What do you do when you suddenly find yourself jobless, middle aged, but still needing an income?...... This is a true story of the adventures of a pet sitter, on the Mediterranean island of Mallorca; her descriptions of the wonderful pets and their sometimes weird and wonderful owners, and the often-hilarious circumstances surrounding them all. Interspersed with her humorous thoughts and observations of people, places and life in general. From the dead goldfish and kamikaze pigeon to the sheep-chasing king poodle, dogs that have scrambled egg for breakfast... and the marathon-swimming hedgehog. And much, much more........
