      And They Call It…

      Oct 17, 2019

      I HAVE recently become a mother. Well, sort of. What I’ve actually become is the obsessive owner of a terrier puppy. I did not intend to get a puppy. Actually, I was quite dubious about the questionable practicalities, indeed the necessity of getting

      Jan 29, 2024

      I’m very taken by the story of Merlin – the dog, rather than the shape-shifting magician pal of Arthur. Though there is something magical about the dog. Merlin, a springer spaniel, went missing on New Year’s Day. He suffered a fit in his owner’s fron

      RIP Fletcher

      Apr 6, 2022

      THE collapsed bag on the kitchen floor, the squeak of the back door as it opens and closes, a lump in an unmade bed… for a fraction of a second, I think these are Fletcher. But they’re not, because, exactly a week ago, Fletcher, our dachshund, was pu

      About the Author

      Three in the morning it was, when I spotted two girls walking towards me. Well, I say walking; they were wearing the kind of shoes which are designed for sitting down and looking pretty in, and they'd had more than a few drinks. They were talking in that way which seems quiet to those who've been drinking, but really isn't.

      There'sh a man coming.

      Wash he doing?

      Dunno.

      Hiding in the bushes is what I was doing. Doesn't sound too good, does it? I don't have a daughter, but if I did, I know I wouldn't want her stumbling in from a
