"Grandma, what is going to happen to the characters in Understanding Sassie?" Jacob asked. My grandson had enjoyed reading my book but wanted to know more about its characters. He continued his questioning and asked, "Are you going to write more about Sassie and all the other people in the book?" So, I have.
Understanding Sassie, II, starts with some turmoil in the Riverview region. Two teenagers hope to have canine pets, but each faces a different reaction from parents.
A dog thief is in town, looking for victims for his vicious Pit Bull Terrier, Champ, in his illegal dog-fighting exhibitions. Dog-behavior-specialist Millie and her husband, Animal Control Officer Mike, suspect local dogs are being dognapped and abused.
Riverview Animal Shelter makes their dogs available for adoption, but they are rather lax about checking out the people who are adopting them. This needs to change, and quickly, or they are going to be supplying dogs for the dog-fighting operation.
The Shelter runs classes to train the dog owners to train their dogs. Millie explains to the attendees what is being done and why. Even Puppy Play Day has its educational component. Sassie has been trained to be a Diabetic Service Dog; she can tell when her owner is on the edge of a diabetic crisis, and this turns out to save a life.
Families are strange sometimes. People can suddenly discover they are related. A step-brother and step-sister find each other at a particularly providential time.
A hurricane down South leads to complications in providing for the displaced animals at the Shelter.
Two of the adults involved with the Shelter find they have more in common than they first realized. Two others have to deal with a medical emergency.
Sassie brings two shy grown-ups together, to the delight of the young girl who loves her.
In my many years of teaching dog obedience, I have discovered that not all humans understand what the dog is trying to tell them. Although I've enjoyed my opportunities to teach classes on dog communication (the body language of dogs), my goal has always been to reach a wider audience.
I've always enjoyed telling stories. I have discovered that stories can help us to remember and learn valuable information. I hope the reader will find these stories entertaining and informative.
The characters involved in the activities at the Riverview Animal Shelter return in this third book of the series. Rehabilitating a battle-scarred, fierce former fighting dog, Champ, a Pit Bull Terrier, presents a major challenge. A different challenge is faced by a woman who must decide whether or not the man with whom she has fallen in love has indeed been rehabilitated himself, after extended incarceration in his youth.
The lessons in Champ relate to training dogs, certainly, and rehabilitating Pit Bull fighting dogs in particular, but they extend to the rehabilitation of people who have erred, who have paid, and who have been changed, a theme that Helen Bemis started in the first book, Understanding Sassie, concerning a woman who was fired for misbehavior from her job; Helen has extended this question to marrying an ex-con in Understanding Champ.
Besides offering entertainment, this book's intent is, in part, to guide its readers to no longer fear breeds like the Pit Bull Terrier that have exaggerated reputations for aggression. Certainly, one should choose a breed that reflects one's own energy level. (Helen has a Great Dane.) There are many dogs who will provide companionship and protection if treated with love, and their owners will be richly rewarded for taking them into their lives.
From the author: "In my many years of teaching dog obedience, I have discovered that not all humans understand what their dog is trying to tell them. I've enjoyed my opportunities to teach classes on dog communication (the body language of dogs). My goal has always been to reach a wider audience, which publishing my books will allow.
"I've always enjoyed telling stories. I have discovered that stories can help us to remember and learn valuable information. I hope the reader will find these stories entertaining and informative."
This is the third in this multi-book series, following Understanding Sassie and Understanding Sassie, II. Readers can enjoy it without having read the first two. All three novels combine upbeat personal stories with insights about training dogs with affection and love.
Описание: This sixth Emergency Nursing Bible updates and streamlines the original edition (it is 62 pages shorter) making it even easier to use by busy ER personnel in need of a fast and easy reference tool. Along with this, the original taxonomy and terminology have been updated. Author Patricia Ann Bemis, R.N., has carefully sifted the language of each page of the last edition to bring it up to date. For example, the patient is now the client and the current illness/past history are the client's story. Each of the 35 chapters is keyed to a different client complaint, including: - Interview questions to determine the client's story - Nursing domains and classes - Initial plan of care - Ongoing plan of care - Discharge plan of care Initial repetitive nursing are have been moved to Chapter 34, Triage in a Nutshell. Nurses deal with human responses to health problems and life processes. The 2015-2017 NANDA-I nursing diagnoses taxonomy is a way to classify and categorize these responses. The taxonomy is grouped into 13 domains, or spheres of knowledge, and contains 47 classes and 235 nursing diagnoses. Each client has a story that is different from all others. That story is what leads the nurse to the nursing domains, classes, diagnoses, and plans of care.
