Good Girl, Plummie!

Okay. If you like illustrations and you like dogs….man, oh man, have I got a book for you!

As some of you may know, before I started working at Lemuria I was an adoption coordinator for a humane society. With that being said, I’m pretty into animals. Cats, dogs, rabbits, ferrets, whatever…I like them all.

JacketWhile I was working at the humane society, I was around about 150 animals every day. I currently have one dog, two cats, and one foster dog. So, right now I’m only around four a day. When I’m with my dog or cats, I’ll find myself wondering what they’re thinking about or trying to tell me (if that sounds weird….oh, well). BUT, don’t you fret; with Clark’s new book, Plumdog, I have the best look into a dog’s mind I could ever ask for.

Emma Chichester Clark is an illustrator and author located in London, England and has written and illustrated several children’s books. Clark has also created a blog (which has now been published in book form) that is all about her dog, Plum, who is a Whoosell (whippet, Jack Russell and poodle). Clark writes about Plum’s daily doings and illustrates them with her beautiful paintings. Basically, it is the most adorable, funny, and sweetest dog diary I’ve ever seen (or maybe even ever heard of).

Emma and Plum

If you’re wondering why your dog is rolling around in fox poop, Plum lets you know that it’s probably because it’s the best smelling perfume out there. Maybe you’re trying to figure out why your dog doesn’t give you back the ball you just threw for them. Again, Plum lets you know that once the ball is hers, it’s hers….no matter how 7744ecdc-6ab3-486a-85d4-75d04a7a5d11nicely you may ask for it back. That’s just how it is. Also, Plum would like for any and every dog owner to quit blaming their dogs for any rude noise or smell that occurs. It’s just simply not the dog….most of the time.

This book is perfectly illustrated and I laughed so many times while reading it. If you’re a lover of a good looking book and dogs, this book belongs to you. Come find me in Lemuria and we’ll just sneek into a nook in the store, sit on the floor and flip through this little gem.

Speaking of dogs, this is my foster pup “Audrey”. She is available for adoption with Jackson Friends of the Animal Shelter. She is spayed, up to date on shots, crate trained, and good with other dogs and cats.  Please let me know if you are interested in adopting!
