Sidnie Meets Uncle Sam - Travels with My Mum

Author(s): Karen Waldman

Biography & memoir | Yass Valley and surrounds

For Sidnie, the smart, handsome (if not quite prize-winning) cocker spaniel, life at home in Australia is just fine. But when Mum decides to spend winter on his human dad's Christmas tree farm in America, Sidnie has to pack his bags and go along too. Unsure at first, Sidnie explores cross-cultural challenges of the canine variety. Through his own words, with Mum's help, he tells of the thrills, struggles and delights of moving to the other side of the world. In among the Christmas trees, he runs into intimidating stags and gun-toting deer hunters, plays hide-and-seek with the friendlier wildlife, and chases squirrels as they gather nuts for winter. He throws himself into his first Thanksgiving Day feast with gusto! Even the urgent dash to the vet's that night, after helping himself to chocolate brownies doesn't diminish Sidnie's enjoyment.With the humour and wisdom you'd expect of a cocker spaniel, Sidnie keenly observes the antics of the 'choose and cut' Christmas tree customers, ponders the attitudes of the New Jersey canines, and illuminates the joys and challenges he and his human mum encounter in the land of Uncle Sam.
