Tales of Tails
Welcome to a small corner of my world.
Here, I share my thoughts, a bit of my history, the inspiration behind my stories, and a few surprises along the way.

What’s in a Name?
Why did a little black miniature poodle from Suffolk end up named after one of Tudor England’s most famous cardinals? And how did his apricot-coloured companion nearly become “FitzRoy”? In this reflective blog piece, JR McCoy explores the unexpected stories behind the names Wolsey and Henry, and how the names we give our animals often become woven into memory, history, personality, and family life itself.
Adventures in Inspiration
Where do stories come from? For Wolsey’s Adventures, inspiration has always been rooted in real moments, half-remembered incidents, and experiences that linger in the mind. From lost dogs in the Scottish Highlands to unexplained figures in the dead of night, this is a look at the real-life sparks behind the stories.
