep him out of mischief • How dogs and humans share personality types—and why most dogs want to live with benevolent leaders rather than “alpha wanna-bes!” Fascinating, insightful, and compelling, The Other End of the Leash is a book that strives to help you connect with your dog in a completely new way—so as to enrich that most rewarding of relationships.

It is a miscellany of commentaries on absurdities prevalent in American societysuch as sleazy television fare, fraudulent and inaccurate language, Christian values, and the justice system. The author means to edify readers with his criticism in an attempt to make American society more sophisticated.
