Book SynopsisIn his first memoir, beloved comedian and national treasure Bill Bailey shares stories of his life - and the animals he''s met along the way.Bill Bailey has always had dogs, including a Patterdale terrier called Rocky who would travel with him in the van to his first shows and occasionally join him on stage. Fast forward a few decades and Bill has shared his home with a variety of birds, dogs, frogs, chameleons and an armadillo called Tommy. ''We even had a giant chicken, a huge Malay cockerel called Kid Creole. After a few stand-offs he took against me. He had to go in the end, I was being stalked in my own back garden.''That chicken apart, animals have always been at the heart of an extraordinary life as one of the nation''s favourite comedians, actors, musicians and (thanks to Strictly) dancers: from terriers to the orangutans of Sumatra and the parrots that share his breakfast every morning in west London.Full of the leftfield humour, wit and wisdom that has made Bill Bailey such a beloved performer around the world, My Animals and Other Animals is the story of Bill''s life; but more than that, it''s the story of how all of our lives are enriched by the animals who accompany us on that journey.

Book SynopsisDogs throughout history have enjoyed a special relationship with humankind, and our favourite four-legged creatures continue to grow in popularity. The writers and poets collected within this anthology reflect on the joys and pitfalls of dog ownership with brilliant wit, insight, and affection. From Roald Amundsen’s account of using and eating sled dogs in his expedition to the South Pole, to J.R. Ackerley’s tender portrayal of his ill-behaved dog Tulip, ON DOGS traces the canine’s journey from working animal to pampered pet.

Gill, David Sedaris, Barbara Woodhouse, and many more.Trade Review"The infectious joy of dogs figures large in On Dogs: An Anthology, introduced by the actor and comedian Tracey Ullman. Although she is a devoted dog-lover…the selections in the anthology are not all feel-good. S everal are dark or poignant pieces on a dog’s death; others offer sour or sardonic comments on pet dogs.

Cooper, The TLS “This heartwarming compendium includes short essays, stories, reflections and poetry from note- worthy writers ranging from Virginia Woolf and David Sedaris to Shakespeare and Brigitte Bardot. A linen-bound hardcover sized to fit perfectly in the hand, it’s ideal for gift-giving.” — The Bark “Introduced by Tracey Ullman, this elegant, pocketsize tribute to our most loyal friends is realised in excerpts from novels, poems and literary theory.” — Louise Darblay, Art ReviewTable of ContentsContributors: Shakespeare, Alice Walker, Charles Dickens, Alexandre Dumas, James Thurber, Miranda Hart, Roald Amundsen, Will Self, Roger Scruton, Mikhail Bulgakov, J.M.

The extraordinary animals who have chosen, at a soul level, to live alongside humans are lightworkers on the front lines of the animal kingdom’s mission to help people to heal, evolve, and assist in raising the vibration of the planet and collective consciousness to 5D.As Tammy Billups reveals, once we become aware of the soul path of our animal companions, we are then able to connect with them soul-to-soul, not only supporting their soul missions but also finding the healing we need to let go of 3D reality. Sharing stories of incredible animal wayshowers from around the world, she explores the many levels of service your beloved animal friends are providing you every day, including during disasters, storms, and pandemics. She shows how they help shoulder the psychological and emotional burdens we are not yet capable of holding on our own and show us the way back to our own hearts. The author offers meditations, rituals, and exercises for applying the teachings of the animal stories shared, including transformational soul practices to embrace 5D frequencies, intuit heart intelligence, connect to the Higher Self, and heal the shadow. Offering ways to embrace and emulate the soul teachings of our animal companions, Tammy Billups shows that, by honoring animals as courageous guides on our ascension to 5D consciousness, we too can become wayshowers in our own rightTrade Review“Shows how to let animals teach you, help you heal trauma, awaken to your purpose in life, and make your soul journey on Earth lighter and full of joy.” * Penelope Smith, author of Animal Talk *“Billups provides unique insights as to the sacred purpose of the animals in our lives that demonstrate how powerful they are and will leave you no doubt about their direct connection to Source.” * Steven Farmer, Ph.D., author of Animal Spirit Guides *“Animal wayshowers are the much-needed guides of these uncertain times.

Bravo!” * Lynn McKenzie, author of Bark, Neigh, Meow *“Animal Wayshowers is a well-crafted lighthouse of a book, awakening our path forward beyond 3D into the 5D consciousness of truly living a life of unconditional love and service to humanity. Billups skillfully communicates through each example story our own capacity to love deeper when we open our hearts and minds to the greater possibilities of how our fur friends are guiding us to a world more amazing than we could ever imagine. Time and time again the book moved me to tears and broke my soul open into a deeper understanding of just how perfect our animal companions are. Animal Wayshowers is a road map into ascension, if you are ready, to living in a 5D world.” * Don Reed Simmons, sound therapist and shamanic practitioner and teacher *“Animal Wayshowers is life changing! You will never see animals in the same way again. Billups takes us to a new level of understanding our complex relationship with animals that breaks through the old paradigm of the myth of human superiority as it invites us to recognize them as fifth-dimensional wayshowers for humanity. Through teachings, a stellar illustration of the dimensions, animal stories, and a subtle but profound shift in perspective, you will see with new eyes. Brilliant!” * Carley Mattimore, MS, LCPC, coauthor of Sacred Messengers of Shamanic Africa *“Tammy Billups helps us embark upon a journey to higher consciousness by learning from our beloved animal companions.

Just as the animals in this book hold a higher vibration for their human companions, the energy in these pages will shift you into a higher frequency way of being, and the words will guide and lovingly support you on your ascension path.” * Judith Corvin-Blackburn, LCSW, DMin, author of Activating Your 5D Frequency and Empowering the Spiri *“Tammy Billups has managed to effortlessly capture what we instinctively knew was already true and illustrates it through dozens of real-life stories from around the globe. As a lifelong empath and animal lover, I have experienced what Tammy highlights in her book, and I know the truth of it in my bones. Animals have consciousness, self-awareness, purpose, and soul. Her book gives heartwarming validation, yet also real-world, actionable advice and practices to engage with your companion more intimately and raise your personal frequency. If you want a deeper understanding of the role our animals play in our lives and how they help us heal and evolve, you must read this book!” * Rev. Stephanie Red Feather, Ph.D., author of The Evolutionary Empath *“In her third book, animal healer extraordinaire Tammy Billups once again raises our collective understanding of what underlies the extraordinary connections that many of us have with our animal companions.

Ensuring a coherent approach to the maintenance of animal health and wellbeing is of paramount importance, yet challenges such as interprofessional prejudice, misunderstanding of motivations, and a lack of recognition, respect, empowerment or trust, can prevent best practice.Nutrition is one of the most important considerations in the maintenance of health, and plays a critical role in disease management, patient recovery and hospital outcome; a reflection of its recognition as the fifth vital assessment. Owners are increasingly aware of the role of nutrition in optimising pet health, yet considerable misinformation can make this one of the most difficult aspects of pet ownership. Playing a central role as a source of expert information, veterinary healthcare teams must rise to the challenge of optimising pet nutrition.Effective interprofessional communication and collaboration is considered a key factor in the successful implementation of nutritional assessment, and a positive team environment founded on respect, trust and mutual support helps overcome challenges and provide the best outcome for both pets and their owners. This book provides evidence-based theory in an accessible and practical way to help veterinary healthcare teams implement interprofessional approaches to nutritional care and support.
