My life with George
surviving life with the king of the canines
by Judith Summers
When both her husband and father died of cancer within a fortnight of each other, Summers fell into the depths of depression. Life for Judith and her eight-year-old son looked bleak. Yet it was at this point that she would fall in love again - with a dog. This is her account of how George, a Cavalier King Charles spaniel, brought joie de vivre back into her life but also how his erratic behaviour led to some testing experiences of their own.

Work Description
When Judith Summers's husband and father both died within the space of two weeks, she found herself floundering. Life for her and her eight-year-old son Joshua seemed relentlessly bleak. Then George bounced into their lives. A loving Cavalier King Charles Spaniel with film-star looks, George reawoke their joie de vivre. Yet Judith soon discovered that living with George had its drawbacks. He was a full-time job and as expensive to run as a Ferrari. Wilful and badly behaved, he refused to eat anything other than roast chicken, preferred travelling by car to walking, and became as jealous as a spurned lover if any man dared show an interest in her. And when a near-death tangle with a Staffordshire Bull terrier resulted in costly sessions with an animal psychologist, Judith found that it was she who was put on the couch . . .
