Canine Chronicles (Meredith)

Fully Staffed begins in 1980 with the story of Spike, aka Mr. Wigs, a beautiful Golden Labrador who melts the hearts of everyone he meets and breaks the hearts of the ones he leaves behind. As a puppy, he surprises all the vets by surviving a life-threatening disease, and goes on to enjoy a long, happy and healthy life. Several years later we meet Spike, then Jake-both Staffordshire Bull Terriers, but totally different in every way. Spike is the bruiser, while Jake is the social butterfly. This story is about how they came to live with us, their little quirks and the canine capers they got up to along the way. These two wonderful little guys filled our hearts, and our home, with joy and happiness, and completely changed our views about Staffies. Fully Staffed is a heartwarming story filled with tears of laughter and sadness, and sure to be enjoyed by dog lovers everywhere.

Liberating Louie begins where Fully Staffed ended and continues with Spike's story. It also introduces two very different dogs: Louie, a Staffordshire bull terrier cross, and Tia, a full staff from Lancashire and Yorkshire, respectively. Louie is a part-time lunatic while Tia is a reserved, timid little girl. They couldn't be any different, yet they get along famously. Discover the strange and peculiar things that Louie gets up to and how, along with his sidekick Tia. They manage to leave a trail of havoc and mayhem in their wake, causing plenty of amusement along the way. This is a true, sometimes-unbelievable story about life with these two dogs who, quite simply, are well past the daft side of normal. With laughter and a few tears along the way, this is sure to please all the dog lovers out there.
