“Handbags and Poobags.... and bags of laughs too! A love story with a twist in its very waggy tail. I think Alice Wright is really Bridget Bones! Forget Hugh Grant or Colin Firth though, her dog is a much better love interest (and he’s a proper Boxer!)
If you’re contemplating settling down with a good dog, read this first and if it doesn’t put you off then you’ll be fine. Already had your heart stolen by a dog? You’ll definitely recognise the dogification of your wardrobe, the permanent damage to your flooring and especially the gritty bed linen!
What a page-turner. I Loved it.”
Beverley Cuddy, Editor DOGS TODAY MAGAZINE
"Incredibly honest, genuine and captivating... a real life take on modern day doggie living. It is brutally honest yet heart-warmingly brilliant. A must for all animal fans."
Jessica Brown, PETS MAGAZINE
What happens when you drop a big, bouncing Boxer dog into the life of a glamorous girl about town? Alice Wright reveals all in her dog-memoir with a difference...
Alice's busy life consists of 'parties, premieres and private members clubs' and she loves it! She certainly doesn't want the responsiblity of a partner or a pooch but seems to end up with more than she bargained for in this very funny but incredibly personal memoir about modern dog ownership.
Set in the streets of Soho and the parks of North London HANDBAGS AND POOBAGS reveals why you should never wear a long cashmere scarf when poop scooping and how to hide a dog under a barstool and in the back of a taxi-cab.
A bit different from the traditional pet-memoir this warm, touching real life tale is full of embarrassing anecdotes and surprising discoveries as Alice realises that owning a dog changes not only her lifestyle but her life.

I almost deleted this one. The first few chapters about drunken nights, hangovers, and vomiting in ones handbag and hat were not appealing to me. In fact, I'd call it a complete turnoff. I went back to Amazon and read some of the reviews before continuing. If you can get past those chapters, it does get better. Alice Wright and her partner (eventually husband) decide to get a dog and choose a Boxer puppy. Her descriptions of becoming a dog owner and the responsibilities that descend upon her are comical, often laugh out loud funny. The chapter about the dog sleeping in their bed was my favorite. As a pet owner, I certainly could relate to much of what Mrs. Wright discusses. Overall, a decent read, but if I could read it again without the references to drunken nights, all the better. A few editing errors.Product details

Handbags and Poobags Tales of a Soho Boxer Dog eBook Alice Wright Reviews
Loved it! Finally a new dog owner who does all the right things and doesn't end up with a misbehaving, neurotic dog.
Having written about a beloved pet I know that there is much more than poo to discuss. I also got very tired hearing how much the author enjoyed going out partying.
Every dog lover must read this. I have had several dogs in my life and I can find some of them in Basil. It makes me miss them.
This was an enjoyable story about a party girl's entrance into the world of responsible pet owner. I love boxers and enjoyed reading about Alice's dog. There are some truly funny stories, all the funnier because they probably happen to every boxer owner!
Thank you so much for such a wonderful book! I laughed at so much of it. I kept thinking, "been there, done that!" (But with collies.)
Loved this book so much that I think I will keep it and read it again.
I am the proud owner of an 11 week old puppy, I could not have chosen a better book to read. The trials, tribulations and sheer joy of this authors attempt to bring up her beloved boxer puppy in London is enormous fun. Loved it, go out and buy it all you dog lovers you will not be sorry. By the way, it is also very well written!
Disclaimer I'm a Boxer person! When I read a book featuring a Boxer, I look for the "boxerisms" and I sure found them in this work. )
Alice is a party girl and she loves that lifestyle. But when she and her boyfriend, Patrick, decide to add a Boxer pup to their home, everything changes. Instead of finding party vomit in her handbag, now she occasionally finds poo bags - empty and otherwise.
Every dog owner will identify with Alice and Patrick as they learn to take on the responsibility of the puppy that takes center stage in their lives ... and Alice shares that learning process with her readers. This is a heartwarming and humorous look at their new world.
The author writes "The owning of an innocent creature has certainly made me more emotional, sensitive and aware of wider problems." That, I think, is the essence of the book. And I think most responsibile dog owners would agree that happens when a dog truly becomes a member of the family.
She also writes - and this is SO true "He lives in our home, an autonomous, unknown, alien creature and yet a slave to our whims and the routine of our household. Always there, always in the backgrond, never making a decision but being the sole reason for so many decisions that are made."
It's clear that Alice "gets" it ... she and Patrick are now among the millions of crazy dog people who give up a little freedom in exchange for an extraordinary amount of joy. I'm betting that their first Boxer pup won't be their last.
I only wish that all Boxers had the loving parents that this guy has. Too many end up in shelters or rescues because their people aren't like Alice and Patrick.
This is a fun, easy read ... enjoy!
