In chapter 11 "My dog once ate Mum's watercolor paints and made bright blue and green poops afterward."I get a lot of email from kids asking for more stories about my dog, Buddy. He is my quirky mutt with a big appetite. Buddy's basically a cattle dog. My dad trained him to help round up loose cattle on the farm. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, Buddy is handy to have! He also helps get the Friesians from the field into the shed at milking time every single day. We've got a small dairy farm in Co. Clare, Ireland. But you probably know all about my life if you've read my book: Cilie Yack is Under Attack. Buddy has been around since my brother Ronan was born. That makes him about 6 years old now. He's pretty much an outdoor dog. Most farm dogs are. And it's not that my mother would never allow him into our house or anything. Buddy just wouldn't have it. He spends most of his time chasing mice in the haybarn. He likes to chase the tractors and cars that pass on the road, too. So, I hope I've answered all your questions about my dog Buddy. Boys and girls, here's a little jigsaw puzzle for you to make. Have fun!
