Regular readers of Sue’s blog will be familiar with her “Notes From A Small Dog” posts, where Ani has her say.  Personally, I’m a big fan of those posts.

As it turns out, I have a similar thing on my blog where I hand the blog over to one of my furry family members every Friday.  It’s called “Furkid Friday” and I’ve been doing it on and off for several years now.  It started as random posts from the point of view of my West Highland White Terrier, Keroberous – Kero for short.  But pretty soon the rest of my furkids were having their say too.

Then I stopped blogging for a while.  I regret that choice now, because it meant I lost touch with some wonderful people.  I’ve been blogging again for ages – I actually didn’t last all that long not doing so – and tried to connect with some of them again, but my success in this area has been extremely low, since most of them either don’t appear to be blogging any more, or are blogging elsewhere, because most of my links are no good.  This makes me sad, because I made some wonderful friends in my early blogging days, and I miss them.  Sure, I’ve kept in touch with a few, and made some new ones since I started blogging again.  But still…

There was, however, one good thing that came of my blogging break: Kero’s books.

You see, I missed doing my Furkid Friday posts.  I’m sure you can see where I’m going with this, right?

You guessed it! It was that, combined with my desire to combine my love for my beloved dog with my writing, that inspired me to write my “Kero’s World” series.

The series was originally planned as a six book series, where various experiences Kero and I have shared were combined in a way that they told a whole story.  There is some fiction in the books though, and not just in the fact it’s from his point of view, so I have to compensate for that.  For example: The place we lived in where it was possible to go to town by train wasn’t the same place where Kero was dropped off at a groomer, yet it is in one of the books (when we lived where we could go to town by train, we had a groomer come to the house to groom Kero).  But every one of the books is based on Kero’s life, and the experiences we shared.

Even the unplanned seventh book, which tells the story of his trip across the rainbow bridge, starts out as a story of our final experience together.

The books have been in eBook and paperback for a while, and now they’re also available in audio, thanks to the skills of narrator Giles Miller.

I’m giving away some complete sets of the audiobooks via Audible.  To find out how to get your hands on a set, check out my blog post from November 19^th 2017.

Book 4 – Kero Celebrates Halloween

Something strange is going on, and Kero doesn’t know if he’s more confused or frightened. All he knows for sure is that the humans are calling it Halloween. Will Kero be able to make sense of this Halloween thing? Or is it just too scary and confusing for a little dog to understand?

Book 7 – Kero Crosses The Rainbow Bridge

Kero is sicker than he’s ever been before, and has been for a while now. It looks like it’s time for another trip to the vet.

This is the final book in the “Kero’s World” series, and tells the story of the saddest and very last chapter in the life of a beloved dog, as he goes to the place where all of us must go eventually.
