Produktbeschreibung

I come from a family of unashamed pet-owners, though it seems to me that the pets we have owned have done more of the owning of us than we have of them.

Watching our feline and canine companions over the years has led me to the inescapable conclusion that the term pe(s)t is more accurate. I doubt any of them did not, at one time or another, thoroughly get in our ways - sometimes bizarrely, sometimes bewilderingly, and often humourously.

This book is about what happens when a family of inveterate pet owners and their pets interact. It is a series of anecdotes and reminiscences about the shenanigans that pets can inflict upon their owners, sometimes bizarrely, sometimes bewilderingly and frequently humorously. Pets show us what to do with rugs on polished marble floors; the correct use of garden pots, sinks and washing machine drums; the dangers of hot air balloons; the unreliable nature of lakeside vegetation; how to hunt rabbits, possums and birds (and even, on occasion, catch them!); how to travel across several meridians of latitude in a style guaranteed to maximise the embarrassment to their owners; how to provide instant and unusual assistance in the garden; and the joys of getting themselves, or their owners, thoroughly wet at any given opportunity.

Autorenporträt

Daughter of a career diplomat, Kerry grew up in Australia and postings in New Zealand, Africa, Europe and Asia, a mobile childhood that probably stimulated the imagination and certainly ended up with an eclectic education. She graduated from the then Canberra College of Advanced Education, with a Bachelor of Applied Science (Biology), a degree which focused mainly upon ecological conservation. She entered the Australian Public Service as a base-grade clerk in 1980 and spent over twenty years in the service. This was followed by a brief foray as a natural resource consultant and a slightly longer time as a fitness personal trainer, before retiring from paid employment. She lives in Canberra with four cats and an collection of (largely unfinished) projects, varying from further writings to drawings, woodworks and her garden. It has been a lifetime of writing, sketching and generally trying to create things, with mixed success but (usually) a lot of enjoyment.
