The Antics of Mima Linda and Pipo Lindo.

“Carry on like this and you’ll be dead in six months – or at best, in a padded cell with nothing but a packet of crayons to keep you entertained,” my doctor said with a thin smile. “Sort your life out, Nick - or else.” He gave me a cheeky wink, “Now, come outside and see my new car!”

This is where it all started.

Within six months, Nick and Lesley Albert had sold everything and moved to beautiful County Clare, in the west coast of Ireland – a Country they had never before visited. With little money or experience they set about renovating a derelict farmhouse, and building a new life; hindered only by their lack of skill and several unruly dogs.
Bursting with hilarious anecdotes and witty observations, blended with the occasional moments of exquisite sadness, “An Irish Tail” is a delightful story of an English couple searching for a new life in the quiet solitude of rural Ireland.
If you love dogs, Ireland and life, then you will love “An Irish Tail”.

After a successful career in training and coaching, Nick Albert moved to Ireland to escape the stresses of modern life. Today he lives with his wife, their four dogs, 22 chickens and two ducks, in County Clare, Ireland. An Irish Tail is their story.

Computer programmer Alaina Howard has a new office mate, and she couldn’t be happier that he’s handsome and unattached. Although initially uncertain of his position in the company, she quickly realizes that he’s good at his job and a valuable asset. If only she knew why the seemingly non-disabled man needed a service dog, things would be perfect.

Army veteran Jordan Blake is thrilled to get a job that allows him to pursue his dream of learning web development. The position is even sweeter thanks to the beautiful woman he shares an office with. The only drawback is that she seems suspicious of his need for a ser-vice dog to assist with an invisible disability.

Will Alaina’s suspicion and Jordan’s reluctance to talk about his disability keep them from developing the relationship they both desire?

When Della found a stray dog living wild with her thirteen puppies on a beach in Rhodes she was determined not to get involved.

But fate had other ideas and Della brought Lindy back to England.

Lindy had already proved herself to be a true survivor, but she was more of a survivor than Della had ever dreamed. Over the next eight years she survived a series of events, any one of which might have finished off a lesser dog than Lindy. They included: being stampeded by a herd of angry cows; a rare life threatening form of anaemia; being swept down the river after chasing ducks; falling out of a car travelling at speed, and getting lost for a night in a forest.

The Dog with Nine Lives is both poignant and humorous. Dog lovers will love it. It is the true story of a very special dog.
