Rescue Me , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 653min
Melissa Wareham always wanted to work with dogs. After failing her biology O-level she realised she'd have to start at the bottom, cleaning out kennels at Battersea Dogs Home. From frail old men looking for a four-legged companion to famous folk who've lost their favourite hound, it seemed that at some point everyone passes through Battersea's doors. Amongst the clamour of thousands of lost pets crying "Rescue Me!" and the noise of the railway lines above, Melissa found she had come home. The first dog Melissa fell for was Tulip, a sweet, elderly and somewhat dotty mongrel who decided a solo bus ride into the West End might be fun. Next up was Roscoe: Found by the ambulance team with his dead owner, he is rehabilitated with a little help from his master's hat. And then - many, many dogs later - there is Gus. With his owner in jail, Melissa finally finds the dog she is to take home as her own. Heart-warming and compulsively readable, Rescue Me is Melissa's memoir of her 15 years at Britain's most-loved dogs' home. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Melissa Wareham.

Fabulous Finn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 550min
The Top 10 Best Seller: The Inspirational Life of Finn, Britain's Bravest Dog, Winner of the 2017 Daily Mirror Animal Hero of the Year Award Hertfordshire, October 5th 2016. At around two a.m., PC Dave Wardell and his dog, PD Finn, were trying to apprehend a robbery suspect when he turned around and attacked them. Finn was stabbed with a 10-inch-bladed knife, both through his chest, via his armpit, and then - the knife bound for Dave - through the top of his head. Finn no doubt saved Dave's life, but the race was on to try to save Finn's. Dave Wardell's heartfelt memoir charts an incredible journey of friendship and loyalty. It is a celebration of the bond between one man and his dog, from when Dave collected Finn from his kennels at just nine months old, all the way through to Finn's recent and hard-earned retirement. The book charts the career of a highly trained, highly decorated dog. In his time on the job Finn tracked offenders of all kinds; found missing children; tackled armed offenders; saved lives. But Finn isn't just a police dog - he's also a cherished family pet, and this is his remarkable, life-affirming story. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Ben Addis.

I Once Was Lost, But Now I'm Found: Daisy and the Olympic Animal Sanctuary Rescue , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 204min
On the far side of the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State, halfway between the mountains and the ocean, stands the little town of Forks. In that town, in a quiet neighborhood of modest homes and shabby businesses, there remains a dilapidated pink warehouse. Packed inside that warehouse, living in deplorable conditions, were once over 120 dogs. Some of the dogs were kept in crates piled high on shelves, arranged in rows along the walls, and shoved into corners behind heaps of garbage and urine-saturated straw. Some of the dogs were confined to wire-sided or glassed-in kennels. One was kept in an old horse trailer. Dead ones were stored in a cooler. In one of the crates was a black dog named Daisy. This is her story. It is also the story of the rescue of 124 dogs - and one snake - from the Olympic Animal Sanctuary, the only large-scale dog rescue in the US to be carried out with no support from local government. The OAS rescue was an epic narrative that extended over several years and featured small town politics, protests, assault, lawsuits, arrests, and a midnight escape, all played out to a nationwide audience. ungekürzt.

Lust
Gedichte können LUST entfachen und auffächern, können Objekt der Begierde und Subjekt des Begehrens sein. Gedichte werfen uns anzügliche Zeilen zu und fragen nach Anstößigem, nach der Spalte zwischen Text und Sex, nach dem Körper. Sie sind selbst Körper. Der sich reibt, der einverleibt, es mit der Sprache treibt, und mit sich selbst. Braucht LUST im Gedicht ein Du? Ist Du Ich? Ich Du? Wer begehrt wen? Und wie? Hat Lust ein Geschlecht? Fragen, denen Odile Kennel sich in ihrem Essay spielerisch nähert, dabei Sprachen, das Sprechen und das Schreiben auf ihre Körperlichkeit hin erkundet und Universen auf kleinstem Raum nach ihrem Lusthorizont abtastet. Denn LUST ist nicht sagbar und doch Antrieb fürs Sprechen, fürs Schreiben, fürs sich Verlieren im Text, der Annäherung ist, Ansprache, Asymptote, die nie anlangt oder als Tangente beim Anfassen landet.In ihrer Auseinandersetzung mit LUST lässt Odile Kennel Label an der lustvollen Komplexität des Gegenstands abprallen: LUST ist nie nurEines, ist immer dazwischen - zwischen den Körpern, den Zeilen, den Sprachen. Die sich einander klangvoll begehren und hinterhersteigen. Die Laute klauben, kalauern, am Rand des Erlaubten kauern. Laut ist leise, Laut ist laut, geht unter die Haut, und wenn die Zunge Sprache ist, eröffnet die Mehrsprachigkeit eine Polyphonie erotischer Möglichkeiten. Odile Kennels Essay ist eine Landkarte der LUST, eine Topographie kultureller Konturen. Ein Essay für den Lustgewinnn im Leben, für ein lustvolles Widerstreben, für unbedingte Lust am Lesen.- Shop: buecher

Be Awesome: How to Live Your Best Life , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 279min
I've worked a lot of jobs. I've worked outside. In cubicles. In offices. At home. From my car. On a river. At a university. In schools. In kennels. In medicine. In food. In the woods. Behind a camera. With children. With senior citizens. In academia. And for world class jerks. I've been bored beyond belief. I've been exhausted from extremely long commutes. I've watched the excruciatingly slow minutes tick on the clock, knowing I had to put in my time and keep my derriere in my seat until the end of the scheduled day (even though there wasn't a lick of work in sight). I've cleaned urinals. I've picked through trash. I've scrubbed gates and floors on my hands and knees using a toothbrush. On the flip side, I've found what I love. It was with me all along. The difference was, I finally opened my eyes and took notice. I didn't change anything about who I was, or am. I just let myself (finally) be that person, and that's when everything began to take shape. I'm here to help you find what you love to do and to encourage you to begin (or continue) your journey to your best life. Whether you're 19 or 85, it's never too late to start living a life you love. You're awesome, so be awesome. Small tweaks and everyday attitudes and actions make a big difference. Discover how to live your best life by utilizing the gifts already inside of you. ungekürzt.

Boxer Dog Training: The Most Common Issues with Boxer Puppies , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 31min
Owning a dog is a big commitment and you should know what is involved in owning your boxer and getting the most out of your relationship with him. Boxers are loving and lovable and if you treat him right, you will both have hours of pleasure together. Boxers are intelligent and full of energy so you will need good training skills to show them who is boss. Otherwise, they will be more than willing to take the lead - literally! They also need lots of exercise so don’t get a boxer if you find it hard to get up off the sofa. Look on the bright side, you will be as fit as a flea in no time and have a super-toned body and svelte silhouette. This book teaches you - not your dog, as many dog owners think - how to train your boxer with rewards rather than punishment. Your boxer wants to please you but he is begging out for guidance from a leader. He has joined your pack, not the other way round. Using consistency and firm but kind guidelines, you will make a friend for life who will always be happy to see you and love you no matter what. However, you should also be aware that boxers quite often have a shorter lifespan than some other dogs and are prone to certain diseases. This book will tell you what to look out for and what you should be asking the breeder or kennels you get your boxer from. Some diseases are inherited from their parents and a good breeder will supply you with this information. Every dog is different, but boxers do have generic traits and behavior that you can be aware of by listening to this book. Hopefully, you have bought it before you get your boxer. In any event, it will be useful in the training and care of your dog. I hope you enjoy your time together. Download your copy now! ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Millian Quinteros.
