Elvis Doodle: Blog For Dogs - Intro

Foreword by Elvis’s human

Angela Cowan

Hello, I’m Angela Cowan (the one on the right), an author and artist from Kilmarnock in Scotland, and I share a house with Elvis Doodle. Or should I say, he lets me cohabit here, as long as I feed him, buy him treats and let him sleep on the settee, my bed, and pretty much anywhere else he likes. Apparently, I signed a contract to this effect when he was a puppy, although I don’t remember doing this. Elvis says that’s due to my advancing years and the contract is non-negotiable, although he’s added a rider about tennis balls and pepperoni pizza.

Having a Labradoodle is a bit like being mugged on a regular basis by an overgrown, excitable, hairy toddler with no spatial awareness, a permanently wet beard, and an unhealthy cardboard fixation. But I wouldn’t change any of this, not for all the tea in China. Although, I mostly drink coffee, so that doesn’t really…

Anyway, my Doodle Elvis wants me to say he is incredibly handsome, extremely intelligent, and incredibly handsome – in case you missed that bit. He put his thoughts down on paper for this blog. Unfortunately, he chewed the paper afterwards so his thoughts are a bit soggy, but as his editor, treat supplier and general dogsbody, I managed to retrieve them and present them for you.

Elvis has graciously allowed me to narrate his audio book - available soon on Audible -although he’s claiming all the royalties and planning a lad’s weekend in Marbella. I hope you enjoy this blog, and if you have a dog of your own, whatever you do, don’t let them read this…
