        Paul said about Martha: She was a dear pet of mine.i remember John being amazed to see me being so loving to an animal. He said, 'I've never seen you like that before.' I've since thought, you know, he wouldn't have. It's only when you're cuddling around with a dog that you're in that mode, and she was a very cuddly dog.

          From "Many years from now" One of the first things Paul did on moving in was buy an Old English sheepdog puppy. He called her Martha, and she became the inspiration for one of Paul's best-loved songs. She grew huge with tnagled hair. Paul: Martha was my first pet ever. I never had a dog or a cat at home. My parents both went out to work, which was why we couldn't have any, even when one terrible day they were giving away free puppies! Just a hundred yards away from where we lived. We came screaming home, my brother and I, 'They're giving 'em away! We can get one if you tell us now, we can go and get one, we've chosen the one we want!' They said, 'You can't have one, son. Me and your mum go out to work and it wouldn't be fair on a dog.' 'We'll look after it, we'll do it.' 'You're at school.' 'Well, we'll come back at lunchtime. Surely?' 'No, no, no.' Crying, crying, crying. We just couldn't understand not buying one because we weren't that well off, but passing up a freebie puppy! He was quite firm about stuff like that and I suppose he was right. Paul drove out to get Martha from Ann Davis, a breeder in High Wycombe. The dog was like a huge tangles ball of wool and kept bumping into things because her hair covered her eyes until they tied it up in ribbon. Paul: 'She was a dear pet of mine. I remember John being amazed to see me being so loving to an animal. He said, "I've never seen you like this before". I've since thought, you know, he wouldn't have. It's only when you're cuddling around with a dog that you're in the mode, and she was a very cuddly dog.' At the time the book was published in 1997, so it says, Paul kept three Old English Sheepdogs in his house in Sussex! He also had cats... Thisbe! And Joseph, Mary and Jesus! But Paul seems more like a dog-person! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I have over 100 pictures of Martha, I'll download some of megaupload : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=09SBE3HS

                      What about Jet? That was another of Paul's dogs, right? (Once you know this, the lyrics to Jet make perfect sense all of a sudden... not.)

                              Jet was a puppy. The song Jet was based on a horse.

                                    Didn't we just. The song Jet was about a puppy, the Macs later had a pony called Jet and thirty odd years later Paul got them muddled in an interview. The lyrics to Jet do suggest a pony rather more than a pup though.
