Whilst my four legged companion sat beside me I wrote a book which tells the story of The Drummer Boy. This novel is about the ghost of a Gordon Highlander Drummer Boy from the Battle of Waterloo who haunts a modern day army nurse.


Chapters take place in modern day Aberdeen, at the Noose & Monkey bar and restaurant as well as His Majesty’s Theatre and Garthdee. Other scenes take place at Tidworth and during the Napoleonic War.

PREVENTION OF KENNEL COUGH

Vaccination by live attenuated vaccine nose drops administered by a vet is the recognised prevention. Some boarding kennels will insist that your dog have this (with a certificate of administration) before accepting your dog. It will take 5 days for a dog to develop immunity, so early vaccination is recommended before kennelling.
