Forgive me. Just a few words, please. I’ve made my ‘humorous and compassionate’ book, ‘Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee,’ available to U.S. readers (or anyone who can access Amazon.com) for only 99 cents until 26th March.

With 18 x 5* reviews on the UK Amazon, and to date, 6 x 5* reviews on the US Amazon site, I’d like to think this is one for dog / pet lovers and dog walkers everywhere.

Especially USA & Canada!

Done. Sorry.

Sandy pups.

Here’s the update on Sandy, the Goan beach hound, and her puppies.

Of her seven-pup litter, sadly only five actually survived.

Sandy and her pups are presently being looked after in a local rescue centre. Once weaned, the pups will be found new homes. I do know that many local residents are keen to take dogs in, so hopefully this will be a quick and straight forward process.

Sandy however, has only ever known the beach and the surrounding forest as her home. She has now been sterilized, and will be returned to the area she knows best when the pups have been removed.

Harsh, I know – but hopefully she’ll stick around and we’ll see her again in around nine month’s time.

Litter on the beach.

I know. It’s disgusting, isn’t it?

But not in this case! It’s lovely!

Sandy aka Hazibabes – Goa, January 2016

Regular readers will know that while on holiday in Goa, India at the New Year, we ‘adopted’ Sandy (aka Hazibabes) for two weeks. She’d sit under our sun beds and we’d feed her naan bread and chicken while we ate our meals at the Starfish beach shack. She especially loved the ‘secret recipe’ curry sauce produced by the chef from Kerala.

At the time, we thought she was pregnant. There were ‘signs’ although she wasn’t showing too much in the  way of bulk.

This evening, though, I received a message to say that Sandy is now the proud mother of SIX little pups! (She gave birth to seven, but with a litter that size in the conditions in which she lives, it’s hardly surprising that one sadly didn’t make it.)

Hopefully they’ll all make it through the oncoming monsoon season, when the shack will will be taken down and the tourists, on the whole, will disappear for a few months. And how many she allows to remain on her defined patch by the time we visit again next January, remains to be seen.

Meantime, I’m hoping to be sent some photos of the litter sometime soon and if so, will post them here as soon as.

Even Sandy found something amusing in 'Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee.'

‘Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee.’

DD&RW - Cee Tee Jackson ... MASTER - Copy - Poster 1000It’s been a wee while since I mentioned my book, ‘Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee.

That fact just dawned this morning when I noticed that another ‘five star’ review (the sixteenth) had been posted to Amazon.co.uk.

‘A book not just for dog lovers – so well written. The writer draws you in as if you were right there on the adventures with the little darlings , – from doggies to bunnies to reptiles .
A lovely book to devour from start to finish , took it on my hols – thoroughly enjoyed it !’

The book is available in United States via Amazon.com and indeed worldwide through the various regional Amazon stores.

Even Sandy found something amusing in 'Damp Dogs & Rabbit Wee.'
