Life Lessons from Pug Puppies in New Children's Book, What About Me?

Pismo Beach, CA (PRWeb) December 17, 2006 -- Destry Ramey's initial foray into children's fiction, "What About Me?" was inspired by a special friendship with her son's pugs and her own experience as a Pediatric Nurse Practitioner, which allowed her to observe how children deal with and respond to crisis situations as well as the everyday obstacles of growing up.

"What About Me?" tells the story of a brother and sister pug threatened by separation. Throughout the book, Ramey deftly handles issues from adoption to simply fitting in. "What About Me?" introduces Hunter, a character with whom children can identify as he struggles with feelings of frustration and isolation. Hunter's determination offers an encouraging model of self-confidence in any difficult situation.

Engaging full color illustrations enhance comprehension and will delight elementary readers and pug lovers of all ages. Ramey plans to write continuing adventures dealing with issues of self-esteem, cultural diversity and hyperactivity that challenge today's children and parents.

Training Your Puppy to Fetch and Come
When training your puppy the command "Come", situate yourself a good distance away from your dog. Get down into a position of kneeling or bending down while saying your puppy's name and then using the command "Come" during some mildly frantic clapping. This should engage your puppy to come. Go ahead and repeat this many repetitions as needed in order to get your puppy to come on command every time. Once the puppy seems to understand this routine, slowly extend the distance at which you are from him. Eventually your puppy should be able come even at a fairly long distance.
