Now whilst Phil has had dogs all his life, they were in the main, older rescue dogs and Ronnie's experience was limited to Tim, whom they only had for 4 years. Living with Tim introduced Ronnie to the joys of canine ownership, so when he went to the great field in the sky, it was a no brainer to look for another dog. However, they decided to get a puppy. A puppy was a new experience for both of them, and an experience it certainly was. There were plenty of incidents to cope with, as their new puppy grew up, many of which contributed to the slow deterioration of their newly renovated home.
This is a collection of tales showing a three-way evolving relationship between Phil, his wife, and the new puppy. Phil and his wife have to fit the needs and character of their puppy into their sometimes opposing lifestyles. Running through the episodes is the continuous battle of wills between Phil and his natural laziness, Ronnie's love of neatness, and the puppy, often with the puppy winning.
The book is subtitled "Causes of Indigestion for a Wolfy Puppy", and once I started it it drew me in and had a hard time putting it down. I actually read the first a hundred-odd pages in one sitting......
Recommend it? If you are a dog lover then it's a must read. Even if you're not the book is pretty funny at times plus a fast read, and I have enjoyed it despite my being a cat person (which isn't to say I don't like dogs, I just like cats more :) ).
