- fun) in the form of Peggy Some of you may be thinking a book about a dog how totally brilliant I need hear no more I'm sold In which case we should be best friends & go out to tea together every day Others of you may be thinking a book about a dog how totally mad she must have officially lost it In which case I completely understand For I once viewed dog owners with much suspicion The way they obsessively talk about their dogs often using voices for them to reply; the way they have a light covering of dog hair all over their clothes & sofas; & worse an alarming comfort & ease around excrement But I now get why people become so mad about their hounds It wasn't instant love I have to admit Getting a puppy when I was at a low ebb in my life wasn't easy
- there was a lot of challenging what I call dog administration (dog-min) & the humiliating first trip to the vet still haunts me It's been a bumpy old road but Peggy has been lovingly by my side through some life-changing moments & I wouldn't have coped without her Most surprisingly she has taught me a huge amount
- not how to get an old pie packet out of a bin & lick it (I could already do that) but real lessons about life & love & trust & friendship Put aside any doggy reservations & come walkies with Peggy & me
