Woof! The Tale Gets Longer

For those who've missed meeting Rachel and Eric on television, the title comes from Eric-the-dog. It's the only way he can say 'yes' when he's not Eric-the-boy. Heralded by a small itch on his neck, the change to part-time 'doggy' status gives Eric a few difficulties, but also some distinct advantages. Rachel helps, not only with the practicalities of gathering discarded clothing at appropriate moments, but also with the scheming and plotting of their madcap adventures. End-stop chapters made serialisation easy and every page caused ripples of laughter during daring 'doggy' deeds. I shall view all dogs taking the morning air more respectfully in future and remember the awesome fate that befell Brian and Len.
