I have just finished my first book. It is about our life with Kopek.

Synopsis:
Phil and his wife, Ronnie, started with two rabbits. Then along came Tim, a grouchy 11-year-old Border collie they adopted from the Blue Cross. Next, they acquired another rabbit, a guinea pig, yet another rabbit, and then a cat.

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 Ronnie have to fit the needs and character of their puppy into their sometimes contradictory lifestyles. Running through the episodes is the continuous battle of wills between Phil and his natural laziness, his wife’s love of neatness, and the puppy, often with the puppy winning.

You can find out more, and read the first chapter on the Kopek Publishing website.

There are currently two reviews available online for the book:
