This paper studies the asymptotic stability and strict boundedness of the non-autonomous nonlinear difference equations with time-varying delay \[ x_{n+1}=\lambda_nx_n+\alpha_nF(n,x_{n-\omega_n}). \] The first section is devoted to literature reviews. The main results of the paper are in the second section. In Theorem 1, the author provides the sufficient condition such that the zero solution is asymptotically stable. Then Theorem 2 provides the sufficient condition for the strict boundedness for every solution of the main equation. The main tools used here are fixed point theory and some analytical techniques. In the third section, the author applies the main theorems to the Nicholson's blowflies model \[ x_{n+1}=\lambda_nx_n+\alpha_nx_{n-\omega_n}e^{-q_nx_{n-\omega_n}}, \] and the bobwhite quail population model \[ x_{n+1}=\lambda_nx_n+\alpha_n\frac{x_{n-\omega_n}}{1+x_{n-\omega_n}^k}. \] A few corollaries are presented to discuss the sufficient conditions that these two models are extinctive or persistent. The author gives some numerical examples and simulations in the fourth section and the last section is a summary of the paper.
