One veterinarian's reverie on caring for our animals (and ourselves). "This book is as much a series of 'Notes to Self' as it is a guide for anyone else. I forget or ignore these little gems and need to remind myself of them almost daily. In fact, that may be our biggest struggle as modern humans: to get over our clever, sophisticated selves and act simply as nature designed us, as an interwoven and inseparable part of all life. That might just be my most important Note to Self."

Our ability to notice things and make observations using precise language is one of the foundations needed for the development of critical reasoning skills and abstract thinking.This book helps build the observation skills needed to critically observe and describe what we see.

Loads of books and articles have been written about feeding dogs, and yet myths and misconceptions about how to feed dogs abound.¿Perhaps the most pernicious is that it's beyond the ability of the average person to do it well.¿I hear this concern often from dog owners who'd like to be making their dog's food but are too afraid to even try, for fear of getting it wrong.Let me relieve you of that notion right now.¿Feeding dogs well is not rocket science.¿If it were, then dogs would have died out long ago.¿You don't need a degree in nutrition to feed yourself and your family well.¿The same is true about feeding your dog.¿You simply need to understand the basics, a few essential principles, and go from there.¿Given how much information is available already, I thought what might be most useful is for me to tell you how I fed my own dog, Miss Lilly.

Anna and Finn McAllister are a sole parent family living in Castlemaine. After moving constantly for years, they finally find somewhere permanent. It makes a huge difference to their life; stress goes down, they get a pet, they finally get the chance to establish a home.It’s lucky they’ve found somewhere to stay long-term because, shortly after moving into 58 Green Street, Anna has a car accident which gives her epilepsy. Their whole life changes as they struggle to adjust to the new situation. After years of doctors, hospitals and brain surgery, Anna finally regains control of her health: just in time to deal with her son’s adolescent phase. Filled with love, humour and honesty, 58 Green Street describes the trials, tribulations and joys of sole-parenthood. A fictional story based on real-life experiences, Christine King lifts the veil of stigma attached to sole-parenthood and emphasises the importance of permanence and security.
