My new book to be published in late January 2012

Greetings to my fellow Australians, and to all youse Pommies who are out there waiting to join up. My name is Chloe, and I was once a fun-loving dog, living in a small watering hole called Gidgegannup, in the western bit of the old sun-burned land, not far from the great city of Perth. I spent many happy days there baking my bum in the sun, chasing chooks and roos, digging up flowerbeds, and giving a right royal serve to any mongrels who dared to venture onto our property. I was also getting plenty of good tucker, including Coles Dog Chocs, and the odd cheese and biscuit around beer-o-clock time.

Then suddenly my owners went walk about, and I was sent back to the kennel where I was born. I was eventually transported in a cage on a big silver bird to this strange place called England, where it rains most days and the blokes think they can play cricket (In their dreams!!).

But it wasn`t all bad. I did meet up with my owners again, and got a load of laughs from their efforts to resettle into this weird country.

If you want to read my story, you must buy a copy of Home Thoughts On Abroad, yours for only a few dollars, which includes a donation to my retirement fund. It will bring tears to your eyes and make your belly ache with laughing.

Don’t forget, Home Thoughts On Abroad, ghost written by my male human, Malcolm Orr who spent several years helping to look after the old Uni down in Nedlands, and published by Austin and Macauley, available  from the end of January 2012 at your local bookshop or newsagents, and on line from amazon.com here.
