Moobli might be a bit sad for a 12 year old,ive just got mine back from Mike who kindly signed it for me.Hows about getting hold of "Between earth and paradise" "A last wild place" and then" last wild years" tells his story while in Scotland really well.

My wife has a claim to fame. She and her family knew Mike well, and she remembers crossing from one part of Scotland to another by boat, while the bold Moobli ran all the way round the loch and was so fast that he got there before them and was waiting for their arrival! Moobli seems to have been quite a dog!  |

Just found some more info from a few years ago. It seems Moobli was originally called Canters End Ringleader. Mike collected him as a pup from Canters End Riding Stables, somewhere in England. |

Thank heavens he changed the dogs name from its original pedigree one! Can anyone remember why he chose the name moobli? It's been ages since i have read any of mikes books but i do recall that he had an idea to call him flubbadubbs or somesuch as moobli had trouble with his oversize paws as a puppy! |

Now thats a question ive asked myself,so when i write to mike at the end of the week ill ask him,and ill get back to you.As any one who has had a gsd puppy"flubby dub dubs"is kind of right for them when they are so young.I know ive had 7 and dont intend to stop.

Hi all, like several others here i discovered this forum after googling Mike Tomkies. i have spent many a happy hour engrossed in his books ever since my mother bought A last wild place many years ago, i would have loved to have met the man himself and hearing that he lives near Henfield has made me bang my head in despair as i lived in Henfield for several years and had heard about the "Odd wildlife bloke" but i never for a moment thought it would be Mr Tomkies! I have enjoyed reading everybodys posts about him and how he has influenced them in some way and i shall be trying to find a copy of his latest books. | | | |
