Summary

Hilarious tales from the mayhem of a life peppered with a variety of animals, complicated humans and unusual animal-related jobs.

Beginning again doesn’t always look heroic or clever; sometimes it looks like getting another dog.

About The Author

Virginia Fallon

Virginia Fallon is a writer with an eye for the absurd and a knack for finding humour where it probably shouldn’t be. In previous lives, she has worked as a vet nurse, a deer farmer, and owned a petting zoo where she pretended to shear sheep for cruise-ship tourists.

Now a journalist for more than a decade and currently working for Stuff, The Post and Sunday Star-Times, she was named Best Columnist at the 2026 New Zealand Media Awards.

Virginia lives on the Kapiti Coast, surrounded by family, animals and more writing material than she knows what to do with. Her neighbours think she’s a witch.
