Charming for all dog lovers but compulsory for Tibbie lovers,
By A Customer
This review is from: Perry: The Diary of a Perfect Puppy (Paperback)
Perry - Diary of a Perfect Puppy is the first-dog account of Perry's adventures and misadventures as Mr. & Mrs. Thornely-Taylor's Tibetan Spaniel puppy on their farm in southern England. The diary opens when Perry is six weeks old, just before he leaves his dam, and concludes with the day of his first birthday party.What is a charming little book for any dog lover should be compulsory reading for all us Tibetan Spaniel (Tibbie) lovers. It is unique in the literature of our enchanting breed. Though Perry is a perfect puppy, he nonetheless experiences the ordinary travails of puppyhood. He has the occasional upset tummy or "accident," as when he consumes large quantities of cat food. He also succumbs to occasional temptations, such as stealing burnt wood chips from the fireplace for a chew and game on the sitting room carpet or helping his Mum weed the garden by pulling up her newly planted flowers. Typically Tibbie trouble, such as an escapade on his own in a nearby forest, are the result when Perry becomes bored, as Tibbies often do. But, like the intelligent Tibbie that he is, Perry is a fast learner. After each such mishap, he is always very sorry and reminds himself that it is something PERRYS MUST NOT DO. Mrs. Thornely-Taylor's journalism background is evident in Perry. Without resorting to "baby talk," her accounts of otherwise mundane routines of his humans are fresh when seen through Perry's puppy eyes. His friendship with an Italian Spinoni called Zak, spats with his housemate Tigger the cat, respectful relations with the cattle that occupy the farm, love of his collection of fuzzy toys and devotion to his Tibbie family are all expressed charmingly. Perry is a paperback with color photos on front and back covers. Divided into four seasons, each season begins with a sweet full-page illustration by Rupert Thornely-Taylor. There are 10 illustrations in all. The appearance of the book is further enhanced by a center section of 8 color photographs. Its only fault, which I mention with regret, is the binding. Since several pages came loose during my first reading, anyone purchasing the book must take care to handle it gently. During his puppyhood, Perry was an only Tibbie. Since then, a Tibbie sister called Saffron has come to live with Perry and the Thornely-Taylors. It is little surprise that Perry's family has fallen under the Tibbie spell and acquired an "attitude" (the collective noun for Tibbies). That is, of course, something we TIBBIE PEOPLE SIMPLY MUST DO.
