Summary

“He’s Only Playing!” 
 
Why? Because as a dog behavior specialist, this is one of Sarah’s LEAST favorite expressions! 
 
“He’s Only Playing” is what people say when they have no clue what’s really going on with their dog when it meets another dog. 
 
It covers the good, the bad and the downright inappropriate: a multitude of doggie sins and rudeness. Everything from one dog placing his paws on another dog without invitation, to another sniffing underneath just too intently. 
 
And this can lead to problems… cross words between dogs, and owners, or embarrassing situations where one dog gets… how shall we say… over-excited – and then the humans are left trying to regain control. 
 
The problem is that humans are not generally very good at reading dog body language: 
 
· Most people think that tail wagging mean friendliness – but it often doesn’t 
 
· Many people see their dog in a bow position and just assume that it means their dog wants to play – it may not 
 
· And the vast majority of owners watch two dogs interacting and just hope that it’s going to work out OK with no real way of predicting what might happen between them… 
 
Sarah Whitehead is one of the UK’s top specialists in canine body language. She has studied canine communication systems for over 25 years and this beautifully produced, picture-led booklet is designed to help everyone who owns or works with dogs become even more fluent in the subtleties of dog language.

    A pediatrician shares accounts of the humorous and heartwarming things his young patients have said to him over the course of his career. 
     
    “Hey, doctor, I want to tell you something!” 
     
    For fifty-four years, kids have shared with pediatrician Arnold Tanis stories, questions, and bold pronouncements about their childhood worlds. In between treating them, the good doctor wrote down what many of them said. Three generations of patients offer memorable and downright funny observations and opinions about all sorts of things: shots, school, their brothers and sisters, growing up, and even Dr. Tanis himself and whether he can sing as well as he thinks he does. The parents also chime in, both to complain about all their kids put them through and to celebrate how well they eventually turn out. 
     
    A tireless, lifelong advocate of child safety, Dr. Tanis’s impact on his patients and their families spans decades. This book is a testament to his career and a memorable glimpse of the warm and sometimes crazy world of a singing pediatrician.

    Fanny Brice described Snooks as "my kind of youngster, the type I like. She has imagination. She's eager. She's alive. With all her deviltry, she still is a good kid, never vicious nor mean." Perhaps, but Daddy and Robespierre may beg to differ. Neither Daddy's time, pet projects, nor peace of mind are safe from Snooks' reliably relentless intrusions. As for how she treats her younger siblings and what she thinks of them…well, the fact that she tries to trade them for cats pretty much says it all! And, corporal punishment doesn't seem to have much effect on this cheeky child. These 28 elfish vignettes are digitally restored and remastered, starring Fanny Brice and Hanley Stafford as Baby Snooks and Daddy.
