Puppy Love

In my life I have wished a million thousand times for a puppy, so was officially over the moon when I finally obtained Parental Consent to get Honey the most absolutely softest and velvetest Golden Labrador you have ever imagined. Since she moved in we have had some extremely funny adventures while dealing with my weird sister April’s frankly unfortunate love crush on Honey’s vet. It has all been rather manic but luckily I am an expert in De Fusing the Tension and Staying Ahead of the Game when it comes to this sort of situation, as you will see. This is the first book in a precisely charming new series about me and Honey.

Pup Idol

I hope everyone out there will know by now about how I, Summer Holly Love, finally persuaded my mum to let me have a wonderful golden Labrador puppy of my own named Honey. If you are not aware of this, you can read all about it in ‘Puppy Love’, a fascinating and frankly gripping account of the said event. Anyway, things have moved on since those early days of dog ownership. Honey went through a bit of a difficult phase recently, developing a taste for shoes mainly flip flops and terrorising dinner guests. So, to help her through her awkward adolescence, I dutifully and brilliantly trained her at obedience class and in the garden. And, hurrah! Honey’s amazing talents shone through just in time for our school talent content, where we performed our ‘Pup Idol‘ star act and became famous celebrities in our own right!
