Wally and Bert, on their way!!

The children at Barton will be excited to see their work in print soon. Wally and Bert BFFs has passed it's proof reading sessions with the dogs and we all think it's ready to be launched on the public.

The real Wallydog is cross that Wally in the book looks nothing like him. But I distract him from his melancholy but saying 'BISCUITS'. 

I first thought of the characters in the book when out walking the real Wallydog, who's tail persistently taps him on the back when he's got a little jaunt in his step. He kept turning round to see who was doing it, not realising it was his own tail. Thus was born the character of Bert, the dog's best friend who is at least twice as clever as the actual dog himself.

In this story, they step in for their housemate and chum Blenda, who is too ill to go to work. They go instead and spend the afternoon with Mr Wong at the Chinese Restaurant. It all goes a bit pearshaped though, when Wally loses his concentration.....
