Hello. My name is Plum and I'm a whoosell - that's whippet mixed with Jack Russell and poodle. I especially like swimming, leaping, catching, and croissants, and my favourite fragrance is fox poo. I live with Emma, an illustrator, and Rupert. My sister, Liffey, lives nearby. Over the last year I've been keeping a diary. Emma has helped with the pictures, but the words are all mine. Since 2012 Emma Chichester Clark has been delighting thousands of followers with her blog Plumdog, which records the day to day life of Plum, her dog, in Plum's own words and Emma's irresistible illustrations. This book collects Plum's best pages in book form. It will bring cries of delighted recognition from anyone who has ever owned a dog and, dare one say it, charm the pants off even those who strongly prefer cats.
A great book for any puppy-loving children of reading age. -- Alex O'Connor The Times This diary is full of affection for dogs, for people, for life's small joys and for the outdoors. -- Nicolette Jones Sunday Times A lovely, funny and wry look at life through a dog's eyes...aimed at anyone who loves dogs. Four Shires Doggy people will devour it all, wagging happily. -- Valerie Grove Oldie It's beautiful to look at, charming to read and will strike a chord with dog owners. -- Catherine Larner Suffolk Magazine
