so i seen Jenni Murry on Loose Women the other week with her 2 chihuahuas talking about the release of her new book 'My Boy Butch'
i don't do books at all but had to buy this book, i have only just started reading it but decided you guys all need to go and and get it! i dont think there is a better book to describe the way we all feel about our dogs and you will all totally get it.
Synopsis (pinched from waterstones website)
Much beloved broadcaster Jenni Murray recounts her great love affair with Butch the Chihuahua. There was always a dog. If not real, then imagined. As a lonely only child, Jenni Murray longed to have a dog. She had only Timmy her imaginary pooch for company until her fifth birthday when her parents bought her a beautiful little puppy -- Taffy the Corgi. This was to be the start of a life-long passion for man's best friend. Having been a small dog owner all her adult life, in her fifties the arrival of Butch the Chihuahua coincided with the devastating discovery that she had breast cancer. Butch proved to be a devoted source of comfort, love and hilarity at the most difficult time in her life. Making her smile when she wanted to cry and laugh when she needed to the most, Butch was an invaluable source of support and the reassuring presence of this special little dog helped Jenni to make a full recovery. Heartwarming, moving and hilarious at turns, My Boy Butch is a tribute to this oft maligned breed, and to a little dog who made life worth living again.
i also found a chapter online for you to read (if i haven't rambles on enough)
