when me wuz yung, me had a bad time an'
me ran away from me furst master. A nice human brung me to sharps hill up in de montains
where dis big fella, who seemed ok for a human, came
and took me to sea his yella boat. Dat wuz a long time ago and we still go away sumtimes in his white boat - funny ting is, he calls it saltie dog - but it don't smell like no
dog to me. Other humans call dis big fella charlie - he's just master to me -
and boy, does he shout sumtimes. Us oirish goathounds has very
sensitive hearing ya no.
Us dogs has a hard time - always being told do dis or do dat, me just like to play with little yellow
balls, smell other dog bums or me best - sleep all day- Now dats
me dog heaven. Me got help from me other pal scratcher
mac flay who had a human daddy, so he can translate
dog talk into human talk - he sure looks funny with a dogs head an tale but
human arms 'n legs.
Me had a few strange times as me an
de master brung all dese
other humans away in de yella boat an de dog boat - scratcher says me should let you no about sum o dem stories.
One time, long time ago - 35 dog yeers
ago when me wuz still a bit puppeeish,
de master tide me up outside dis ol
smelly castle in carnarvan - me swore me smelt corgi
dog pee dere (scratcher says some queen human owns
sum corgis). Me was just enjoyin a nice sleep when
this nice little girl human with a shaky man came along an
brung me for a walk - we wuz
not goin to de boat, coz we wuz goin up a hill. Dis stange man kept walkin funny an nearly walked on
me a few times - he smelt like de master after he spends a long time drinkin dat black stuff. De master jumped outta sum car and wuz shoutin like mad at dis shaky
man. We den went into dis house where de humans wuz all in blue with strange hats and me heard de master
talk about dog nappin - more like nappin
interupted. Me saw him give de little girl sum paper
money and we went off to de yella boat again to meet
de other humans - master wuz very nice to me dat day.
This 1st episode of his
adventures is dedicated to my Dad, Simon J. Kavanagh, who sadly passed away on
