This story is about my cats and seeing a world through their eyes. I thank "my boys" for unknowingly, through their actions, inspiring me to write this book about them. The story introduces all the members of The Boys Club, and their mission to bring in two orphaned strays, as new members of the club. Sammy and Tiny Tim are in search of a family to belong to and ask members of an exclusive club how to join. The strays live in the garage, while the club members live in the clubhouse with two humans, called Mommy and Daddy. Winter is coming, and the only thing holding them back is...they do not trust humans. Can the club members convince the strays that not all humans are bad? Will Sammy and Tim overcome their fears and choose a life with humans or will they remain orphans without a family to call their own?

El Buteo jamaicensis o 'Redtailed Hawk', nombre con el que se le conoce más comúnmente, es un buteo de gran importancia en la cultura de Norteamérica, tanto en el pasado como en la actualidad. Esta rapaz, más similar a una pequeña águila que a un buteo y considerada como símbolo de la suerte para muchas tribus nativas es y sigue siendo todo un símbolo en la actualidad, siendo una de las rapaces más abundantes en este continente y más conocidas, ya que para muchos americanos, este buteo es su primer contacto con las aves de presa y la naturaleza. En Estados Unidos, goza de una enorme popularidad como maestro de aquellos que desean adentrarse en el mundo de la cetrería, siendo la principal elección de estos aspirantes a cetreros como ave de iniciación, aunque muchos expertos y maestros consideran al Buteo jamaicensis como el ave por excelencia en la cetrería. Es realmente imposible pensar en cetrería en cuanto se refiere a Estados Unidos, como uno de los países líderes en la práctica de este arte y deporte, sin pensar en el Buteo de Cola Roja. Esta obra, dirigida no solo a los cetreros más expertos, sino también a aquellos que deseen iniciarse en la cetrería con ésta rapaz, va también dirigida a los amantes de la naturaleza y a aquellos que como a este buteo, les guste disfrutar de la vida. Este libro es una compilación actualizada fruto de los conocimientos que existen sobre el Buteo jamaicensis y de la experiencia propia de la autora con estos buteos. Es el primer libro monográfico en castellano que existe sobre esta maravillosa ave de presa, siendo además el primer libro de cetrería escrito por una autora en España. Se compone de capítulos específicos que incluyen: - Introducción al Buteo Jamaicensis: distribución en el continente americano, alimentación y técnicas de caza, comportamiento social, migración y reproducción.
- Descripción detallada sobre sus subespecies y sus variaciones, sus costumbres, distribución geográfica de estas (incluyendo un mapa) e información sobre otros buteos americanos similares, además de fotografías a todo color, de ejemplares salvajes en libertad y de aves en cetrería.
- Indicaciones para su adiestramiento básico y general, tanto en bajo vuelo como por altanería, y para la práctica del arte de la cetrería en cuanto a la caza de presas. También incluye patrones de material específicos para esta rapaz, información sobre legislación en cuanto a la práctica de la cetrería, salud y cuidados del ave, direcciones, bibliografía, etc.
- Artículos de colaboradores (nacionales y extranjeros) tanto de cetreros reconocidos por su trabajo y experiencia con esta especie, como artículos de interés general sobre la migración y programas de 'marcaje', técnicas de adiestramiento y consideraciones generales, fabricación de material, 'Squirrelhawking', e incluso sobre la cetrería en otros países con este maravilloso buteo.
- Un pequeño capítulo sobre la historia más bonita de amor vivida por estos buteos en Central Park (Nueva York) donde por primera vez en la historia, una familia de cola-rojas tiene a América unida y pendiente de ellos al ser las primeras rapaces que han querido compartir su vida con el hombre, decidiendo instalarse en uno de los edificios más prestigiosos de la ciudad, como un vecino más, dejando que los habitantes de esta ciudad participen en la magia de la naturaleza.

If someone would have told me ten years ago I'd be writing a book about my experiences living with a one hundred thirty five pound wolf dog in suburban Houston, I would most definitely have asked them what planet they had just come from. Even though I always have had a warm heart for animals in general, I could never have imagined taking on a creature whose cunning and spirited attitude would keep me on my toes "twenty-four-seven". This book has an interesting and natural storyline from the rescue phase to daily up and down clashes of acceptance by one another; a person's ultimate one on one relationship; and the spiritual connection between man and animal. This book was written with the thought and admiration for the wolf dogs and their owners all over the world who both go the extra mile trying to co-exist in a world that has little understanding of this type of bond and relationship. Enjoy.... Dedicated to Lobo, my buddy. (Please visit our website at www.loboandme for more photos and stories. You can email us at howl@loboandme)

This book is short and will take only a few minutes of your time to read. The setting of this book took place in the rural area of Southeastern Kentucky. All the people in this area were of the same class and held outstanding moral and ethical values. This today would be hard to come by, however when I look back and think of the many values that I learned from these great people, I pause and give thanks: The value of being honest, being truthful, obeying our parents, respecting our elders, and our religious training. These were wholesome assets. Some of these stories may seem a little devilish and mean to others and really they were. These antics were normal of this time period.

The First Nation or mountain people have provided the author with a detailed description of six huge species of animals, long thought to be extinct. These animals include two man-eating reptiles. The first is commonly referred to as the Thunderbird, also known as the flying dragon of Asia, the world’s largest flying animal which hunts strictly in darkness, a reptile whose scientific name is the pterodactyl. The other reptile is the animal in Takla Lake which is very likely the same animal that is in Loch Ness. As well, at the end of the last Ice Age there was an extinction of mega fauna, including the Woolly Mammoth, which they refer to as the Hairy Elephant; the Cave Bear, which they call the Rubber Faced Bear; and the Dire Wolf, which they call the Wilderness Wolf. The world’s largest ape, in fact the largest ape ever to walk the earth, twice the size of a gorilla is also included in the group of six species as well as a top predator in North America, commonly called Big Foot or Sasquatch. The First Nation people call them Stink People or Giants. This is a true accounting of these fascinating species.
