Bill The Barmy Bull Terrier

This, sadly, is the last of the Mary Ann novels. I would love for there to be more. I would like to read about Mary Ann up till she enters a nursing home or passes on. She has been a ton of fun at every age so far. In this one she is 27 years old. Her twins, Rose Mary and David are still six and still getting into trouble. David has learned to swear and Rose Mary always gets her way. On top of these troublesome twins, Mary Ann now has to deal with a bull terrier, Bill. At first, things don't look good for Bill, the barmy bull terrier. He tears up Mary Ann's chairs and piddles and poos on her kitchen floor. But Mary Ann has a lot more on her mind when her husband Corny starts making "google" eyes at a young girl working nearby who obviously has Corny marked as her latest "bull's eye." Things just may work out all right tho and Bill may have a paw in it. I laughed out loud four or five times and even got a bit onion eyed at the end. A fabulous ending to a terrific series.
