The Further Adventures of Phil (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9780578944777)

A couple years ago, there was a male beagle hanging around the neighborhood who apparently had nowhere else to go. We already had five dogs, which was probably the reason he came to us. He seemed to want to come inside the gate and play with the others.

I'd let him in and he would play, jump and run around for about thirty minutes until he got bored and wanted to be let out. This went on multiple times a day for a couple of weeks.

Eventually, we were asked if the dog was ours. Because we have so many already, it was just assumed he was.

Well, it did not take but a hot minute and a silent look at each other before we said, "Sure, he's ours."

The Further Adventures of Phil is a series of short stories about a rescued-from-the-street beagle that came into our lives and changed us all for the better.

These stories are told from my own twisted perspectives, unique personal experiences and humorous life observations. These stories are my version of actual events that occurred within the confines of a fenced two-acre back-yard canine oasis.

No doggos, squirrels, moles, piggies, turtles, or humans were harmed in the telling of these stories.
